Bursting with Tangerines

Our little tangerine tree in our backyard is the best little producer. This year it is bursting with delicious juicy tangerines. It is the constant snack in our home right now. The girls love climbing the tree to get them. Shay knocks them down and delia picks them up. Teamwork :)

Dinner with the Missionaries

Tonight we had the missionaries over for a nice night of conversation and dinner. We try to have them over monthly. The kids love when they come over... but tonight after 2 cupcakes delia got a little carried away and ended the night stripping down to her undies. Oh Delia we hope this naked phase ends soon...especially while company is over!

Cozy Time

After living in our home for almost 5 years now we finally used our fireplace for a real fire. I have always had candles as I didn't want the kids to get into the soot in the fireplace...but it has been SO COLD that the wait is over. All of us are loving the warmth and glow of our fireplace it makes it so COZY around here.

Christmas Hats

On this rainy day the girls got a little craft and decorated some santa hats with glitter glue. My girls love anything that has to do with glitter glue...especially Delia.

Encinitas Christmas Parade

My kids love going to the Encinitas Christmas Parade. It's kinda fun to check out the creativity of the different floats and the decoration of the bikes and cars. It is a festive way to kick off the holiday season.

Christmas Cards

Every year I love making our Christmas Cards. This is the process for this years card. Getting ready to make all 165 of them!
