The 10th was on Saturday, so here is a sneak peek of our day.
Starting the day off with coffee by the Christmas tree.

It rained ALL day. I loved it!! We aren't in a severe drought anymore, but we still need rain!
We headed to see Santa.....no tears anymore...they love Santa!
Do you see how long the girls hair is? They haven't gotten it cut in over a year. They are growing it out for Locks of Love (or Pantene's Program) This was Kate's idea...they need 8 inches to donate, so we are hoping it is long enough by this Spring.
Our Santa is the real Santa....as he was saying goodbye to the kids he told them that our elf had reported that they had been fighting a little bit & that they need to eat more vegetables (I literally had to remind my kids last night to get along better & eat more well balanced meals) The look on my kids faces (and mine!!) were priceless. We believe!
After we saw Santa we went to our favorite Bagel Shop to get bagels for lunch.
Our favorite is the pink bagels....they were one of the only things I could keep down when I was pregnant with all 3 kids, so it's no surprise that they like them now.
Then Kate helped me put stamps on our Christmas cards.
Headed to the post office to drop off all the cards....200+ cards signed, sealed & delivered! Phew!
Whenever it rains, I wear my rain boots {HERE}
California in December means that our leaves are finally turning colors & falling off trees.
We went to the Saturday night church service, we love going to church on Saturday evenings, especially in the fall/winter.
We came home and had dinner...my homemade spaghetti sauce had been simmering on the stove all day. YUM!
After dinner, we watched a family movie....we introduced our kids to one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. I've waited years for this moment.
They all loved it & we will be watching Home Alone 2 this week :)

After the movie it was bedtime, but the kids wanted to show us their Christmas dance that they have been working on for a few days. Kate choreographed the entire thing. I love their creativity.
It was a great 10th!
Hope you also had a great weekend!

Thanksgiving 2016
I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! Where does the time go? We were in Iowa and had a great time with family and friends. Here are some fun pictures from our long weekend. :)
Lots of good Bubble Guppies watching with Papa! And my parents scary cat Willy that tries to kill of us...
Bradley grabbed this cordless phone and said "Hello? School Bus? Watch TV?" I died laughing!
Bradley requested "double hugs" from Papa and Grandma! :)
Train ride! He had to go twice.
Hanging out with Great Papa and Great Gram.
Thanksgiving Day! I posted on Instagram about my love for all the plaids for holidays.
Bradley loved the rocking horses at Thanksgiving! :)
Post turkey dinner snacks bath time with all the cousins! :) Lots of boys in our crew and somehow we got a pic with no body parts! :)
Baby Connor got out so the boys could really let the bubbles get big!
Then we all changed into our elf jammies!
Not ready...
As ready as we will be!
I always find good treasures at my parents house. Check out all of my old Sing Along Songs! Lots of good memories with friends watching these. :)
And lots of Disney classics!
Attacking Papa!
Now attacking Uncle Natey!
Concon loved the box of duplos. :)
Park time! Busted Uncle Jon on his phone.
Big Papa hugs.
Time to go home. Bradley was very distraught that I wouldn't give him Bubble Guppies because it was nap time. (For fellow paci discussers he gets his paci for bedtime and naps still). :)
We always love seeing the cousins and can't wait to see them super soon! I hope everyone had a great holiday!
