Nothing Like A Little Snow!

For Thanksgiving this year Drew's parents rented a Cabin (okay a BIG house) in Big Bear! We were so lucky with the cold weather..we arrived to snow and lots of it!! It was a fun time hanging out with cozy fires, hot tubing, lots of games and plenty of good food..what could be better? We had a yummy Thanksgiving dinner and the kids just LOVED the snow. They had a blast sledding down the mountain. To this day Dylan still asks everyday if we could go to the snow! It was a fun trip and to think it was only one and a half hours away makes it even better!!!

Happy Birthday To Me!!

This year I had a special treat!! It just so happened that one of my really good friends got married on the weekend of my birthday, which was in Palm Springs. So Drew and I got a getaway KIDS FREE to Palm Springs for the weekend and celebrated my birthday and Brandy's wedding right with Facials at the JW Marriott, laying by the pool, shopping at the outlets, eating yummy food, and of course attending her beautiful wedding and reception. We danced the night away and had a blast!! I don't think I've danced like that since my college days:) It was a fun time and I especially enjoyed spending time with my wonderful husband!! I've decided that maybe I need birthday weekends every year!!!

HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES

Okay so I know I am totally late on this post...but it's catch up big time for me!! So here we go...Halloween was a fun time in our family this year, we decided to go with the Toy Story 3 theme since my kids are OBSESSED with it!! It started out Dylan wanting to be Woody and naturally Brinley had to be Jesse and then since Tylee Jane was a little one she went as the Evil Dr. Pork chop! Dylan loved getting candy at each of the doors and was very upset when we told him it was time to come inside:) The two of them together running from house to house carrying these heavy pumpkins full of candy were hillarious. Dylan wouldn't let us help him carry his pumpkin...I think he was afraid we'd take all his candy!! It was too cute! We also did the annual pumpkin patch which was a lot of fun along with pumpkin carving! They both had a blast scooping out the messy pumpkin "guts." This year I got them all matching skeleton pajamas that glowed in the dark. Dylan thought it was the coolest thing and wanted to wear them every night and each time he had them on he would run around yelling "I'm Spooky!"
