Other stuff that happened a long time ago

We celebrated the New Year by building a ginger bread house. Zeke was so excited about this, but did not see the humor in the fact that the house fell apart immediately after we finished putting it together. He was also pretty traumatized when Jeff started eating the roof.

 We spent some time at the Arboretum. Collecting sticks and practicing our awesome lightsaber moves.

We also enjoyed a few rainy days (one of which was spent with our wonderful friend, Eli).



Merry Christmas! (wait...what?)

I know. What the heck happened? The truth is, I'm not sure. We had some technical difficulties, we got a little behind, and then it all just seemed super overwhelming to try to catch up. Well, with a husband surfing the warm waters of Central America, I have nothing but time. I also found new motivation to blog when I realized I can do this.

 Merry Christmas morning!!



Christmas fun with cousins!



Poor Sawyer. Love hurts.



They LOVED making Christmas cookies for our neighbors. (I know, these pictures are the reason Courtney doesn't eat Christmas cookies from neighbors.) 



Our plan for beating the after-Christmas blues was a visit to the San Diego Safari Park.

Totally worn out after three days of Christmas fun.
