December Snow

We've had a wild week of weather here in the Portland Metro area. These pictures were taken on the first day of snow, Sunday, December 14th.

Playing out in the snow with our neighborhood friends...

Daddy & Siena...Siena didn't move much (too bundled up & her boots are too big), but she sure laughed a lot watching the older kids play in the snow. We all had fun!

Siena turns 2!

Our "baby" turned 2 on December 5, 2008. We can hardly believe how quickly she is growing up. To celebrate her birthday, we had a toddler birthday party with 4 of her neighborhood friends. It was quick...11 am until 12:30...with free play, simple organized games and songs, a craft, lunch, a letter hunt (to find the party gift bags), and finally gifts. Siena enjoyed her friends and the activities.
The 3 of us...

Gift opening...lots of nice presents.

Siena doesn't look too happy here, but she really does love Haley & her mommy so much. The girls always have the best time together.

Later in the afternoon, when Siena woke up from her nap, she opened some family gifts...

For dinner, Siena wanted "fish" and rice. We also had broccoli and carrots, which she usually enjoys. Uncle Steve Filary came to help celebrate Siena's birthday, too.

Siena's BIG gift from Mommy & Dadd was a train table with tracks ready to go for her Thomas the Tank Engine (her absolute favorite toy!). Some of the table pieces were damaged, and so we weren't able to have it put together completely in time for her birthday, but the table top was ready to go! Fun! Siena was also thrilled to get a couple of friends for Thomas: Murdoch & Billy.

Some of these photos are slightly out of chronological order, but here they are...
Some of Siena's October artwork & crafts:

This tree was created by Siena and Haley (& Mommy):

Siena and Mommy visited Grandma and Grandpa Braley early in November, and then brought Grandma home with us for part of a week. Then Grandpa came up to get her and spend the weekend with us. It was nice to spend the week with them after being away for a couple of months.

Siena is on Mommy's OLD trike that Grandma had fixed up.

The Wiznerowicz Family was anticipating a Democratic win for the presidency on Election Day and were prepared for it with a celebration cake. :)

Let's try pigtails for once...and what a grin!

Siena LOVES to swing!

The 3 of us went to Zoo Lights on Thanksgiving weekend. It was fabulous!


We had Steve & Lori over for Thanksgiving dinner, and some neighborhood friends came to join us for dessert.
