Snow Play

Keils took to the local mountains to try out the sleds and mini skiis.  Grandpa, Grandma Betty and Audrey joined us for an adventurous morning.  Where else can you hit the beach and the snow?  It was so fun.  Let's do it again!

Happy family

We've been addressing her as Rudolph for sometime now.....

Christmas Eve

Photos from Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma Betty's:

Watching a movie (I think Audrey probably slept with her helmet and skates on)

Practicing inline

Buddies

Reading with Grandpa

What to you mean he's closed?

Try explaining that we got you all dressed up to take a Santa photo, and he's not there??

Livy said because he was with the reindeer getting ready for Christmas.

As always, we made the best of it.

Zoo w/Em

Em and Livy had a great time at the Santa Ana Zoo - riding the train, feeding goats and playing on the gym (until someone had an "accident" and Mom rushed them out of there).

Pics- enjoy!

Nite Nite Selah

Baby Selah is very patient with her big cousin Livy. Selah is in town with her parents and Jade. We went to visit them at Grammie's tonight.

Livy tried to help Baby Selah get to sleep, and may now have some insight how I feel when she won't go down right away....Livy reckons a bottle and a lullaby will do the trick.

It's working???!?

Oh well, we better let Mommy try.  Thanks for your patience -we appreciate you! XOXO

Christmas Colds - BOO

We caught it.  Think we're coming thru the other side.............

So Many Lights

Kayla, Riley and Livy 

Naples Canals in Long Beach has some of the best Christmas Lights on display.  The houses are right on the water so you can see them from the pathway or from a Duffy.  We walked the canals Friday night with the Ameli Family (congrats on baby #3 on the way!).  What a fun time, really gets you in the spirit.

Won't take it off

Livy's been doing well at gymnastics -waiting her turn, listening to Miss Cindy - so today she got to pick out any leotard in their shop.  TA DA - she won't take it off.

Livy's newest hobby is taking photos - finally someone to take photos of our knees! :)

South Coast Santa Trip

All dressed up and no Santa pic to show...unfortunately DOES NOT LIKE SANTA AND WILL NOT GO NEAR HIM.  Still had fun with buddies Shane and Parker.

Tree Hunters

To the Peltzer tree farm in Irvine for annual hunt.  The trees don't move, so it makes it easy to catch one.  This year's is a doozy.  Photos of the hunt and tree (photo credit: Olivia) below:
