Christmas in California

The day after our big disney day was Christmas Eve.  Anna and Isaiah enjoyed playing with the train table together.  I love them in their Christmas PJs.

Anna showed Isaiah how it worked...I think Isaiah liked putting the trains on the floor instread.

Watching the trains where you can't touch!  Hopefully next year Anna and Isaiah will both sit nicely and it will be Owen that will have to be held on too.

Mikey's mom sent matching outfits for the boys...

Isaiah petting Owen gently, I think.

They are so cute!

Jonathan and Lesley opened gifts on Christmas Eve since they left later that night for Lesley's parents house.  Anna enjoyed her gifts.

Isaiah had a hard time just watching Anna.

Owen's first Christmas! 

We woke up Christmas morning to open more gifts.  Isaiah had no trouble with the time difference, I don't know how these babies do it :)

It was a great Christmas spend with the whole family.  We miss them already and wished we were a couple thousand miles closer....

Christmas at Disneyland

We love Disneyland! It is especially magical at Christmas time with all the decorations and lights.  Jonathan asked us if we would want to go as a family, and of course we said yes!  He found a computer program that planned out our day to the minute.. and it actually worked!  We were able to go on so many rides during one of the busiest times of the year.

The tram ride... two grandsons!

Waiting in line to get into the park...yes, we were there before it opened! 

Dumbo! Everyone loved it...especially Anna and Isaiah.

Matching boys...I love them both :)

The whole family on the storybook ride....

Aunt Sarah and Isaiah

It's a small world!

Isaiah was so sad here... I don't remember why :)

Sweet Mickey ears...his second visit to DLAND.

Mr. Cool, walking the streets like he owns them.

The Miller family in front of the castle...

Sarah and I...33 weeks here!

The four siblings... I love them! This was such a wonderful day.  All the babies did so good, there were some meltdowns.. especially at the end...but we can defiantly do it again...you don't need naps when you are at the happiest place on earth :)

Brown Family Christmas 2013

Before we left for California, we celebrated Christmas at home.  Mikey had been working nights that week, so we had "Christmas Morning" in the afternoon.

Isaiah was very spoiled this year.  I had already planned on getting him the Ikea Children's table and chairs (19.99!), Mikey's brother Mark sent him the basketball hoop, and then I found a 10.00 kitchen at a yard sale.  I hadn't planned on getting him a kitchen, so I had no food or pots to go with it.

We made a hand print ornament this year....

When Isaiah woke up from his nap, we unwrapped gifts.

He went right to the kitchen and then to his table.  Unfortunately for Isaiah, we decided to put the kitchen back in our closet that night.  He isn't quite ready for it and he hasn't asked for it or wondered where it went :) 

He does love sitting at his table though.  He asks for help to sit down but he can get out of the chair by himself.

He loves his new basketball! I mean look at that face!

He also got a new book called Baby Sister.... 

Slam dunk Isaiah!

He received a broncos pillow from Grandma Elliott and a new football from Uncle Jeff.  He really wasn't that interested in opening presents...maybe next year!

December Mischief and 16 months

No new Christmas decoration this year.... Sarah says that I can't have a tacky Christmas... so I have slowly let go of the decorations that I used in college.  I am hoping to get a few new things after Christmas this year on sale.

Isaiah loves ringing the red bells... he doesn't pull them down, just gently tugs on them.

16 month boy!

In our backyard, freezing cold, with his favorite ball.

This is the best shot so far of him by the Christmas tree, he CAN NOT sit still!

Using his dog as a step stool.

His favorite book is he Bible.  He asks for it when he wakes up, but is still a little rough with it.

One of his newer things is pushing his trucks on the floor.

Christmas pajama baby!

Can you notice the Christmas tree ornaments?  They were spaced out until Isaiah decided to examine each one... oh well!

oh yeah, this happened when the boys knocked the kitchen gate down.  Free reign on the kitchen, it will get fixed soon.
