Holiday Recap

Holidays are too crazy for me to be able to keep up with the blog, so I'm starting again and hopefully I can get back to where I was so all the family and friends can know whats going on over here in CA. So get ready for a ton of pictures all about how awesome our holidays were!

After Halloween my grandparents, aunt, and cousin came and we all went to Disneyland! We love it there and love being able to go all the time! Jack gets a little freaked out on some rides, but at the end he usually says that he liked it :)





We went to AZ for Thanksgiving and had so much fun! We got to play with cousins!


Go for a ride on a horse

Play with more cousins inside a bouncy castle!

and Jack was loving baby Truly! I got to steal that little girl a lot over the holidays and I loved every second of it!


Then it took us 7 hours to get home because of crazy traffic! I don't know if you can tell, but we were all stopped and people were getting out of their cars just hanging out in the middle of nowhere!


Then three weeks later we went back to AZ for Christmas! That's when Jack learned how to take his clothes off :) He's going to be mad at me one day for posting this on the blog...

Adair Christmas party singing jingle bells with all the cousins. It was Jack's favorite Christmas song of the year. I'll have to post a video of him singing it.

Temple lights on Christmas Eve. One of my favorite traditions


Christmas morning! Jack did like opening presents, but we were just so tired from waking up early and our camera ran out of batteries so I only have tired pictures. We'll do better next year of capturing the moment


After the holidays the cousins came to visit and we had so much fun with them! We had another fun filled week of Disneyland!

Marshall took me to the fashion district for one of my Christmas presents and I fell in love with that place! I've already been back with all my friends and we can't wait to go again!

This week I was having beach withdrawals so I took Jack the other day and it was so nice! I love the beach and since Christmas is over I just want it to be summer so I can go all the time! We made some sand castles.

Lounged around.

The tide goes out really far in the winter so we got to walk around the wet sand a lot more than you normally would.

Jack got really sandy

So he ended up going barefoot

The birds at the beach are crazy scavengers and when we went back to our bag to get some more graham crackers the whole pack was gone and there wasn't even a crumb left. They were sicking close to Jack whenever he had food in his hand in case he dropped anything.

The coolest part was because the tide was so far out we were able to see starfish! There were tons of them! Jack kept calling the fish stars:)

i'm glad you finally went to the fashion district! it's amazing. the beach looks so calm & peaceful when it's not totally crowded like it is in the summer- so pretty!

p.s. jack singing jingle bells is one of my favorite things ever.

I love this post! Jack is so big! You are such a cute little family I love it. We really have got to visit one of these days and play at the beach. Maybe Koli and Jack would hit if off haha what if they dated later in life that would be the cutest thing ever. Miss you!
