Fa-la-la-la-la ... la-la..la-la

I was very excited for Christmas this year as Addi is a year older (and so is everyone else), but she finally "gets it." This year when Addi went to visit Santa she asked for "a four wheeler and the rest will be a surprise." Well, the "Elf on the Shelf" must have reported good things back to Santa as the little Munchkin received the four wheeler she asked for.

The video below is her first ride.... she is much more comfortable driving now and drives like a pro.

I even got to ride the four wheeler. :) Its super fun!!

She also received a very special present from Papa and Nah....let's just say, she will be well educated. :) Pa could not wait to open the extra special present with his granddaughter.

The past few years we have web cammed with our family in Hawaii and this year was no exception. Sometimes you have to be creative to show your gift to the web cam.

Munchkin and I checking out her Zhu Zhu pets. :)

Hope you all had a very merry and blessed Christmas too! For more pictures, please click here to view my parent's blog. Cheers and Happy New Year! Here's to new adventures, unforgettable memories and good health in 2010!

Holiday Extravaganza 2009

The Annual PL Holiday Extravaganza once again did not disappoint! The night was spent with good company, awesome live music, many laughs, dancing and fun memories. It is always so much fun seeing everyone dressed up and having a good time. We are all so fortunate to work for a great company and along side so many great co-workers!

As one co-worker says, "This is how we roll."

Lil' Cougar

If you know me, you know where my loyalties lie. Well this picture just warms my heart... Below are just a few things that I absolutely adore about Munchkin:



- She sings the WSU Fight song

- Says, "My favorite color is purple, but we cheer for red"

- Participates in the GOOOOO... COOOOOUGS cheer

- When she sees the Cougar logo says, "Oh that's Go Cougs"

I especially love the story of how Munchkin was shopping with my mom and sister at UVillage. Mom commented on the "purple signs" and Munch turned around without hesitating and says, "Nah, I'm going to pound your head, we don't cheer for purple we cheer for red." I absolutely LOVE the fact that Munchkin loves football and will give you a play by play using football terminology. One of my most favorite recent moments with Munch was when she climbed onto my lap, snuggled up and watched football with me. She even asks if its the weekend yet so she can watch football. Am I in Heaven or what? I love this little one to the moon and back even when she changes who she's cheering for mid-game because she doesn't want to loose!
