Holiday Season

Its a little late but I am finally getting around to posting pictures from this past holiday season. As always it flew but we tried to enjoy each minute and squeeze in some fun activities. I love that the kids love the holidays as much as I do :)

Looking for the perfect tree

Decorating with Owen around is not an easy task these days. Ha!

Snuggle monsters

I hate the ipad and feel guilty every second the kids are on it but then I hear them laughing together and I guess it is okay :) 

I took Emmy and Ryan to see the Grinch this year! We didn't make it last year and hope to take Owie next year :) 

Our annual post Grinch play lunch. They look so much alike these days!

She was so excited to find these elf hoodie. She wore it to school multiple times, despite being made fun of each time. You go girl!

We actually got some rain this year!

We stopped to listen to every caroler this year. 

UTC mall

Vons - I mean stop and listen to the music right?!

Best night - our annual boat trip to watch the lights!

Owen drove most of the time and could barely touch the steering wheel with his jacket and life vest on. 

Always such a fun time with this crew :) 

This guy was PUMPED for his xmas performance 

A new addition to the new bathroom. 

The creepiest Santa in the whole world visited Owen's daycare. AHAHAHAHA

Always getting himself into trouble

A night away for the DeWinter's annual xmas party! It was aloha themed (huh?) so we threw a few necklaces on and called it a day. 

Thanksgiving 2019

We were very lucky this year - we all made it to Westlake to end the year with all of us together. I think that was a record this past year - 4 times (if you include last xmas). It was unusually rainy and cold so we spent a lot of time inside eating, drinking, watching football and playing poker. Julie threw a shower for Kristen so we all got to celebrate the newest member of our family :)
We also headed to a trampoline park with what felt like 500 other people. Despite Marc's complaints about the craziness, I think he had the most fun out of all of us ;)
Ryan cried (HARD) when we left because he didn't want to leave and just wanted to "hang out with everyone". It broke my heart but made me happy knowing he cherishes these times as much as I do.

We kicked the weekend off with a visit to see Santa!

Lots of belly time :) 

POKER! The kids caught on quick and were booked! 

Josh the supervisor. Big role in the kitchen :)

Jules did a great job! So fun to celebrate together. 

Marc has some really amazing friends. We all grew up together. 

Ingydoo! Ahahaha

Owen leaping off the chair shirtless, in the middle of present opening. This sums up most situations these days. 

Apparently immersing into cold water in Marc's thing. He's nuts!

Trying to get some energy out

TOAST. 

The played on and off ALL DAY when we got home. We are teaching them to be sharks. They have to save money for college somehow! 

Competition Season

Someone is getting ready for competition season and she could not be more EXCITED!
