Alex & Jackie's Wedding

Jackie, our Cast Tech. at work, got married on December 16th. She, and her husband Alex, celebrated with a reception at their house on Friday, December 19th. Being that we are all "one big family" at work, we all got together and helped the happy couple with a reception they would never forget. After eating dinner and opening lots of gifts, we headed to the Extremes for a night of fun. Alex and Jackie met at Extremes last year. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Quiroz!

Visit with Santa

Last week I took Matthew to Rascals to Rebels in Huntington Beach to get his picture taken with Santa. I chose to take him there because it was a fundraiser to raise money for breast cancer. Matthew was not scared at all. He had a great time and I got some great shots.

Santa Hats...

Doggy kisses...

Okay...So, we already know, I'm a big dork. I am so excited for Christmas this year that I felt the need to get both Mattie and Paulie Santa hats for Christmas. Even more, a photo shoot to follow. The three of us had so much fun taking pictures. Okay. I think I had the most fun. Anyways, here are some of the pics of our photo shoot in the guest bedroom. Histerical, I must say!

CHOC Christmas Party

Lance & Brenda hosted this year's work Christmas party at their home in Irvine. It was so great to see everyone and to wish them a Merry Christmas. Matthew also had a blast, as he cannot get enough attention these days! He was a trooper and would not go to bed there. I think he stayed up until almost 10:30. Our little night owl!

Our Family

Matthew & Leigh

Matthew is Five Months Old!

Today I took Matthew to his pediatrician's office for two of his shots. Today he received the hib and the Prevnar vaccine. I have been following Dr. Sear's vaccine protocol and have been taking Matthew every month for two shots. This routine has been working very well for him. And of course, they weighed him today. Matthew weighed in at 17 pounds and 9 ounces. Wow! One BIG boy! And, as of yesterday, our little man is able to sit up on his own. My mom told me that he was sitting up yesterday while she was babysitting him. And, I got to witness this today. It is so amazing to watch him grow and grow. He is such a precious gift from God!

Matthew's First Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, Kelly and Vince were in town. We had them over for Thanksgiving brunch. After stuffing ourselves, we headed to La Verne, to Grandma and Grandpa Goodrich's house, for Thanksgiving dinner. When we arrived at their house, Grandma Carole had the Christmas tree tied on the top of the 56 Chevy. We all posed in front of the car for our Christmas pictures this year. We got some great shots.....To follow.

Our Hot Date

For my birthday, my wonderful husband took me on a "hot date" to our favorite restaurant, The Matsu. Grandma and Grandpa Goodrich watched Matthew while we went out and had a night to ourselves. Thank you, honey...I love you!
