Eleven Months
Evan is almost ONE! He is a very happy guy, and extremely busy. We were lucky he stayed in one place long enough to snap this picture.

Date Night
It is not often that we get the opportunity to gather for a family picture. When Grandma Lyn came up last weekend we had her snap this photo quickly before Nathan and I headed out the door.
It's also not often that Nathan and I get to go out alone for a date night. We went to a lovely French restaurant and enjoyed a calm, peaceful and QUIET dinner. THANK YOU Grandma Lyn!!!

Princess Tool Belt
On a quiet night at home a few weeks ago we noticed Bridget take one of her purses, loop it around her waist, and then proceed to hang two of her fairy wands into the sides. It took her a few minutes to complete the process and we just just sat there and watched her quietly. When Nathan and I finally asked her what she was doing, she said, "I'm making my Princess Tool Belt!". (Duh!)
Christmas 2011
We had a very nice QUIET Christmas morning at home this year. Here are a few highlights:
Christmas Eve 2011
It is becoming tradition for Bridget and Evan to open one gift on Christmas Eve - a pair of Pajamas from Grandma and Grandma Foley. This year they upped the ante by adding a book - The Night Before Christmas. It is a audio book that they pre-recorded with their voices and customized with the kiddo's names. They LOVED it!
Seventh Annual Roommate Dinner
We got together with our friends Sara, Brett, George, Sonya, and Levi again this year. It is a tradition we started way back in 2005 when Sara, Brett, Sonya and myself lived together in San Francisco. We've added to the group over the years, and with the addition of Evan this year, the new members now outnumber the original four!
Roommate dinner was held at our new place this year, just a few weeks after we moved in. It was good motivation to get unpacked and settled!
It's always fun to pick a great recipe and this year was no exception. We settled on a recipe from Nathan's mom - Hawaiian Chicken. It was a big hit!
We did our normal amount of socializing while dinner was cooking.
After dinner the real fun began - the kids' presents!
All in all it was another great roommate dinner. We are so fortunate to have such good friends in our lives, and it is so great that we've been able to keep the tradition going all these years.
