New Year's Eve 2009

On New Year's Eve we tried to keep Kendall awake to ring in her 1st Birthday, but it was no surprise that she didn't make it!

Mommy gets a new car!

Bye-bye good ole Jetta! Mommy got a new car on the very last day of the year. :)

Where in the world is the Padilla Family?

Busy, busy, and just plain ole busy!

Since November, I started working on my Master's degree in Educational Leadership and with that taking much of my 'free' time I haven't had a chance to blog.

My apologies to my girls.

Updates coming your way! :)

Lauren's Big Surprise

One look at her Barbie House, after ripping off the gift bag and she ran straight to her room to grab her Barbies to play in it!

Kendall enjoys playing with one of the may toys Santa brought her. I also enjoyed playing with my new FLIP video camera for the first time!

ACA Holiday Play

Oh, how I love seeing my daughter perform! Best of all, this year Lauren wasn't the one crying for Mommy. She felt so comfortable up there in front of the parents. Lauren's best fan!

Daddy turns the big 30!

The night before Daddy's birthday we went to Fiddler's to celebrate his over the hill mark. hehehe... {Henry, Gabe, and Mariel}

On his actual birthday we went to Hollywood Studios.

I could probably pick a goofball picture of the month! Here is a good one for November when she progressed to solids quite nicely!

Thanksgiving 2009

We celebrated Kendall's 1st Thanksgiving at my Mom's house with many family members! We were so lucky that my baby cousin Lucas and family joined us! The girls loved meeting him. Kendall enjoyed all of the scrumptious food!
My cousin posted an adorable slide show of their trip to us on her blog! http://www.slide.com/r/9ODxe2q00T8qCEMo7AKGPXktQlV5HnTj?previous_view=lt_embedded_url
