Hall Family Christmas Pictures

Our Little Santas

Kai would not take his finger out of his nose...he thought it was funny! Like father like son :)

Kai fell backwards while taking this picture and decided to take Nyomi with him. Don't worry she was laughing the whole time.

Kai wanted to wear Nyomi's Santa hat...so we put his on her head.

Kai Wants to Ski

Kai saw daddies ski goggles and beanie today. He asked us, "What's this?" We told him what they were and that they were used to go skiing in snow. "I want to go skiing mommy!" he replied. I told him we couldn't go right now. So, he asked if he could watch "Frosty" in the goggles and beanie.....funny boy!

Adorable....

Kai loves leaves. Whenever we go out of the house he will pick up two leaves from the ground and bring them into our car. He will play with them for hours ... OK, a bit of an exaggeration... Still, I was thinking I should just wrap some leaves up for Christmas and not spend money on a toy he will not play with :).

Nyomi Standing...

A few days ago I walked into my kids room to find Nyomi standing in her crib. Now she is not content to sit or crawl, she is constantly trying to pull herself up to stand on all the furniture in the house. Crazy girl!! I really do not want her to start walking anytime soon! I already miss being able to leave her on a blanket on the floor and know that she will not go anywhere.

Christmas Tree Hunting...

We have always started our Christmas season by going to the tree farm to cut down our Christmas Tree. This year was really fun because Kai got really into it....hiding and running all around the trees. He even helped pick out our tree. So fun!!!! Nyomi enjoyed watching her brother while being snug as a bug in my sling.

Six Months and crawling...

Kai loves playing with sister because she follows him around the room.

Our Little Pumpkins

We decided that all our kids would wear this cute pumpkin outfit for their first Halloween. Here is Nyomi in it @ 5 months.

Here is Kai @ 5 months. Gosh, Matt and I look so much younger...Matt actually has hair. jk

Trick or Treat

Our Family of Four

"Bob the Builder" who would not look at the camera....we did not get one picture of him looking at the camera!

Kai walking the pank to get some candy.

Kai got the hang of trick or treating really fast.

Nyomi sitting up and trying to crawl

Nyomi at Five Months

OK, so I gave in and put a giant ribbon on her head but I compensated for her "girlieness" (yes, I know this is not a word) by putting tennis shoes on her too.

Daddy and Kai Shaving

Matt already preparing Kai for his inevitable hairiness by showing him how to put on shaving cream. :)

"Daddy you missed a spot on your nose. You don't want to look like Grandpa!" hehe

Tanaka Farms

On Monday we went on a Fieldtrip with our Mommy and Me class. Candice and her kids came with us. It was so fun....and so hot!!!! Here are Kai and Ella on the wagon ride.

Kai loved petting the animals. His favorite was the baby goat.

Kai thought he would challenge this very big goat...the goat backed down..haha

This is Kai with some of his other classmates. He would not smile for me ...In fact I think he was doing it on purpose...'mommy wants to get cute pictures of me, I am not going to look at her and smile' was what he was probably thinking ...boo!

Kai and Ella walked hand in hand through the corn maze.

Oh Disneyland How We Miss Thee...

Kai and I were reminiscing the days when we used to go to Disneyland together. So, he went around the house wearing this hat and saying "Oh Toodles!". He is hoping that someday Toodles will have a pair of Disneyland Season passes for us in his Mouse -K-Tools. (and so is mommy)

My Cute Kids

I wanted to compare my kids to see how much they really do look alike. I forget how chunky kai was (I love chunky babies!)...other than that they really do look alike except Nyomi is alot fairer. I'm bias but they are sure adorable kids to me! Nyomi @ 41/2 in her bouncer.

Kai @ 41/2 months in his bouncer. He was a little chunky monkey!

Nyomi @ 4 months

Kai @ 4 months

Kai's First Dodger Game

For Matt's birthday he took Kai to his first Dodgers game with Grampie. He loved it!!

Kai loves to put his finger up and say "Go Dodgers!"

Of course he had to have a Dodger dog and some nachos at the game.
