Holiday Cheer

We have been very busy hanging out in the snow, getting ready for Christmas and going to birthday parties. All happy things to be busy with. Here are a few pictures from our adventures.

We drove up to Palomar Mountain which is about an hour East from Fallbrook, CA. We have been getting so much rain / snow that we have been taking every opportunity to enjoy it. Here's a picture while we were driving. The trees were beautifully flocked with snow.

The ice on the trees looked like crystals when the sun hit it. It was crazy cold might I add.

We brought Bella with us for her first snow experience. She seemed to like it, but I couldn't really tell.

The girls can't seem to get enough of the snow. Look at their happy faces. The girls are asleep as I'm writing this, but they did not gently drift off to sleep tonight but rather tantrumed and cried until they passed out. That's what happens whenever they miss their mid-day nap. As you might guess, we try to avoid that as much as possible.

Looking at their cute happy faces makes me feel better after a night like this.

We took the girls to the Irvine Spectrum for some ice skating. It was their first time and they were all over it. I have to apologize, I only have pictures of Sahara. The camera batteries died before I could get any pictures of Maya. Bummer !


Here's Sahara going for it. She kept on insisting that her daddy let her "do it" on her own. So whenever he let go, she would start flailing on the ice. It was comedy.

Merry go round bliss with Sahara.



Sweet Maya smiles.


Here's our Christmas tree. The girls absolutely love decorating the tree. So we have been making a lot of decorations and are constantly adding to the tree. I will take a picture of the finished tree and share it with you later.


Here are the girls with their pet guinea pigs. They often pretend that they are the guinea pig mommies and are constantly cuddling them. It been a full time job for me though because I constantly need to supervise them so they don't love their guineas to death. Too much hugging and squeezing can be dangerous.


Here's Maya proudly showing off her baby.

We went to a birthday party at Air Time in San Diego where the girls got to play like crazy monkeys in their inflatable castles and obstacle courses. Here's a classic video of them in action.
