Here they are with Santa!

We had a VERY Merry Christmas! This year we stayed in the Valley, no traveling for us. It's been unseasonably cool in the Valley this year so it almost felt like Christmas. The kids got lots of gifts and Baby Ian had a really nice first Christmas.

Wow, She Grew Up Fast!

It's hard to believe that Annabelle is seven! Wow, where did the time go? Annabelle decided she wanted a small party this year with just a few friends at a local pot painting studio called Artsy Pots. The kids had a great time painting and we all went to McDonald's afterwards for Happy Meals and fun at the McDonald's play land. All in all I think Annabelle had a fantastic 7th birthday.
