ん？朝起きたら雪が積もってました～！

ママ大興奮！大はしゃぎ！

looks like we got snow overnight and mommy got super excited!

さっそく外へ！

we've GOT to go check it out!

お散歩にお出かけ～

早めに出てよかった！昼にはほとんど融けてました。。。

今度いつ降ってくれるかな～

went out for a morning stroll and good thing we did!

most of it was melted by noon :(

i hope it snows again soon...and MORE of it!

office supplies are boring...

文房具屋さんにて。。。

at the office supply store waiting for mommy to pick out some pens...

i think he's bored and trying to send me a message...

holiday season...!

かっこよく足を組んでます。

（笑）

look at this! i took this picture and realized later that he had his legs crossed...

hahahaha

先日ジェームズの会社のクリスマス・パーティーに参加しました。

毎年ステキなパーティーだけど今年はさらにすごかった！

シアトルど真ん中のビルの74階で行われました。

景色がご覧のとおり。ワオ！

そしてテーマは「カジノ」でドレスコードは黒＆白。

楽しかった！ブラックジャックも初体験。お酒が飲めなかったのが残念。

every year James' company party is amazing..but this year really topped it!

it was in downtown seattle on the 74th floor of the columbia towers...WOW!

the view was amazing! 

it was also a 'casino theme' and the dress code was black & white...pretty fancy♥

too bad i couldn't drink BUT i did play some blackjack and it was real fun!

ハンバーグを美味しく食べてくれました。

この時期になるとクリスマスショッピングなど、贈り物がいろいろ届いて箱がたまりますね～

でも箱も遊び物になって楽しいね！

when it comes to the holiday seasons we get lots of boxes from shopping and deliveries.

but hey, more 'toys' to play with!

かわいい猫ちゃんのスリッパー発見♥

おっ！ジェームズが中学生の頃の写真！

かわいい♥

hey look! it's a photo of James from junior hight♥♥aaaah so cute!!

"ho ho ho"

Tree...!

ばぁばのお家です。

普段は絶対に昼寝をしてくれないけど、この日はママの抱っこで寝てくれました！

久しぶりに抱っこで寝てくれたので赤ちゃんの頃を思い出しました。

Kai never takes a nap at Grandma's....but this day he did.

i had to cradle him but it was so sweet...he never falls asleep on me anymore!

it brought me back baby memories♥

そしてクリスマスツリー完成♥

here's our christmas tree!

i'm not quite done with it yet...

おっ！これはカイが生まれた年のOrnament.

もう2年前だね～

o look! it's Kai's first Christmas ornament!

これは結婚する前にジェームズがくれたOrnament.

ディズニーの金魚姫ちゃん。

気に入ってます♥

my favorite Ariel ornament James got me before we got married.

i love it!

そして今年の一番の出来事は多分お家を買ったこと.

New HomeのOrnamentです。

and this year's big event...that we bought a home♥

couple videos..!

doodling some drawings and mingling with others♥

not shy at all

お絵かき中。

全然人見知りしません。。。

ママと大違い！

just giving the plane a few laps before take-off ^__^

♥

snowflake lane...!

Kai really liked the drummers♥

waiting for the show to start in the FREEZING cold!

♥

"oh no!!"

still can't get the pedaling right... 

"Oh No!!"

making a mess at mommy's desk...crumbs everywhere!!

been a while since Kai fell asleep downstairs...

usually he will only sleep in his bed.

picky boy ^_^

my giant winter hat...!

さて出かけよう！

今日はドラッグストアに行かなきゃ。

let's get ready to go run some errands!

おとなしく新聞を読みながら待ってくれました。

おじいさんみたい～（笑）

he waited patiently for me while it took me a while to find something.

三輪車にも乗ったぞ！

寒いから手袋もしようね。

we practiced on the tricycle too!

but brrrr it's so cold...make sure to wear mittens!

@ starbucks while mommy gets her hot chocolate fix.

スタバにて。

lounging and reading...!

Kai knows how to relax and mellow out.

this was too funny!

この座り方に笑いました。

それも子供の本じゃなくて、パパのコーヒーの本を読んでます。

mitten problems...!

最近手袋にハマってます。

でも手袋をしてるとなかなか本が読めない。。。

Kai is loving mittens these days.

But he's learning that it makes a lot of everyday activities a bit difficult...

like reading a book.

「あれ。。開かないよ～」

"what the....i can't flip the pages!"

kai's microphone...!

^__^

thanksgiving 2013...!

七面鳥です。

お食事time!

ばぁばとゲームを遊んでます。

playing some games on the computer

久々のSisterツーショット♥

そしてカイが撮った写真。

上手くじぃじの顔だけぼけていない。

and the final shot taken by Kai !

yep, he took it...and miraculously focused only on Grandpa's face!

good shot!

*wink*

 

say cheese!

i got a wink♥

daddy and our christmas tree!

i still have to upload some thanksgiving photos...

i've been slacking a bit...this second pregnancy seems to be tiring me out a lot more.

maybe it's because i have a toddler to watch but i'll get there!
