Chloe loves taking pictures with her little brother

 I can't believe it is almost May and I am just now posting Christmas pictures! I am going to try my best to update the past few months as soon as I can. I am glad that I take so many pictures because I barely remember what was going on with two busy kids. Christmas time is an exciting time of year in our house. Chloe was especially excited about it because she is at an age where she really understands what is going on. We put up our Christmas tree, made a gingerbread castle, decorated the house, saw Christmas lights, met Santa, and Chloe performed with her preschool class in a Christmas performance (Video). She wanted Santa to bring her a doll for Christmas, and that is what she got along with a lot of other new toys for the kids to share. We went on our first vacation as a family to Disneyland to see the Christmas decorations and lights. We had a great time, James was a great baby and slept most of the time. Matt and I took turns taking Chloe on the rides. Chloe's loved having her hair and makeup done at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. This trip was definitely all about Chloe and trying our best to make the holiday into our own special family time since we couldn't be close to our family this year. We celebrated Christmas Eve with our friends and Christmas day we just relaxed and let the kids enjoy their new toys. James rolled over for the first time on Christmas Day to see his present!
