Holiday Break

It seemed like the kids had extra time off this year. I took the last week off and it was AMAZING! We had zero plans. We were lazy at home, hit up a new park each day, didn't rush anywhere and really just had fun. Owen has turned into a cute little monster, moving everywhere and getting into everything! Emmy has never been more obsessed with gymnastics swinging on every bar in site. Ryan is the most athletic kid I know. He's gearing up to play flag football and baseball so there was lots of balls flying around the house :) I wish we could do that more often, just hang out together with no agenda. A goal for 2018 I guess.... 

Pulled out the good old red car.  He LOVED IT!

We went to the corvette diner for the first time. 

Emmy got straw hair!

It was actually chilly our. A low 65 ;) 

Parks, parks and more parks!

We went to the Hotel Del for lunch one day. We were going to ice skate but it was 80 degrees out and the rink was like a lake! 

Upside down Christmas Tree!

Toast

This guy is starting to pull himself up on things

Her face makes me smile :) We all get to re-live experiences through Owen's eyes

We met the Santoros at the beach one afternoon. Perfection.

Happy New Year! We headed over to the Conklin's again this year and had a blast. 

Owen crawled around eating chip crumbs off the floor. HA!

Our annual tradition of shooting rockets!

An amazingly thoughtful and appropriate present from Kristen :) 

His new favorite thing to do - pull games off the shelf.

And play with legos!

Finished off our week with (surprise) a picnic at the park :) 

Another beautiful day in paradise. 

He literally climbed up the slide by himself!

"LOOK MOMMY HE'S WALKING!" So cute. 

Vacation sure can be exhausting
