Christmas - 2011


For Christmas we stopped in PA on the way to my parents house so that Gma Stryker (Oliva) could meet the girls for the first time. She was so thrilled to see them and she kept saying that she must be dreaming. She was worried that she was not going to get to meet them. She is 99 after all! What great genes!



Both girls travelled very well to NY for Christmas! They both slept the majority of the way up and back. Jim picked out their Christmas dresses and they were adorable with the "Santa" look. They both had Christmas hats as well. Kira was very excited to watch Nana open up her gifts and she seemed very interested. The next day Alana was more into Christmas as Jim opened up her presents for her. She would reach up for the dangling paper and try to stuff it in her mouth. Jim gave me a super thoughtful gift this Christmas. He took our blog updates and made a book!! What a super idea.

Super cute Christmas dresses. Joy with Kira and Jim with Alana


Jim & I had a photo shoot with the girls for our Christmas cards and they were super cute.

Jim was sick again on Christmas and Alana was getting over her cold. Poor Kira got it in NY as well. We have been super lucky though as this winter so far Alana has only had 2 colds and Kira just 1. They have not had to miss day care even once - our little troopers!!


We had a great Christmas this year and as Jim said "We now have it all!"
