December

The month of December was full of fun activities for our little family. Audrey and I started off the month by going to a mommy and me dance class. She loved it, and I loved watching her. She was such a natural! Disclaimer: I know she looks knock kneed and pigeon toed in this picture, of which she is neither, she is just going around in circles.
Audrey loves watching the movie, "12 Dancing Princesses" (shocking, I know) and at the end Barbie gets married and dances with her groom. While they are dancing Barbie puts her head back and arches her back...kinda like Audrey in this picture. Audrey grabbed this little girl and started dancing with her. All of a sudden Audrey pulls this move and then looks at the girl and says, "Married!"

Dave and I had a fun date night with lots of our fabulous friends and went to go see the comedian Brian Regan. If you ever have the chance to go see him, definitely go. He is so funny, and so clean, a rare thing these day! These are just some of the girls that went, the boys were all talking.

Regan had a little Christmas party with a fun ornament exchange and then we went to see the movie "Enchanted". Fun, fun night before everyone left for break. Let me rephrase that, before everyone left ME for break. They all seemed to go home leaving me here all by my lonesome!

Mindi had people over for one last get together after finals. There was numerous kids running around, numerous husbands talking dental stuff, and lots of yummy food. Thank you Mindi, it was so fun!

We did Christmas with my family a few weeks before Christmas. Audrey and Savy are opening a gift from D...a dress up trunk! This trunk will stay at D's house for her two granddaughters to enjoy. I'm sure Brother will get his fare share of time in these costumes too...maybe not by choice.

Dave and I took Audrey to Fentons in Oakland for the best toasted almond ice cream with the best caramel sauce. When Audrey was born I couldn't have any dairy for eight months, so you better believe I will be headed back to Fentons at least twice before this baby is born in case I can't eat dairy again. I love the look on Audrey's face...and her little belly sticking out...and her hand...

Dave had to study a little over break, and the weather was so terrible (the storm got so bad that our power was out for 44 hours - thank you Memor and Fafa for letting us come to your house!) so Audrey and I put on our "comfy clothes" and headed off on a little date together to the movies. It was so fun, and Audrey did so well. I let her pick out the treats, but she ended up not really liking the popcorn (which is fine by me, I ate the entire bag) but she loved the Slurpee. I love this girl...

Once the movie started she wanted to sit on my lap and she kept saying, "It's too loud!" She watched the entire movie like this...with one hand over her ear! We went to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and Audrey talked about the chipmunk movie for days afterward. That movie and the "CutCracker" (Nutcracker), the Barbie movie Dave rented for her.

I hope 2008 will be as much fun as 2007. We really had a great year and I'm looking forward to many more fun times in 2008.
