Tis' The Season

LOTS OF PICTURES FROM OVER THE HOLIDAYS....

HANGING OUT


Karma trying to stay warm on a cold rainy day!

Spending time with the boys shooting guns

Birch Street after seeing the Squeekquil!



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

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!

The Bee Keeper and his Bee's


A Witch with a Bee





Momma Karen dressed as a Clown









Kitty Cat Layne is so cute....

...But SO attached to Karen its hard to hold her when she's around!

Trick-or-Treat

Landen refuses to take pictures so I just tickled him until he smiled..well kinda smiled




We had 4 adults walking down the streets in full costume with only 1 year old Layne...people were staring!





You're never too old to trick-or-treat


We caught an extra bee










We had a great time, thanks Nicole and Royal for having us over! Thanks Mom for sewing my tutu and helping me get everything togerther last minute!! 

And of coarse thanks to Abbey and Landen for sharing some of their treats :)

BRAZIL PART 5: RIO DE JANIERO


Impanema Beach

The bug bites I got the last day in the Amazon...I have NO CLUE what bit me but it definitely got me good! I was really sick the whole time in Rio with body aches, high fever, soar throat and just didn't feel good. This was the day after, they got much much worse and took about 2 weeks to go away!
