life in the bath

Makena and I have both been sick for the last week and it seems that the best remedy is a warm eucalyptus bath. So she has been taking at least two per day. Normally when she is not sick, she doesn't really like the bath, but this last week she hasn't wanted to get out. Poor baby...

resemblance??

Chris's mom sent me a few pictures of her when she was Makena's age...Check out the similarity! Well, we definitely know where she got that hair!

Funny enough, I had taken this picture of her several days before she even sent me her picture, so it was completely coincidental that this picture came out looking the same! I didn't try to duplicate it...

mak's eye color

I have had so many people ask me what color Makena's eyes are. I call them hazel because they have several colors in them. In certain lights they look brown, and others they look greenish because they have both colors in them and certain lights reflect one or the other. And forever I have been trying to capture the color with my camera and have been unsuccessful. But today the sunlight was shining right into them, so I busted out my camera. Not perfect, but you get the idea...(clicking on the pic will make it bigger).

ranch and malibu

Here are pics from the few days following Christmas. We hung out at the ranch yesterday and down at the playground in Malibu today...She is still a little sick, but starting to feel better so we had fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We had a fantastic holiday with Chris's parents at the ranch this year and we were all very spoiled with wonderful gifts and family time. We drove out yesterday (Christmas Eve) and stopped to see my grandma and aunt in West Covina for a few hours to exchange gifts. Then we went to Chris's aunt's home for a family dinner in Pasadena. What a great party--and so nice to see everyone. Makena had quite a long day of no napping and getting over being sick.

Christmas morning has been very nice and relaxing--and of course it was all about Makena! Santa brought her some very nice toys--a rocking horse, a choo choo train, learning toys and books, some Minnie Mouse parafanalia, clothes, 2 stockings-- she sure made out! Check out more Christmas pictures...
