Keeping up

Every time I get the hankering for catching up on friends' blogs, I always want to update ours too.  I am torn between the "Do I document everything and tell lots of stories?  Or do I just post pictures?  Do I post a ga-zillion or just a handful?"  Thus, I get behind in blogging. So, let's get some pictures up and we'll go from there...

 Old town Sac has a great train museum that we frequent.  We go at least once a month.  Zoe has inherited her dad's love for trains.  

 Our own cute lil' turkey.

 One of my dearest mission friends lives just a couple hours away and came to spend Thanksgiving with us and Black Friday (not the freakish 3AM type, later afternoonish type) shopping.

 3 of the 4 cousins hanging out under a blanket that was old when I was a kid.

 Zoe loves the "red ball store."  Target.  She loves running from ball to ball out front.  On this day she said, "I sit down on yellow bumpies and mommy take a picture!"

 Zoe can spend hours at the sink in our downstairs bathroom with her Toy Story figurines, giving them baths and splashing all over.

 And Zoe in a bag.

 We were a little hesitant to get these pictures, but I think the end result was great.

 Zoe loves helping mommy in the kitchen.

 A new love is 'Punzel.  These are two 'Punzel dolls that her aunt Bon Bon brought over for her one evening.

 Making sugar cookies.

 Yay family!

 Zoe in a rare still moment with Daddy.

 Ryan surprised me with a limo ride to go look at Christmas lights.  I'd never been in a limo before so I surprised to see a huge hummer limo ready to pick us up!

 Thanks to Groupon, Zoe is experiencing gymnastics and she loves it.  

 A brief picture with Frosty led to weeks full of "I want Frosty! I want Frosty!"  We wen to DI soon thereafter and found a snowman stuffed animal.  Whew!  

And Benson to wrap things up.
