Life is Beautiful...: January 2013

I'm a slacker.... my excuse???? Well, two boys named Thing 1 and Thing 2. We had a great November with a visit from Palma and Brad and their exchange student son Federico, an Air Force football game and lots of lots of food. We celebrated Thanksgiving in Fresno at Casey's Mom's house and had a blast visiting with our family and friends. The boys loved getting some time in with their Aunties, Uncles and cousins!

December was a whirlwind with Christmas shopping, a trip to Disneyland and having the Christmas celebration at our house. It was busy, but fun.

Now well into January we have had a nice long visit with Grandpa Vincent, Grandma Vincent, Aunt Caitlin, and Nena. The boys loved having all of their family around!

The BIGGEST news of all is the arrival of Baby Kellan! Beth and Sean welcomed their newest addition on January 5th at 5:13pm. He is the sweetest little guy and he has the most loving parents and a VERY excited big sister. Welcome Kellan!

With the new year I will try and be better about blogging, but I'm not sure how many people are really following anyway! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New year!

We all made a trip to Yosemite National Forest and it was amazing! It was my first time... breathtaking!

These ya ya's stole my camera and this is what I found... you crazy girls!

Noah reading The Night Before Christmas... this was my dad's book when he was little and was passed down to my parents. I remember reading this book when I was little and it sat on our piano every Christmas. I love that now I get to read this to our little guys and can later pass this down to them.

We attended an ugly sweater party at our friends James and Amber's house... We had a great time...

Scott and Jenny... they welcomed their little bundle at the end of December and she is just beautiful

Our Disneyland trip started in California Adventure... The boys had so much fun. We bought season passes and have now promised ourselves that we will be visiting Mickey a couple of times a month!
