Christmas Time

Just a few more pictures for those of you who still follow my blog. We finally got our tree yesterday. We were searching in between rain downpours, and timed it fairly well. We had to stop for lunch between place 1 and place 2 and it was just barely drizzling when we looked at the second place. After we got it home it started to come down pretty good. We even had a VERY LOUD and startling thunder and lightning crash around 12:30 this morning. It sounded very much like a gunshot (very loud) and I would have been concerned if I hadn't seen the end of the lightning flash.




This morning I even managed to get Sarah's hair into a ponytail. She's been letting me play with it a little bit more each day. I put it in a ponytail and she tried to hide while Rob was attempting to take pictures. It was very cute. Oh, and did you notice that Sarah helped us decorate the tree in her bathing suit? That's her favorite outfit these days. Go figure. Happy Holidays everyone.

Thanksgiving weekend

We went to visit my parents for Thanksgiving this year, just like we do every year. The kids had a blast visiting their grandparents as usual and we enjoyed a great thanksgiving meal. After that we ventured on to Santa Cruz to camp at the beach. The kids enjoyed playing in the water, Hunter more so than Sarah who fell down once and requested to go back to the RV for the rest of the morning.

We then went to the beach boardwalk for a little bit. We played some games in the arcade for a while and then walked around. We all went on the carousel and the kids seemed to have a good time. I got a little queazy standing backwards and capturing video and stills of Sarah but it was worth it. They also rode the little helicopter ride and that was enough for them.

On the ride home they were both quite entertained with their technological babysitters. Even Sarah is starting to play and enjoy video games.

This morning when Rob went in to give Sarah a kiss goodbye he found only a foot peeking out of the covers. We eventually stopped laughing long enough to get the camera, take some pictures, and find her head. It was a great way to start our day.
