Stop 3 Coastal Craze...

Eric can never resist getting into the water at the coast...no matter what the temperature is outside. It appears Sierra has the same genes. They loved running from the big waves and getting extremely wet. This was part 3 of our Thanksgiving adventure.

More Stop #3

Mason, Allie and I were all happy to sit in the sand and watch Eric and Sierra freeze. Mason was a little scared of the big waves and concerned about Sierra. The Northern California coast is really beautiful. The waves are bigger than we are used to here and a lot more blue. It was a beautiful November coast day!

Stop 4 Family...

We drove down to Rough and Ready, CA to be with Grandma and Grandpa C. for Thanksgiving. Here are some of the highlights from R and R.

Playing with all nine cousins ages 6 and under!
Eating good food
Watching the cousins play in the leaves
Riding the quad with Uncle Nic
Watching old "A-Team" episodes
Being with family

Happy, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to the best Mom and Grandma there is! We love you!

Magic...

It's like magic for everyone (including Mom), when your older sister can read to you.

I admit it...

Sometimes I choose fashion over function, and it looks like Sierra does too. Or maybe she just likes wearing my shoes.

Mud...

I saw this video on a friends blog. Eric hasn't been in a 'cross race like this yet but that will probably change tomorrow in Salem. Check out the crazy people here:

Tricked...

I have tricked the kids for 2 years in a row now. They pick their costumes from the dress up box and they are very happy to do so, we have plenty of options. With the exception of Allie's wings and flowers from the dollar store I have done it again. They have been tricked!

We have Laura Ingalls, Captain of the Pirates Mason and as Allie told everyone, " I am going to be a fairy with orange wings."
