Christmas 2016 - part 2

The day after xmas we loaded up the car (I mean loaded) and headed up to Westlake to see not only Marc/Kristen, Julie but the Murrays! We've wanted to do a big xmas since we moved to CA 24 years ago. We had  BLAST!

And we're off!


More presents!


Emmy knit Marc a scarf and was so excited to give it to him :) 


The New Yorkers


Matt trying to keep up with the kids on their scooters!



 Manhattans at 1p? Why not!


Auntie Julie gave Ryan a water gun then conveniently left for Florida before she had a chance to get wet ;)


All we did was EAT and DRINK!


Katie introduced the kids to snap chat


AND put them to bed every night. She is the BEST!


A little yoga in the backyard. Coming to the Cove really is like a vacation :) 


This doesn't happen to often!


The Murrays 


Emmy and Ryan took a bunch of awesome polaroids 



Smores! 


Since it was 75 degrees we heated up the hot tub. Ryan started swim lessons 3 weeks ago and in that short period of time he has learned to put his face in the water! One of my biggest parent lessons to date - don't assume your kid won't like something. I almost didn't take him when the spot became open because I thought he'd be terrified. Boy was I wrong. I am so proud of him.


Trying to swim like a dolphin



We ordered $80 worth of food from In and Out for lunch. That is a shit load of hamburgers. 


Moose glasses to make our Griswold Christmas official


Everyone was sad to leave. Emmy was especially sad to leave Katie which is why I have already started looking into Air bnbs in SD in July :)

Our drive home was pretty long but everyone (including Sadie) hung in there!
