California Love

So we have been here now for almost a week and we are all finally getting rested again. It seems that with all the fun and excitement coupled with the traveling, we all get very worn out! I am wondering how we are going to handle the trip home! We may just have to crash for a couple of weeks to recuperate.





On Friday we went out to pick up the Christmas tree. Gabriel had never gotten to do that before so we all, kind of, let him pick it out himself. He walked all over the lot searching for the perfect tree. Of course, he liked the biggest ones so we had to direct him to the section that was more in the price range that Mow Mow and Popeye were looking for. I just can't see spending over $100 for a tree that is going to die in a few weeks!



Other than that, we have done a whole lot of nothing. Mow Mow and Popeye were given a ton of Thomas the Tank Engine toys and a play table so many hours have been spent working on that.





Of course, Ah-Ah had to make a smoothie for Gabriel.

Michael has been having a great time as well. He and Ah-Ah are buddies.



Also, Michael pulled up to standing all by himself! Once he got up he looked pretty proud of himself, but then it was like he couldn't hang on much longer and needed someone to rescue him!




We are looking forward to Christmas and New Years and our trips to see family and friends. Also, of course, our trip to Disneyland! We miss our home and friends there, but we are fully enjoying our time with family.
