The Pless People: December 2009

now its time to play

The day after Christmas Emory & Lily (and daddy) played with some of their new toys in some of their new outfits. Thanks to everyone who helped make this Holiday for our family!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone reading our blog. We spent the holiday with our family and friends up at Shanti and Aimee's house. We spent Christmas Eve and then enjoyed the present tornado in the morning. Tiffany & Tommy were there for dinner with "little" Sam and Tommy's mom joined us as well. Below are some highlights of the evening/morning below:

Andrea with Serena, Lily & Shilah

Emory leaping from chair to couch...doesn't seem to matter where he is these days, always jumping!

Serena is also great at jumping

Tommy & Sam...for those of you who don't know, Sam is about 3 weeks older than Lily is

Sam (with Patriots passifer) surronded by Shilah, Tiffany, Andrea, Lily and you can barely make out Serena in the background

and Shanti & Aimee...

...and Gabe & Andrea could relax a little.

Pictures from this week

We got a new camera this week and I have been taking lots of pictures. I love it and have been having lots of fun with it. Above are some pictures from this past week, last one is from a picture on our wall with the Macro lense, hopefully I will be able to gets some pretty cool shots with this lense.

Zoo Lights

Last night we went to Zoo Lights at the Denver Zoo. It was a nice, warmish evening and it was quite crowded, but the kids seemed to have a good time. We even got to meet up with one of my friends from work for a little while:

Bean Bag Chair

We got a large bean bag chair from one of Andrea's co-workers and it was an instant hit with both kids and parents alike. It is so comfortable, soft and big!
