Stathis Cousins

All together for Christmas, and boy did they have fun.

Busy Girl

It seems like overnight Leah has started to do toddler things...

She climbs the stairs (supervised, of course)

She also likes to...

Eat tons of Mac & Cheese

Look out her bedroom window

Sit on the bottom step and stand up and sit down again

Pull all of her toys out of her toy bin

Cruise around the furniture

Stand up, while she pulls on anything she can to get steady, my hair included

Do the splits when she is trying to sit back down after standing

Talk to all the kids during church

Stay up and play in the afternoon instead of taking a second nap

Open and close cupboards and laugh as she takes stuff out

Birthday Girl

We had a little party to celebrate.


Her friends, cousins, and Grandma and Grandpa Stathis all came.


We had fun playing games, opening presents, and eating cake.


Leah loved the frosting.


The last year has gone by so quickly, a little too quickly at times. We really have enjoyed every minute of getting to know this sweet little girl.

Girls Trip to NYC

Lisa bought me a ticket to see the Rockettes for Christmas. David stayed home to watch the babe, while Lisa and I caught the early BoltBus for NYC.

Once in New York we enjoyed some Kati Rolls before the show. The Chicken Roll is much better than the Aloo Masala Roll, plus its easier to order. Both were spicy and delicous.


We managed to stay warm despite the low tempatures and wind.


Those Rockettes can sure kick!


After the show we saw the Christmas tree and window displays before catching the late bus back to D.C.


It was so much fun. David had a good time with Leah, and he even painted our bathroom with his Dad while I was gone. What a great start to 2010.
