Monterey for Christmas!

We got to go to Monterey for about a day and a half after Christmas. There's nothing like hanging out at the ocean house to make you feel relaxed. :) 


Image
The Monarch butterflies were in season on their way through Monterey, so we stopped by the park to see them.

Climbing the whale outside the Natural History Museum. This thing has been there forever - I remember coming to it when I was little.

Love these cuties.

Ghirardelli now serves lemon sorbet - perfect for our milk-free baby girl!

This girl has some crazy faces.... just like her brother... and her dad. :)

Loving her sorbet.

There was a huge mirror right next to our booth. Nora spent about 10 minutes making faces at herself in the mirror. I was cracking up.

Singing to herself.

Christmas day!

We had a great Christmas morning as a little family at home. We received many surprise blessings this Christmas season, and were so grateful for the gifts we received and the time we were able to spend with family. Overall it was a busy but awesome Christmas.

Image
So excited to get downstairs!

Image
Nora loves everything about Christmas!

Image
Checking to see if the reindeer found the reindeer food outside!

Silly little family!

These two are best friends.

Nora got a princess castle!

The slinky dog that Owen has been wanting for years! Luckily "Santa" found it on clearance for only $7!

Nora loved the dolly and stroller Santa got her!
