Friday before Christmas Scott and Parker got picked up by Mimi, Papa, and Aunt Charlotte for breakfast out then cookie baking at Mimi's. Owen didn't get to go this year but he did get to enjoy the fruits of their labor:
And I'm pretty sure he is already excited to go help out next year.
What have we been doing since Christmas? Toys. SO.MANY.TOYS.
We also got the gift of a getting to pick out a new tent (we've really out grown ours!). We stopped on our way up for dinner at Mimi and Papa's one night to browse and see what we wanted. And there is no better place for hide and seek than REI:
That night we ended up hearing about the REI "garage sale" that was happening the next day. So Brian headed back bright and early to get in line for the deals (thanks honey, your the best!). Well he scored big time and came home with this beauty for over 60% off.
We are itching for our next camping trip to try this bad boy out...
These are pre Christmas but I had to include them:
Reading stories one evening with Mimi, Papa, and "Mimi's Sister".
We celebrated our friend Kason's first birthday where I got this adorable picture. I wish I had pictures of the rest of the decor but I don't. If this hand made penguin is any indication then you can get the idea. A winter wonderland of cuteness.
Crafting….sometimes it comes with bribes to get things made for Christmas. I'm not above that.
NYE walk in the neighborhood:
We had a mellow to the max NYE which included bed by 7:30 for the boys and 10 for the parents. Party people. I went to bed feeling thankful that we didn't end this year with wrist surgery and recovery like we did last year. Brian went to the Rose Bowl game on the first and had a great time and we enjoyed the company of more family for a few days, but other than that we just took it easy…and it was awesome.
