Ho, Ho, Ho

Despite the madness of moving, Christmas has been in full blown effect over here. My goal of making Kyleen love Christmas as much as I do is working beautifully! Here is a snippet of the fun we have been managing to squeeze in. 
She got that star on there so perfectly on her first try!



Hot chocolate and Polar Express with daddy.


We visited "Santa's House" in Poway. This ridiculous couple that basically moves out of their house (mansion), decorates it as Santa's Village, and dresses up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus. There is free hot chocolate, cookies, and small toys for all of the kids. Kyleen loved every minute of it and did amazing with Santa. Worked out perfect that she could sit next to the big guy on his sled.

oh man. love him.





In love with this face and the look in her eyes as Santa talks to her.








Gingerbread house!


Merry Christmas!!!

It's official. We have landed. We are so happy to be in our new home. To say we've been busy is an understatement. We redid the floors in the whole house, new paint everywhere, and kitchen is still in the process of being remodeled. Even though it has been hectic it is so great to have a single story house where the house and great backyard are all free game for the kiddos to roam. Can't wait to have you all over! Here are a few before, and during pics. Hoping the "after" pics will be up soon!








A few updated pics...

Fall Fun

Our fall was packed with 2 trips to the pumpkin patch, trick or treating at Sea World, a trip back east with family, a camping trip, and of course Halloween and Thanksgiving!

Pumpkin Patch #1: Bates Nut Farm on what felt like the hottest day of the year. Boo.
