Disneyland!

I had been wanting to go to Disneyland for the last couple years, and we finally made it!  We surprised the kids and left Palm Springs a couple days early to head over to LA.  We didn't tell them where we were going, and had them guess in the car.  Will guessed Disneyland, but Grace didn't think so:).  I don't think any of them realized it was close enough to drive to:). We were all excited for our adventure, and it did not disappoint!

December. . . .

We started the holiday season off with a trip to the Watt House for their annual Christmas tree lighting, and visit from Santa.  It was really fun, and the kids even got their picture in the paper!

I love when the tree and decorations are up! 

The kids had fun sledding with Annie down the hill right near our house.

GRACE IS 7!!!

We went to Chuck e cheese to celebrate Grace's birthday with a few of her friends from school.  Everyone had a great time!  Even Pat and I were surprised how relaxing it was to chat with the other parents while everything was taken care of!! 

Making purele frosted cupakes with sprinkles for her party! 

And celebrating with family on her actual birthday a couple days later! 

Christmas Pageant

Emily and Grace were shepherds in the school pageant! 

COLUSA  FOR CHRISTMAS! 

Their loot on Christmas morning:). 

Will bough antlers for Annie for Christmas:). 

Professional pics by Hayley! Her pictures turned out so great!

We made a kindness tree this year where each kid had to write something they did that was kind.  And every few days there would be a little prize! It was great!
