Holidays '10

Santa comes to the beach every year and it's the best way to see him. The line is not long & it's quick and easy. The kids didn't have time to be scared! Lily froze like Ralphie and eventually said, "I'd like an Ariel dress, please." Ben said he wanted Lincoln Logs. Santa delivered :)

This was the only picture I got from Candy Cane Lane. The lights were great & one house was playing Ralphie on their wall!

Ben's school Holiday party. Check out that sweater!

It looks just like Papa Mustache's reindeer sweater!

And the holidays begin!

With the boat parade!

And Santa on a fire truck?!?! Ben's in heaven!

Lily's school in the Holiday parade (in 80 degree weather)

Guess who learned to spell his name :)

Just some stuff

At yet another birthday party......it was really fun though!

This is how my children dress to go on a hike.

David O was in LA when Notre Dame played (BEAT) USC. We got to have brunch with him and Lily was just smitten. She does watch for him on tv during the games, so he's kind of a superstar. (she did call him uncle Brian a few times though)

Ben has been drawing lately and he gives momma all of his pictures :)

Dennis the menace

Wish Garden

Wow. I've done it again. Gotten WAY behind on the story of us. Sorry Lily & Ben. At least you'll have this in book form some day....just don't pay attention to the dates! (or the typos)

Anyway~

Matt, Ben and I went to Lily's school to help plant her class garden. Hoping to harvest soon!

Lily, Makaela and the caterpillar

The caterpillar mysteriously reappeared for each group :)

Kendi is hilarious! He didn't like the caterpillar, but Miranda did!
