Road Trip continued

While in Idaho we stopped by my sister Andrea's and Syd & GG got spoiled with attention from all their sweet cousins there.

Then onto Logan Ut, where Syd made her first snowman
and got some quality time with more cousins. Sara&Andrew

GG chilling in front of the fire

We took the kids ice-skating and they were all so excited,
but once on the ice Syd got a little nervous
From there it was down SLC and Provo for lots of parties, presents and both our parents. Here I am with a few of my sister-in-laws at our father-in-laws birthday breakfast.

Winter wonderland

In mid December we visited with our good friends Tina and Greg in beautiful McCall, ID. We had so much fun and the girls loved hanging out with some of their favorite people. It snowed almost the whole time we were there. It was the perfect place to make it really seem like Christmastime for us Californians.

Here are the girls all bundled up in their snow gear. Poor GG could barely move, but she was warm!

Tina took Syd for her first sled ride

We spent some great time out in the snow

and a lot of time cozied up in the cabin by a roaring fire

What a perfect trip, thanks Tina and Greggy!

November fun

I know it's January, but I'm a little behind. Here are some of the fun things we did back in November.Fun with fall leaves and beautiful weather.

The fam at a Stanford game
I went with Sydney's preschool field trip to dear hollow farm. We were allowed backstage access to lots of the animals, but as you can see by the look on her face, it made Syd nervous to be so close.
GG becomes a Daddy groupie-loves to hear him play
Pete's parents came to visit and spoil the kids. Syd and Pam making a gingerbread house
riding a giant tortoise at the Cal Academy

Day hike

We went on a gorgeous hike in Portola Valley with our friends the Bankheads. Beautiful views, a huge swing hanging from an ancient oak tree,
it was all fun and games until we got home with poison oak!

Big girls

My girls are growing up so fast! Here are some fun pics, I love the one of them in the leaves. Can they get any cuter?

Home with the fam

I took the girls to Utah for a quick visit in early November. GG loved being held by everyone and Syd had so much fun with her cousins and grandparents.

Weekend on the Coast

We got to spend time in Bolinas with some of our favorite people the Tanners and Petersons. With three two-year olds and two new-borns we didn't get a lot of sleep, but had a lot of fun.

We found the three girls around back on the porch in these chairs like they were posing

Hiking and hanging out in the barn at Point Reyes
