Tis' The Season

LOTS OF PICTURES FROM OVER THE HOLIDAYS....

HANGING OUT

CHRISTMAS PARTY

The Nativity...

Mary Joseph...and baby Jesus Trixie! 
(The real baby Jesus was Gracie, Trixie just tried to steal her spotlight) 
Also...the only reason this picture is in sepia is because of that stupid black line, this was the only way for the picture to come out and I thought it was a good one and kind of summed up how our attempt at a nativity went!

The Angels
Emma, Abbey, Sophie


The Wise Men
Jon, Ryan, Royal


The Cow
Logan, who was so not into this whole thing!



Sophie sharing her cute snowman that Karen made for all the kids


An intense game of Left, Right, Center

CHRISTMAS MORNING






Poor little Karma went into heat on Christmas Eve! So here she is a little traumatized in Gracie's onsie with her favorite present!

NEW YEAR'S EVE
The long awaited opening of Cafe Rio in Lake Forest, so amazing!!








Karma getting into the festivities


No one was in the New Year's spirit but Karen and Ashley were good sports and celebrated with me!

Cheers!


THE ROSE PARADE


Sadly my camera died during the parade so I only have a few..



Karen & Layne






Trying to get Landen to enjoy the parade!



Ryan and Abbey at the Grove




BIG BEAR ATTEMPT 2


Last year we tried to go sledding up in big bear and only made it half way up the mountain due to too much snow. This year, we made it less than half way up the mountain, it was 75 degrees out and taking about 4 hours to make it to the top! So maybe next time we'll actually make it up to Big Bear!!

Not wanting to turn around..


Trying to decide if we should..we were moving so slow that Ryan could get out of our car and stand on Royal and Nicole's to talk to them!


It was so hot and we were all in sledding gear!


Snack Time!

I need to get some of these pictures- I LOVED our nativity, even if the kids didn't!!! Oh, and can Karma stay in California with us when you move???

Susie said...

Oh, and I loved the hat you had on in Big Bear!
