Happy Holidays!

We drove up to Folsom this year to celebrate the holiday weekend with my parents. We ate lots of good food (crab and crepes are always a hit), escaped for a mini date night and went bowling.  We had planned to do a lot more but a huge storm was going through when we were there but we had a great time despite the weather!

With Mimene and Fanfan

Reading with Fanfan

Cuddling with Maya

We ran after Santa while doing some last minute shopping (I think he was back on his way to the North Pole at the time).  Zoe made it very clear that she wanted a "Cinderella princess bike."

So excited to open up presents!

Maddox loves to do everything his sister does

Yes, please.

 Bowling was a hit with everyone. Zoe's a natural, she got a few strikes in there!  Maddox just wanted to run after the ball down the lane.

We drove back home to Santa Babara on Christmas Eve and made it back slightly under 7 hours. The kids were really good despite being stuck in their car seats for so long.

 It was a great morning, watching the kids open up their presents and getting excited to see what Santa got them. Well, Zoe was excited.  Maddox just wanted to play with the paper and boxes.

Trying to decide which present to open next...

 

Santa didn't forget Maya!

I don't think Maya moved from this spot for a good 2 hours. She's not spoiled or anything ;)

Obsessed with the box.

Loving her princess barbies!

We went on a bike ride with our new bike trailer...I thought it'd be a lot easier than it actually was.  Looks like someone needs to hit the gym in the new year!

I can't get enough of these two faces.

Zoe tried out her new bike on the street - she loved it!

We had a couple of friends over for dinner and had too much fun sharing ridiculously funny stories.  Waiting for pictures to share...

 We hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!!
