Train date

Paloma and I met Noah and his mommy at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park for a play date today. Noah LOVES trains. Notice the cute engineer outfit he is wearing. We all enjoyed the train ride around the park. But the kids especially enjoyed running around, chasing and feeding the birds.

Merry Christmas to all!

Here are some of our holiday highlights.

Happy Holidays, from the Guerins! (If you didn't receive a card in the mail, this is our photo greeting.



Paloma and Daddy on Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Goodsell's house. Sweet Pea is totally in love with the bead necklaces Grandma gave her (much more so than any of her Christmas gifts - Who knew?!).

Sweet Pea loves the fancy new chair that Santa brought her



Although she waves at all the toy Santas in the neighborhood and kisses the Santa ornaments, Paloma didn't want anything to do with the real Santa when he came to visit her on Christmas morning.



Paloma got a bike seat and helmet from Grandma and Grandpa Guerin.



And she got lots of pretty clothes, like this sweater.

The Reindeer Tradition

Daddy and Paloma took first place again this year (1st stroller, that is) in the Tempe Town Lake Reindeer Run. And this time, I remembered to bring the camera.

Proud winners...

(Notice all the competition in the background)

Tempe night out

Paloma and Eliza had a fun night on the town this weekend, at the Tempe Town Lake Boat Parade. It was so crowded that we couldn't really get close to the lake to see the boats, but the girls enjoyed the nice display of fireworks (you'll have to trust me on this one)



and a yummy dinner at P.F. Changs.



They also loved the puppet display in one of the store fronts.

Loves lolly pops

Paloma had a great time at her best friend, Natalia's, 2nd birthday party on Sunday. She had her very first lolly pop, which she became completely obsessed with.



Our friend took this nice picture of the three of us too.

Biker baby

My father bought Sweet Pea this little Harley Davidson onesie for her birthday last summer. We've just been waiting for it to get cool enough for her to wear it. He keeps asking for a picture of her in it, so today we finally took several.












Ready to go for a ride, Grandpa!

Yummy yogurt

Sweet Pea's latest interest is feeding herself yogurt and other messy foods with a spoon. She hasn't quite mastered the technique.

Prescott Christmas

We went up north this weekend for the annual Christmas Parade and lighting of the square in Prescott. Oh, and to visit Santa too, of course.

Paloma watched the parade with Grandma,



(Look at her at last year's parade!)



and Grandpa,



and Mommy and Daddy. This was ALMOST our family Christmas picture.



Santa's littlest helper helped with the decorating,






and played around the house in her new Christmas jammies.






AJ and Sweet Pea couldn't resist Daddy when he was laying on the floor!



Oh, and Sweet Pea really didn't like Santa.
