Grasshopper Park

Kali's entire 2nd grade walked up to the park yesterday for a mini-field trip.

Kai, Kora & I drove up there to meet her for lunch.

It was FREEZING!

 Kora was all bundled up & Kai brought his "Indiana Jones bag" that he found in my parent's garage.

Kali's friend, Lauren sat with us and Kali was SO excited that the teachers brought Jamba Juice for everyone. The kids had a great time.

Christmas Cheer

This is what happens every morning when Kai wakes up (just in time for Jake & the Neverland Pirates) he LOVES to watch cartoons and snuggle with Kora.

 She is so entertained by him.

 The other day we got this sweet little miss dressed up in her Christmas jammies and took the older kids to a Holiday craft workshop at the community center.

 Kali's friend Marli came with us and the kids had fun making crafts & eating snacks.

I just LOVE December and all the fun things we get to do.

Desert Ridge

We went out to Desert Ridge last night for Holiday story time & snowfall.

Here is the story time...it was pretty boring for the kids

so Francis took a bunch of pictures (we are still getting use to our new camera)

 like, why is the date on the picture??

 I just love these handsome boys

 Kali, of course, had to strike a pose

 the kids had some cookies

 then Kai said he wanted to leave and Kali agreed so we walked down to the little playground and the big Christmas tree

 It is SOOO pretty!

 We went into Barnes and Noble where the kids showed us what they want for Christmas (pretty much everything) and they got pirate eye patches....AARG!

 Then, it was time for the snowfall where we saw our friends the Turner's.

 It looks like our kids are crazy but I swear there was snow

 see, here is it shooting out

 I also saw my friend Misti from high school. Here she is meeting Kora

 Kali holding "snow"

 By the way, it's still so warm here that we were all hot in our long sleeves last night...crazy!!

After the snow it was time to go to Dave & Busters and use the rest of our game card.

 We only had $10 left so the kids (Fran is a big kid) did some skeeball

 and then we found this AWESOME game that both of the kids loved & in 10 minutes they won 1,000 tickets!!!!

I've never seen Kai so excited!

They got a bunch of stuff from the little prize shop then we got some Yogurtini by our house & headed home.

It was such a fun Wednesday night :)
