We really enjoyed Winter Break! We had the perfect balance of down time, friend time and family time. Here are just a few pictures of the fun things that we did over the break. You can thank me for not including any of those pictures that were taken during days when we spent most of our time lounging around the house in our jammies. You're welcome.
Emmy and Kayla had a tea party for their American Girl dolls. Kyler and Nate checking out if there were any good snacks at this party.
Alice and Emily enjoying their tea and snacks. Emmy made the cutest little cupcakes in her Easy Bake Oven.
After the tea party we headed to the park for a picnic.
Game night at Pat's house.
The kids had fun running amuck in the other room while the adults played games.
My friend Rita and I hiked and made it to the top of Silly Mountain.
Kayla wanted to do some of the interviews in her new "My Mom and Me" book at Starbucks. It ended up being a perfect night to be at Starbucks. We sat in the corner by the window, watched the rain and drank hot chocolate and planned some special "girl" activities.
Watching Monsters Inc in 3D with the May Family. Such a cute movie!
Back at Starbucks. : ) Before heading to the bookstore, we had hot chocolate and a treat. Love that my kids enjoy going to Starbucks as much I do!!
The kids and I met up with Grandma Jean and Grandpa Ed at the Riparian Preserve.
The kids had fun releasing their incredible amount of energy while riding their scooters.
After our hike around the preserve.
Our New Years Day hike at Usery Pass up to the Wind Cave.
We made it!!
Enjoying the view with my little buddy.
Game night. An intense game of Phase 10 took place. The pressure was too much for Darren. Haha!
Park play date with Kaelin and Ava. This picture was purposely taken in front of this tractor that they pretended was their home.
Enjoying the gorgeous weather with our friends Ava and Lily at the park.
Silly girls-1. Their friend Abigail was not feeling good and could not join us. : (
Trip to the Phoenix Zoo.
