Grandpa John & Cindy

Grandpa John and Cindy came from Minnesota to thaw out for a weekend.  Minnesota is experiencing epic cold temperatures this winter and we are getting warmer than usual temps.  It's just not fair, is it?

Christmas in San Diego

 Cookies and milk for Santa.  Celery for his reindeer.

Daycare Christmas Party

We love our daycare!  Once again this year, the kids got to enjoy train rides and gifts from Santa.

Camille wanted nothing to do with Santa...even if it meant getting a present.

Christmas...the beginning of a month long holiday...

Grandpa Don & Grandma Dianne came for an early Christmas with the kids at the beginning of December.
We got to enjoy beach/outdoor time before they had to head back to their chilly winter.

Christmas cookies with Grandma!!

Poor Grandma, she shipped her Christmas gifts to California a week before Thanksgiving and USPS still has not delivered them, nearly a month later.  The good news is that she had 1 gift for each kid sent directly from the retailer, so they had something to open.  And quite honestly, they were so thrilled with those gifts that they didn't miss opening more.  Looks like we'll be having another Christmas when the carton finally arrives...these kids are going to think Christmas is a year round thing...

And here is a picture of our sweet little angels:

Thanksgiving 2013

Connor came down with Croup the day before Thanksgiving.  So, we ended-up at the grocery store on Wednesday evening buying all the fixings for Daddy's last minute dinner at home instead of dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's.

Camille was really excited about her turkey dinner.

Daddy and Camille went to San Diego on Friday to see GG while Connor and Mommy stayed home and rested...pj's and Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3.
We also spent hours painting.

Despite being sick and having to change our plans, we have so much to be thankful for this year!
