Christmas in CA part 1

Denis the Menace Park...this park is amazing. The kids had so much fun playing there!






Nothing like a walk with the boys on scooters along the coast after playing at the park.

Christmas has begun at our house

We decorate our tree every year on the day after Thanksgiving. This is the first year we haven't gone to Fred Meyer to get our tree. Why you ask...because we have a "fake" tree this year. I got it last year at Target on clearance. We actually have 2 "fake" tree this year. We have a kid tree and a family tree. More pictures to follow. I'm still getting used to the idea of having a fake tree.

Thanksgiving 2011

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My mom & dad joined us for Thanksgiving. As well a family friend from church Frank joined us. Graham & Ali were with us for a while before they headed over to Graham's family celebration.

November Snow

We had a little snow last weekend. The kids had fun playing in the snow!

Our Halloween picture. Ethan decided to switch his costume before we went trick-or-treating. It's a good thing I had bought these last fall after Halloween for 75% off because it was no big deal for him to switch his costume.
