A Boy and His Auntie Reechel

On Gadget's Go-Coaster

On "it's a small world."

Dancing to Jazz at the French Market.

Shopping for nail polish at Target.

I just found this suspicious photo on my phone.

At Fashion Island

Goofy's Kitchen

For Christmas, we took the kids to Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel.

Maggie was friendlier than usual with the characters.

Dalton threw himself off the chair at Chip, who luckily caught him.

Christmas Day

Happy Christmas! Putting the last ornament on the advent calendar. (We managed to find the two missing ones before we needed them.)

Coming down the stairs.

Dalton finally spots the scooters.

Maggie is embarrassed and shy about her scooter.

The elves decorated the scooters with Christmas bows.

Taking a trial run around the kitchen.

Starting in on the stockings.

Reading new books from Aunt Rachel.

One of Maggie's favorite gifts was this dry erase board from the dollar spot.

Everyone after presents!

Sienna doesn't know what to think.

In the afternoon, we went swimming! Well, the kids went swimming, us adults stuck to the hot tub.

Funny Faces, First Smiles, and First Christmas

Sienna on Christmas morning.

Caught the last bit of a smile for Daddy.

Trying to decide if the Christmas chaos is worth being interested in.

Apparently not.

One for Me, One for the Ducks

Since we got moved to 1:00 church, we've been taking morning walks at the lake to feed the ducks.  Dalton has developed an affinity for cheap-o white bread that has been frozen and thawed in the microwave.

One for me...

 One for the ducks...

One for me...

One for the ducks...

Getting divebombed by a seagull.

And, since iPhone has an awesome reverse camera picture, here's me and Sienna behind the scenes.

Sienna's First Beach Trip

We went on a family outing to Newport Beach today.

I love that she is wearing her My First Christmas shirt on her first trip to the beach.

Maggie is wearing a jingle bell around her neck, which had me looking for a running dog every time it jingled. 

The kids' tent added to the fun.

Sailboat and Newport Pier.
