Monday, instead of sending the kids to school, Chief and I took them with us for a day trip to Santa Cruz.
The main reason for the trip was to go see Auntie HL (Helen Louise), who is Chief’s mother‘s sister. Her granddaughter Ashley (my second cousin) lives with her, and so we got to visit with her too, which was great.
Auntie HL had not met Oscar or Lucy! For that I felt terrible, but better late than never.
We love you!
Hope it’s a great day!

Still lovin’ the bathtime.
Happy to play with Chief
Returning to the scene of the crime. And not even acting guilty about it!
Oscar with his art teacher Ellen Weinstein. (love her!)
This hummingbird was so bent out of shape about the hawk!
The hawk refused to get his feathers ruffled.

Just what you need – December photos in January. But Kristi graciously shared her photos with us, and I’m just getting to that disc now.
Remember those cute gift tag cookies? Here’s the party that went with them! (UPDATE: And here’s the party blogged on SweetKiera.com)
This invitation rocks!

Thank You Cole and Kiera for hosting such a fun night!
