Cienna is 11 Months Old!

We headed up to Santa Rosa for a successful and fun filled Thanksgiving where we got to visit and play with all the family, including: Great Auntie Sheryl, Uncle Jerry, and Great Grandma Nelson (GG). We also got to meet Grandma Judes which has been providing us with TONS of wonderful clothes. When we got home we were invited to Cienna's first USC vs. UCLA football party where she won big in the football pool. Everyone thought it was beginners luck but we'll see about that next year.

Soon after that, the backyard was outfitted with new grass and flagstone that we had to fence off and not play on until we returned from our Wedding/Christmas trip.

We took our 3rd road trip, for the year, to the East Bay to watch Uncle RJ and new Aunt Megan get married. Cienna was the proud flower girl and did a great job for her Uncle and Aunt! After all the wedding excitement and meeting so many new friends and family we went a little further North to Santa Rosa for Christmas.

We had some unfortunate news Christmas eve morning. While we were gone, our neighbors informed us that Cherie's car, parked in the driveway, was hit by a drunk driver and pushed on to our front lawn along with his, coming just short of the house and Cienna's room. We're glad we weren't home and nobody was hurt.

We had an amazing Christmas Eve with Grammy, Grandpa Kim, Great Aunt Bridget and Vicki, Great Grandpa Sam and Marlies, and of course, mommy and daddy. We sang and dance after we opened so many wonderful gifts.

On Christmas Day we also got to see Cousin Erik, Trevor, and Ashley, Auntie Heather, Dana, Uncle Mike and Nana and Papa. We had so much fun playing all day with more new toys that Cienna was so lucky to get from all the family.

Throughout the past month Cienna has learned so many more skills and is has gotten so big. She now will put her toys back where they came from after taking them out, and I speak full sentences in a foreign language that we're not sure which one it is. She eats pretty much any kind of food in bite size pieces which she chomps down on with her 8+ teeth. She's also gotten up to as many as 8 steps walking all by herself and loves to go up and down the steps the way daddy and mommy want her too, with ease.
