California Adventures: 3rd Edition

We are partying it up rockstar style here in California.

Everyday is a trip to the beach. Jealous, much?

California Adventures: 2nd Edition

Life is treating us good here in California.

We tried the beach again. The picture below shows how close we got to the water. So Chris and I spent a little one on one time with our favorite big girl and eventually convinced her that the water is not scary.We also found out that we must have been good this year. Santa sure found us and made some little girls really happy.

Christmas day we spent enjoying the nice weather and going for a walk as a family.

Today we went and learned about all the fishes at the aquarium. Hunt loved it and eventually turned into a fish herself.
Definitley the best part of being in California has been the sun. Hunt is loving playing outside as much as possible.

And Paisley is having fun snoozing away.

Merry Christmas!!!

More to come soon but these just couldn't wait.

California Adventures: 1st Edition

Last night we went and looked at Christmas lights. It was really unusual. Typically when we look at Christmas lights we drive around in the car with the heater on high and the seat warmers on looking at lights glowing in the snow. This year we put on a light jacket and walked around the streets.

Weird but quite enjoyable.

Afterwards I had a nice cup of chocolate, not to warm up my insides but just to keep with tradition.

Hunt was even excited to see her favorite Dora and Diego join the festivites but to obsessesed with all the other lights to take a picture with them.

Side note: Nini only has one episode of Dora on her "on demand" and we've all seen Dora's Christmas Adventure 198308092 times. No joke. At least that dang Swiper finally learns to stop swiping.

Today we went and checked out the local wildlife. Huntley couldn't wait to see seals and pengos and the seals did not disappoint.

We saw lots.

The down side of seeing lots of whales was finding out Hunt is TERRIFIED of the ocean and screamed that it was going to get her the whole time.

That sure puts a damper on our plans for the rest of the trip.

Family....its about time!

At least it's about time Paisley met her family. We are spending the holidays with chris's family this year and it has been over two years since we've been home. Huntley was practically a baby last time we visited and is having a great time showing baby Pais off.

Huntelina ballerina

Tonight was Huntleys dance recital. She almost missed her debut as a ballerina due to a last minute potty break but overall she did pretty good up on the big stage. All those hours of practicing while watching Angelina ballerina paid off.

Rudolph

The other day we decided to venture out to Thanksgiving Point since we heard Rudolph and his mommy were living out there until Christmas. We went during the day, when it was sunny and warm but apparently Rudolph sleeps all day long and is only available to be seen when it's dark. This made for one mad little girl who insisted that it was light and Rudolph should wake up. Dad came to the rescue and made Huntley happy by taking her to shoot guns and feed fish at Cabelas.
Poor Paisley got stuck sitting in her seat and couldn't participate. You can tell she wasn't thrilled about that.
