Christmas Day 2009

Here are some pictures of Christmas Day. We hosted it this year at our house & that worked out very well with the girls taking some long & needed naps. Julia loves her new school bus (pictured below...from Aunt Carrie) & all her new books & movies! Phoebe enjoyed her 1st Christmas as much as a 6 month old can. I thought Julia would be way more excited then she was, but, I think it was all a little overwhelming. We are still recovering from all the excitement!

Merry Christmas to all you Blog Readers! We love you!

Kimball Christmas!

We had a ton of fun with Papa Ricky & Grandma Jean this X-mas. Everyone must have been really good this year, because, Santa was very generous! Kennedy & Julia got some adorable matching jammies & had fun watching Pinocchio & staying up until 10 o'clock!

Macy's & Santa 2009

Here are some pictures from our annual Santa visit. We didn't even try to have Julia sit on Santa's lap & it worked out okay. She did cry, but, I think in the end she was happy to have seen him! We had a wonderful lunch in the Walnut Room after. I love family traditions!

6 Months

I can't believe Phoebe is 6 months already (well, almost 6 1/2 actually). Look how HUGE she is sitting on Julia's lap! Sorry for the lack of blogging, but, we have been under the weather ever since Thanksgiving. It has been a long 2 weeks, but, we are all feeling better (not all the way, but, close!). At Phoebe's 6 month check up she weighed 16 1/2 #'s, so, she is about 1/2 a Julia:)

Julia & Morgan live it up @ the Shedd

Today we went to the shedd w/ our friend Morgan & her Mommy, Sarah. We had so much fun! These 2 are hilarious together & cracked us up all day long. After that we went to see Grandma & Grandpa, so, that made for a very long day. On the ride home Julia said "Mommy, I had fun w/ Morgan today" then "Mommy, I take a nap"!

Halloween 2009

Just when you think you know somebody...Julia was ALL about Halloween. She absolutely loved going door to door. She led the pack of her & her friends. I couldn't believe it. Before we went out I said to Jake "let's not even try to get her to go to the houses, maybe she will see Franky & Mia do it & want to go." Without any hesitation at all she went & probably would have kept going & going. At first she had it backwards & wanted to give the candy to the people instead of the other way around, but, quickly she learned & loved it!

Baby Loves Disco!

On the 18th we went to this event called "Baby Loves Disco" at a bar in Naperville. I won 4 tickets to the event & so we went with the Derwins. Julia was very out of her element & wasn't quite sure about it all, but, it really was a lot of fun. I really wish she had enjoyed herself more, they were people there doing hair & face painting, would have loved if Julia would have taken part in that....oh well! here is a link to a family pic they took of us there. Not the best picture, but, what can you do! here are a couple more from the day:

So Short!

Julia's hair was looking a little shaggy, so, I took her in today for a cut. I think I had them cut it too short...whoops. She still looks cute though. Luckily hair grows back!
