Because we are so lucky to have our adorable Evie, we did a Christmas card this year and mailed them out to family before we left for our North Carolina Christmas.
(Woot woot!)
We just had to show pictures of our sweet girl :)
Unfortunately, we are still poor students and our budget only allowed us to send our cards to family, but we wanted to wish all our friends Happy Holidays as well so...
Happy Holidays from San Francisco!
Here is a brief summary of 2012...
Our sweet Miss Evie Mae just turned one on December 3rd. This year has been so fun to see her experience everything for the first time. She is crawling everywhere, can stand up by herself, but is taking her sweet little time before she takes those first steps, which we are perfectly happy about
Evangeline has grown up fast and wants to do everything her mama and dada are doing. Jeff calls her a good “Lil’ Mama” because some of her favorite things to do are rocking, feeding, hugging, kissing, or singing (“Ahh”) to her baby dolls. She also is an avid reader of any book or magazine; however, she is partial to Paula Deen magazine and is especially interested in her dada’s business books lately.
While she does love singing along to Frosty the Snowman (“bump bump”) and she still loves her Kindermusik songs, Evie has also become very fond of her dada’s music, Mumford and Sons and Fun., and loves to dance/sing to them.
Evangeline is also a huge talker! We won’t list everything, but our favorites are “Dada bye-bye,” “cheese,” “the baby,” “wa wa ba ba” (water bottle), and “num num num num” (yummy).
If you were reading this and wondering why I was only talking about Evie then my job of capturing 2012 in a nutshell is done. It was the year of Evie. But for the few of you that want to still know about Jeff and me, please read on.
Jeff thinks he is really a dentist since he started seeing patients in UCSF’s dental clinic this year. And maybe he is since he has given me an exam and a cleaning. I was told to stay away from the candy canes
And me…well I’ve been loving being a mama to the most fun baby in the world, which I feel sums up my year quite nicely.
Love,
Jeffrey, Whitney, and Evangeline
...and Merry Christmas from NC :)
Minus Natalie's family :(
Does the tree seem tall?
Well it is.
Twelve feet baby!
That's how we do it (in NC).
What a great childhood memory.
Had to get my fill...

Evangeline loved getting her Christmas pjs on Christmas Eve plus her Christmas socks...
This is how we lured Evangeline to her presents Christmas morning...
and it worked like a charm :)
And she loved opening presents again...
(she'd had a pre-Christmas Christmas in SF with Jeff's family. After her first birthday, her pre-Christmas, Christmas Eve at Nana's, Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's, and Christmas day, this girl has got the present opening thing down.)
but even a one-year-old knows that the bigger the better!
Can you tell I was tired?
Late night at Nana's.
and
Late night at Nana's.
and
Evangeline has loved seeing Nana!
What a Happy Christmas!
