Christmas is NOT over!

That's what liv said.

Whether Christian and celebrating the 12 days of Christmas(epiphany) or pagan and celebrating the 12 days of Yule- she is correct!

The holiday spirit has NOT left our house, in any matter.

We put together some Christmas present puzzles... By twinkling lights...



Emers and his beloved birthday gift...





Hung the last of our cards...


Emers took his first nap not in my arms(or carrier)!!!! This is a seriously liberating thing here.


Ira playin with her faeries....


Then when Jared got home he got sucked into a puzzle with the girls....


Even when the girls moved on to sticker gingerbread houses... He pressed on.











His masterpiece....


The girls gingerbread houses...


We read a few of these stories, watched the grinch who stole Christmas and went to bed. Good day all around.

Drew castles...


Hung out...

















Looking at waterfalls...

Ballerina Ira...





Emers really wants to be a ballerina too...





I had a feeling that loose tooth might fall out soon....


By the next morning it was so loos she pushed if right out with her tongue!


We hit the park with the new slackline. So much harder than it looks. So much fun too.








New razors....

First Birthday at the Beach

My littlest is no longer a "baby"!

He turned one today!!!!!!!


Emers was all smiles this morning....





He is in love with his new tent...


And stacker....


And his first little people truck from his aunt in Michigan!


And popcorn....





After a bath, he played some more...





Walked to lunch at chipotle...


Then drove to the beach...











It was a GOOD day!!!!!
