Christmas 2017

I can't believe it is already February! Wow. Ok so Christmas this last year was pretty great. Having a newborn around made it extra magical. And I loved that we just stayed home! Waking up in your own house with your kids is the best!

We went up to La Canada the Saturday before Christmas to for the Anderson Cousin Party and Annual Girls breakfast with grandma. Its pretty fun to be around my cousins and all their kids. The boys were part of the natvity. Auggie was Baby Jesus, Jimmy was the Cow and Chase was the Star again!

Christmas Eve we had Chinese takeout at my house and Becca made sugar cookies for the boys to give to Santa. They loved it! In the morning my parents, Becca, Kenze and Chad come over to open presents and have breakfast. The boys went surfing after and Kenzie and I did a workout in the backyard. 

Later on Christmas we decided to just head up to Ventura. It was so beautiful up there!!!

 Savvy's First Birthday!

 Sherman Gardens LIghts!

Summer time in San Clemente

I can't even begin to express how much I love where we live.

We have this little hiking trail behind our house and they just built a road connection so there are always construction vehicles which Chase loves!

  The summers here are pretty awesome. The ocean water gets so warm! like 75 degree warm.  And I love how it gets dark later in the summer because it makes it so easy for us to get to the beach in the evening.

 We take full advantage of being by the ocean. I would say that we easily get to the beach 4-5 times a week in the summer. And if we don't go to the beach we go to our community pool.

 Lately it seems like it is never crowded and there is a little park right next to it that I like to take the boys to. I love when it is empty and it is just us! 

The other week we took the boys paddle boarding at Baby Beach in Dana Point and it was so fun!

Chase went out with Casey (with a life jacket) and Jimmy and I just hung on the beach. 

I don't want summer to end!

Actually I think we still have another month of summer weather and without the crowds because everyone went back to school :)
