Mountain High

We went to Mountain High today with some friends and family. We took CJ tubing and he loved it. We also had fun playing in the snow. It was freezing cold, it was about 37 deg. We could never live in the snow because we are such wimps. CJ looked like the kid from a Christmas story. It was funny. We got home in enough time for JB to surf, that is one of the cool things about living in California. Snow in the morning, surf in the afternoon.









Maile was happy to finally be in a warm fuzzy blanket!

Christmas

I can't believe how fast Christmas came and went. We had a wonderful Christmas season. It was so much fun to spend it with friends and family that we love so much. Christmas Eve we spent at my parents home in SC. My brothers, and husband love to play guitar. Baby M especially enjoyed the music. CJ's favorite toy he got that night was a ball that you sit on and bounce. There is a picture of him unwrapping it. He was so excited to see what was in this huge round package. Christmas day we spent it with the B's. CJ loved spending the day with his fun, older cousins.



Christmas morning.




Some of the favorite gifts included the stroller and baby for baby sis, the Tonka garbage truck for CJ, and the remote control helicopter Dad. I loved the ipod touch that Santa surprised me with:)

Miss B. Turns 1!


Baby M turned 1 on December 17th. She had so much fun with her friends and family. She loved opening all of her presents and hanging out with all of her cousins and friends.









M had just as much interest in the wrapping paper and boxes as she did with the new toys she received.


Newport Beach Boat Parade

We had so much fun a couple of weeks ago when we went to the boat parade in Newport beach. We went on the Yakety Yak Yacht and cruised around the harbor.

Construction Zone

Here are some semi-recent photos of the HB house. We can't wait for it to be finished. It will probably be done in June or July.

Candy Cane Festival

In SC they had a candy cane festival with reindeer, snow, Santa, music, games, and crafts. CJ had so much fun sledding down the snow. It was his first time seeing it. Maile loved seeing the reindeer and the lama. But my kids did not want to get to close to Santa. The big red suit just terrifies them!
