Adah's Christmas Pictures

Before we left for church Christmas eve, I took some pictures of Adah in her Christmas dress.

Family Tradition

This Christmas season has been so much fun with our Adah! Getting to see her reaction to things for the first time is just awesome! Jon and I both come from families with lot of tradition, so we are starting this year with traditions of our own, and mixing them with some familiar ones too!

Like opening up her clean freshly washed PJ's on Christmas eve, and going to Christmas eve service with our families. Something I grew up doing.

We started a few new ones too! We kicked it off with our 1st annual Lee Christmas dinner party with some close friends (pictures to come). It was so cool to see our friends who we have known for years starting their families like us! Seeing the Rancho Cucamonga lights was a new thing this year that will turn into a tradition.

One tradition we haven't done since I was little was going to Logan's Candy Cane demonstration. It is amazing! First of all, they are amazing gourmet candy canes that will blow any candy canes out of the water. Second, the demo starts with Jerry (the owner) with a big slab of hot peppermint candy that he forms into candy canes. They you get to a piece of warm candy cane. I promise you will never be able to eat a candy cane without thinking about Logan's candy canes.

They will be doing the demo's until the 23rd. The times are 5:30pm, 7pm, and 8:30pm. We are going tomorrow and I am so excited to see the demo and take Adah as we start this new family tradition.

You can find the directions here.

The beginning of the demo

Jerry and my Dad grew up together, so this is a familiar face

Forming the candy cane

The candy ribbon is really good too!

If you can, you should hop on over to the Logan's candy in Ontario, it is worth the drive!

Here is an article on Logan's.

Christmas is Just Around the Corner

 As I am sitting here looking at a few things on my computer, I am reminded that I need to get with it and get some things done for our impending next few hectic weeks. We will be gone next week, the next weekend, and the weekend after that. We are looking forward to it, and it will be a nice break from the day to day stuff.

 We are also looking forward to our anniversary. I am still in shock that we have been married 4 years, and that we have a beautiful little girl to celebrate with us. We will be heading up to a friends cabin in green valley lake, and honestly, Jon and I couldn't be more excited! 

 Then shortly after we get home, we will be experiencing Adah's first Halloween! She will be a cute little Poo Bear! I am planning on taking pictures before then, so I will post them. We will be going to our church's hallelujah night. We are excited about that because Adah's cousin will be joining us.

 The next weekend, we will be going to our first married couples retreat. Our first year of marriage, we couldn't afford it, and the next year, it was a cruise, and we couldn't afford it again, then they didn't have it one year, so now, after 4 years of being married, we are finally going! Because Adah is still so young, and still breast feeding, she will go with us. It will be a nice weekend in Irvine!

 The weekend after that, we are attending our dear friends Randall, and Kristi's wedding. We have been friends with them since before they were dating, and are excited to spend a weekend in Dana Point for the wedding!

 Then, we are just about into the holidays. I can't even believe that. This will be Adah's first holiday season, and I want to soak it up with her. I hope Jon is prepared, because we are going to pull out all the stops for her. Mission Inn, Disneyland, lights at Chino, and all of the great movie's that come with Christmas. We are so excited!
