We've had a busy last couple of weeks with getting ready for the Holidays and celebrating Christmas with our families. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with Laurie's cousins in Pleasanton and San Ramon. Kirk's parents and grandma joined us on Christmas Day. We all had a great time and Noelle had fun seeing all the other kids.

Merry Christmas!
Sunday, December 14, 2008
Last weekend we all went to Merced to celebrate great grandma beas's 90th birthday. Great grandma really seemed to enjoy her party, and all the family showed up to celebrate with her.
On Tuesday evening we met up with Dillon & James to go to the winter wonderland festival in Pleasant Hill. It was a really cold night but there were lots of lights and Christmas decorations and fun things to look at.
This weekend we went and got our Christmas tree. It was really cold outside so we had to get all bundled up tried and make it quick.

turkey weekend
We spent our Thanksgiving day in Modesto where Susan's brother and his family invited all of us to celebrate with them at their house. The food was great and we had a good time visiting with everyone. Noelle had fun hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa and warmed up quickly to uncle Eric, walking him around the house by the finger.

trick or treat!
Noelle went on her first official trick or treat outing. We got together with her buddy Dillon and his parents and went to downtown Walnut Creek where the local businesses were giving out treats for kids. Luckily the weather held out and we didn't get rained on!

little wobbly steps
Noelle continues to get better and better at walking. This weekend she has been preferring to try and walk to get somewhere rather than crawling. Of course she tends to get excited after a bit and her giggles affect her balance. I know that if I fell down on my hands and knees every 15 feet or so, I would be pretty sore by the end of the day.

First Steps
Noelle took her first steps on Sunday. It was completely unexpected and she did it a few more times that day. She knew she was doing something special because she had a huge smile on her face, started laughing and then rolling around on the ground being giddy.

Sydney Lynn Iida
We are proud to announce that we have a new niece and Noelle has a new cousin. Darren and Kelli gave birth to Sydney Lynn on September 18th! Allison is now a big sister. We are anxiously awaiting photos but we hear she looks just like big sister.
Pumpkin Patch
We stopped at a couple pumpkin patches in Half Moon Bay on our way back from Monterey (popular spot for pumpkins).
Monterey
Noelle took her second trip to Monterey. 6 months makes a huge difference! As soon as we walked into the aquarium she got really big eyes and started making the sign for fish.
This was a big weekend for Noelle. She learned a few new signs - flower, more and ball. She also started saying baby and flower. She is also getting good at walking while we hold her arms.

Mom's Group 1st Birthday Party
Our Mom's group celebrated our babies 1st birthday together. It has been amazing to watch the babies grow up over the past year. We met everyone when Noelle was 6 weeks old.
