Christmas 2013

The kids wanted to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Idaho so we had to split it up a bit. 

We gave our presents to them on Christmas Eve Eve seeing how we can't travel with them all. Then Santa brought them his gifts in Idaho.

 Early Christmas in California

Christmas Morning in Idaho

 We buy Legos for our kids and end up being the ones who put most of them together.

Family Photos

For the first time in our 8 years of marriage we had professional family photos taken.

My sweet and very talented friend angiewhitakerphotography.com took our photos. 

We are thrilled to have them.

Thanksgiving 2013

Grandpa and Grandma Belnap and uncle Andrew spent Thanksgiving in California.

We loved hosting them at our house for the holiday.

Finley learned how to bake pies.

The kids did some art with Grandpa.

 The boys spent hours building amazing Lego creations.

 We enjoyed some beautiful weather

and even spent a day at the beach exploring tide pools.

We also celebrated Crew's 7th Birthday with a movie, dinner and a family party.
