The Holley Family

Two of my good friends have taken on "Project 365" and have inspired me to do the same. Basically, the goal is to take one picture everyday for a year and to post the picture along with a brief description. It's been quite interesting and entertaining to follow these women's adventures and while I don't anticipate my posts to be as exciting as a new college grad or someone studying/traveling in Europe, I thought this would be a unique way to document the first year of the littles' lives. I can just about guarantee that this blog will not be updated daily and perhaps not even weekly, but I'll give it my best effort to post on a regular basis. My hope is that this will be a popular site for the grandparents, godparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends of the littles and that this can be a fun way to watch them grow.

*November, 2011* We made it through the year, and I thought perhaps I'd try to redesign the blog for the future, intermittent updates. But, this twin mom is going to keep it simple and just keep going. Do not expect daily photos; we'll just post highlights from now on. Enjoy.

Christmas Eve Fun

We had a wonderful (small and intimate for our family) dinner and Christmas Eve celebration. We were honored to have our newest member of the family, Alex, join us on his very first Christmas. Later that night, Bennett and got to experience the joy of becoming "Santa" while we got everything prepared for Josie and Noah to wake up on Christmas morning.

Not as easy the second time around

December 18, 2011
I tried to get some photos of Josie and Noah in the hats they received last year from Grandma and Grandpa. The photo shoot a year ago was significantly easier.

Why shop when you can ride trains?

November 25, 2011
Everyone headed to Sonoma's Train Town on Black Friday (may make this a family tradition). Josie and Noah both loved the train ride, the petting zoo, and the small village. However, neither were fans of the carousel.

Thanksgiving (and an early Christmas)

November 24, 2011
Josie and Noah took Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Abby on a pre-dinner walk to the park and then we all enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving dinner. And since it was also our "Christmas" with the Holleys, we had to introduce Josie and Noah to the cracker tradition. Seems as though they're going to have to warm up to the idea of wearing their crowns during dinner.

Dad put up Christmas lights in the backyard so that we could enjoy them all season.
