Cookie Party!

My pal Crystal held a holiday cookie decorating party at her house last week for the kiddos. We had so much fun! We even laid out all of the babies for a baby snowflake picture. (Paloma, Madison, Charlie and Alexzander) Thanks for the good time Crystal!

Christmas Card Photo Shoot

My dear friend offered to take some pictures of the kids for our Christmas cards this year. Here are some of the (unedited) ones we had to choose from as well as some of Paloma and Madi together. Enjoy!

ALL GONE!

The "house" across the street has been vacant since we moved here over 2 years sgo. The day we had been waiting for finally came...on Saturday December 20th we woke up to the most wonderful noise ever...





...the crash of it getting knocked over for good! Yippie!

Another VIsit With Santa!

We attended the annual Christmas Celebration at our friends house this last weekend. It is always so much fun. There were well over 50 people there which made for a great time. After a huge dinner with all of the fixings...there was a loud noise coming from the roof! All of the kids got sooo excited!



It had to be Santa! Sure enough, there was a knock at the door and in came Santa himself with a huge bag of presents for all of the kiddos! (provided by parents of course)



Nicolas was beside himself with excitement!



Santa redeemed himself and Nicolas made out with the Pirate Ship he has been longing for.



Yeah Santa!

My Birthday

For my birthday my parents came to visit and took us all out to dinner at the Madonna Inn. Nicolas loved looking at all the beautifully decorated cakes and all of the other amazing decorations. Thanks mom & dad for a wonderful birthday celebration!

Even the giant olives he got with his dinner were a big hit!

Picture Update

I realized I have a bunch of pictures on my phone that I haven't shared with all of you yet. So here they are!

Santa!

We went to go visit Santa last weekend. Nicolas was SO excited...he was squealing. Last year he wanted NOTHING to do with Santa. I wasn't sure what to expect.

Since there wasn't a line...we visited him 3 times.

1st time: Santa asked if he wanted to sit on his lap. Nicolas, "No thank you, that won't be necessary." Nicolas then proceeded to whisper what he wanted so I could tell Santa for him. No candy cane desired.

2nd time: needed the previously turned down candy cane. Decided he wanted to give Santa a hug.

3rd time: Felt it was necessary to remind Santa himself what he wanted.

What a cutie! Maybe next time he will pose for a picture WITH Santa!

Growing Up So Fast!

Just like his daddy...Nicolas told me he wants a motorcycle so he can go fast! Ugh!

Popsicles make everything better!

Kai and Nicolas were busy fighting over who was going to play with Gordan and who was going to play with Thomas (trains) Introduce popsicles and all is better. :)

Cayucos Pier with Eva

Here are some pictures of the extra windy day we went to the pier. The waves were spraying water on us all the way up on the pier. Even thought the trip was short lived, it was still fun!
