a thousand words

Classic picture. I saw in my mind the cutest shot for new years and this is not it, I will not be getting it this year! Stella was not having the crown. A little nap hangover still lingering. And I love that the way I framed it, the point of the crown is going up Mimi's nose. Sorry Mom.

so long 2009.

here's to a new year of happiness, hope and joy!

to all of you, far and near,

we wish you only the best in '09!

much love from all of us.

Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We had a great Christmas with our girl!

Here are some of our pics that I'm finally getting around to posting.

Stella's first Santa picture It's tradition that we go to Fashion Island with the Draeger clan and take pictures with Santa. Stella slept right through... maybe next year we'll get the crying picture!

The best present ever Jason said that all he wanted for Christmas was Stella under the tree with a big bow... well, Santa delivered!

What Stella got for Christmas I found this a little while ago at Nordstrom's and ordered it... it's a doll called Baby Stella! It was delivered on her due date (November 16th)! The pacifier is magnetic - so cute - Stella's doing her "touchdown" sleeping pose next to her twin.

New Year, New Baby And for ringing in 2008, Stella partied with us at a friend's house in her snazzy glasses! She slept right through Rockin' New Year's Eve. Best wishes for a healthy, happy and fun 2008!
