Thankful

We have SO much to be thankful for: family, friends, health, weather, food, fun. The list goes on and on.

Things have been going really well here in paradise! E and El are sprouting more and more each day. I still cannot wrap my head around some of the things that come out of their mouths. It's almost like talking to adults....almost.

Buds for life (hopefully)!

Enjoying some post dinner dessert at Hapa's

An ol' man just sipping on his hot chocolate!

Helmets required when washing cars apparently!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our "West Coast Family." A delicious meal shared with some amazing people! Before the feast, we got our trot on at the 2nd Stroller Warriors Turkey Trot. It was a fantastic morning, with my favorite being the kids' fun run - again!

Cranky was in the house for a little bit!

Grumpy showed up too!

Sarah? Are you coming? I want to run with you!

It was clear that these guys did not care about the paparazzi in the house.
I, on the other hand, seek them out!!

Happy Trotting!

The family that runs together....has fun together!
Right? Absolutely!!

Warming up before the kids run!

Gooooooooo.........

oooooooooooooooo!

Such seriousness!

Showing off her bling!!

Getting our cook on!!

What a feast!!
Thank you for hosting, Sarah!

We did it! We finally took a family photo on Thanksgiving!!

 

Well....they're at least all looking!
Hi, Nana!

Decorating the house was pushed back this year. Though it's usually the Friday after Thanksgiving adventure, the day got away from us. Saturday we picked out the tree & decorated the outside of the house. Sunday was all about the inside!

It's Christmas tree selection day!

Making our Advent wreath after Mass on Sunday. 

El LOVED hanging ornaments. We have the cluster to prove it.
E on the other than, was not so into it. He enjoyed watching!

Helping daddy with the final touch!

Wahoo, it works!!

What a good looking tree...and a couple cuties too!

It was a long morning, apparently!

Wishing you a joyous & healthy Christmas season!
