Aunt Rachel's Baby Shower Weekend

Claire went on her first airplane ride this weekend!  Mom and Claire went to California for Aunt Rachel's baby shower (we left the boys at home).

Before the shower, we took Claire for her first visit to the beach:

Claire also got to meet her great grandma Tutu.

And her grandpa Tom.

The next day, it was time to get ready for the shower!

Grandma outdid herself with the decorations:

And all the guests made their own onesies for the new baby:

Claire pretty much slept the entire time outside where it was quiet.

But she woke up just in time for presents:

Grandma loved cuddling up with Claire.

After the shower, we took a boat ride in Newport beach with cousins Lauren and Kurt and baby Brinkley.

 

It was a very busy weekend!  Click here to see all the pictures.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in California this year.  A month after Halloween, CJ is still dressing up like Spiderman!

 

We also visited the Getty museum this year.

 

 

And back at Grandma's house, we had early Christmas!

Professional Fall Pics

While visiting family in California, we took the opportunity to have some professional Fall pictures taken.  Here CJ is 2 years, 9 months, and his baby sister is still in mommy's tummy.  Some of our favorite pictures are posted below or click here to see all the pictures from our session.

 

 

Tutu's 90th B-day Weekend

CJ and mom went to California this weekend for Tutu's 90th birthday party on Sunday.  CJ loved the train and airtrain.

Before the party, we did lots of other things.  We goofed around at Gamma's house.

Went to the mall and road the carousel.  

We went to the Long Beach Aquarium and saw lots of fish.

And we visited with great grandma.

At the party, CJ met his second cousins Elle and Beckly.

And Brinkley.

And played in the pool with lots of other kids.
