Chloe turns ONE!

It's been a big week for Chloe! She turned the big ONE on January 20th, and on Sunday we had a big celebration for her at Arlene's. I thought about doing it at our place, but it defintely would have been too crowded! A very BIG thanks to Arlene (Grandma Koga) for hosting the party!!

Merry Christmas!

Chloe's first Christmas was so much fun for everyone! She didn't really know what was going on - but she liked tearing at the paper, and she sure loved the Christmas tree with all the lights and decorations. I am looking forward to the years ahead, for I'm sure that it gets more and more magical every year!

So sorry for not posting in the last little while. We've been camera-less for the past few weeks. Hoping to get it back soon. Until then, please enjoy some random shots taken over the past few months that I didn't get around to posting before. Hope everyone is looking forward to the holidays! We put our tree up last night and Chloe is amazed at all the lights!!!
