Had a fun visit to the zoo with Nana and the kids. Super fun!
We enjoyed playing around the zoo and ending our visit with fun zoo rides.
We ended our year with a date night out with Keegan and Tasha. (I adore her! Total womance going on here)
Probably wont make it to midnight, but feeling happy and lucky after such a fun adventure of a year.

From Drop Box
What a lovely Christmas! Both kids slept in until I impatiently woke them with whispers of Merry Christmas. Finn sprung up excitedly screaming PRESENTS!!! Then he proceeded to wake up his father and brother.

Liam was also really in the holiday this year. Here he in with his signature CHEEEEESSSEEEEE!.

12/22/2013 - Kai Time

From Drop Box
The boys can't get enough of their Quality Time with their cousin. K, T and K were having breakfast out towards us this morning, so I suggested that we get together for lunch and an afternoon playdate with the kids. We headed over to Amba for a yummy lunch and brought the kids over to Montclair park for get a little bit of playground time. It was the most beautiful December day. Sunny, but chilly with a good amount of people out and about. The kids were playing bank robbers on the Wells Fargo Horse and Carriage at the park. Silly sweet robber boys.

12/21/2013 - City Christmas

From Drop Box
We took a little jaunt to the city today to see the Christmas decorations. It was a wildly fun adventure with 3 kids in tow, even with the adults outnumbering the kiddos. The boys are having such a blast together. Even though the two older ones slightly torment the little one, they all just adore each other so much.
From Drop Box
We wandered through some fun stores. The rainbow staircase in Uniqlo was a hit with the three boys.
From Drop Box
We attempted to capture a sweet Christmas picture in front of the huge Macy's Christmas tree with the three goofballs and the grandparents. I think it turned out pretty well.
From Drop Box
We also attempted to capture a great family picture. It perfectly defines our crazy little fam. All together it was a fantastic little adventure in San Francisco.

12/20/2013 - Gingerbread and Cousins, nothing sweeter

It was Finn's classroom holiday party today! The kids were so amped up with the start of Winter Break and the presence of copious amounts of candy! It was a sweet (pun intended) experience.
To top it all off, my boys were reunited. It was super fun even though the older two ganged up against the little one. I love the extreme cousin love. Nothing better.

12/19/2013 - Christmas Concert

We shook things up today and Li got to take Finny to school. He was thrilled to be walking his bro to school. He also enjoyed running with the big boys on the yard.

Liam had his Christmas concert today. It was adorable even if our little Dragonfly wanted nothing to do with the singing.
I am pretty sure he won't be the star of any musical theater any time soon, but foreseeing some Action Flick movies.

12/18/2013 - School Walk

My favorite part of the day is taking my big kid to school. I get it usually only once a week and I treasure it. Every simple second. I hope he holds my hands forever.

Please let this be the end of the cold snap.

12/13/2013 - Baby oh baby!!

My dear best girlfriend from college is preggers with her first baby. She is uber creative and sent me a fun package with a gender reveal cookie with colored frosting in the middle. The cookie was delish and I was thrilled to see ..... Pink frosting inside even if Jesse and I guessed wrong.

12/11/2013 - routine

Every night I lay out my clothes and do the same thing for the kids. It somehow feels like a win. Tonight I was so lazy that I delegated it to Jesse. Still feels like a win!
