It's lovely having teacher friends that send us cute pics of the boys during school. They had wonderful parent/teacher conferences, almost perfect report cards and their teacher commented that they had told her that their uncle goes to MIT and she said their math skills must run in the family. We didn't tell her that it's my brother in law...
This is the group shot from Sunday morning camping last weekend, it dawned sunny and pretty.
Thursday morning some girls and I decided to do a 5k in Palm Springs, it was worth the early morning wake up and great pre holiday company.
My boys on Thanksgiving.
The each took money out of their wallets to go shopping and we are shipping care packages to the military. Ty has Army, Luke has Navy and Mason is Air Force. The all wrote thank you letters to go along with the packages. Cutest letters ever.
Saturday we headed to Sierra Madre to celebrate Roman's birthday. While most of the people went to SkyZone, Eric, Kerri, Dalton and I took Luke and Mason to Dave and Busters. It was fun and they are the perfect age.
We found the Grinch downtown Sierra Madre and Mason put on his best Who face.
Luke and his doggie.
Sledding downtown Sierra Madre.
Sunday morning in Kerri and Niko's backyard.
Some sleepers on the way home!!
It was a long but wonderful holiday weekend with great people.
On Friday we celebrated Christmas with my parents. Ty is out of the goofy picture look but the twins have stepped right up!
We also had a cake for Ty's birthday. 
11 years old. 
Saturday we had a party for Ty, 20 kids and super fun.
Grandma Karen sent the present of the year, a big red photo op chair.
We love the red chair.
Sunday Eric took the boys hiking with a group to Slots Canyon. They loved it. 
Saturday night was the annual Festival of Lights parade downtown Palm Springs. Our friends Kristen and Ethan have a big RV that they bring down and this year it was an ugly sweater party. It's a pot luck and we always have so much fun. 
The kids with the best view in the house on top of the RV, Christmas tree and all.
This is the first year we have seen these!!
Our set up.
Sunday morning we decorated our Gingerbread men. They had fun doing it but I'm pretty sure more candy and frosting ended up in their mouths than on the gingerbread!
Sunday afternoon Ty had a baseball clinic so Julie and I took the boys hiking, it was a perfect day for it!
They are great hikers and kept telling Julie and I to speed it up. Happy Monday!!
