Christmas Festivities

I really thought Nat would be good for her picture with santa, based on her previous holiday pictures (see Halloween). I was wrong.

Ugly sweater party.

Decorating the tree. Here the little trickster is trying to see what mom will do THIS TIME she tries to touch an ornament.

Lake Tahoe

So the week after Vegas and Utah we went to Lake Tahoe! We had lots of fun playing in the snow, sledding (Nat not so much), hot tubbing, playing games and snowboarding!

Here's the view from the state park that was down the road from our condo.

Family

Here's where we went sledding.

Katie and I at Heavenly Ski Resort. The most expensive resort I'll probably ever go to. But it was worth it- close, nice worker people, great/easy lifts and nobody there.

You can see the lake behind us (and Nathan and Chelsea!). I hadn't been snowboarding in like, 7 years and it was a lot of fun.

Thanks Nielsens and Fields for coming with us!

Dland number 2

How many can we fit in before Christmas? Another beautiful day in December.  Here's Nat on the carousel.

It's a small world.

LOVE this pic. Katie is a great photographer. Nat seems to not like the camera flash. It interrupted her dancing.

Hey pretty girls. Boo that we didn't take a group pic before katie left, but i'm sure we'll be back soon.

Vegas and Thanksgiving

The weekend before Thanksgiving we met up w/ my parents in Vegas. We had a great time hanging out! Nat loves g and g.

Here's the two loves of my life after a mega french buffet pig out.

With so much car time I had to come up with lots of ways to keep her happy.

We went to Utah for Thanksgiving and spent it w/ my parents, brother, aunt and cousins. It was such a good trip.

Nat loves turkey. Smart girl.

Nat and gma just chillin after eating lots of food!

Disneyland

I didn't know taking Nat to Dland for the first time would be so much fun. She loved it. She even went on Pirates no problem. Gotta love the weather too. 70's in November.


First train ride. :)

Teacups

 First teacup ride w/ a boy :)

Part of our Dland group. What a cute family.

Just missing snow!

Happy Halloween!

Yes, we did dress Nat up as dracula for Halloween. She'll have plenty of time to be girly the rest of her life. I was so in love with her costume i giggled every time i looked at her. 

 

Juan had a better picture on his phone, but it'll probably take about 5 years for me to get it to the computer.
