Santa Baby
Another successful visit with Santa. I love seeing Christmas through my kids' eyes. I wish I would have waited on printing the Christmas card though; these would have made the card spectacular.

New Digs
We've officially been in California just over 3 months. For the most part we are settled into our home, with exception to our room, and we're getting into the routine of things.
Jared is working on Sand Hill Road, which is 5 min from home; much better than the weekly commute from Utah. We actually get to see him everyday and it's been SO much nicer than having him gone Tues-Thurs each week.
Lucas is in Preschool two days a week and loves his new friends and teachers. Whenever he does something he shouldn't he asks me not to tell Teacher Lori or Teacher Nancy. I've loved watching Luke's personality emerge as he's gotten older. He's extremely inquisitive and this kid is FUNNY. Two days ago we awoke to find that during the night he had decided to put on his newly purchased underwear. The fun didn't end there; he proceeded to put on every pair he could find....14 pair. He slept the entire night in 14 pair of undies. I wish we had taken a picture, but we only found out when we came running in screaming that he needed to go pee. Jared had to pry those babies off as fast as he could.
Gwynie is a little joy. She is just over 6 months, is the easiest baby and is sleeping great. She gets so excited when anyone talks to her and her whole body wiggles around with joy when I go into pick her up in the morning. She ADORES her big brother and will instantly stop crying if he talks to her. If Gwyn is crying in the back seat I'll ask Luke to sing to her and she is mesmerized by him. I love seeing these two together. She chews and slobbers on everything in sight and is rolling around the room to get to the things she wants.
I'm really enjoying being in California. I'm missing the snow right now, but I REALLY love the fact that I can be outside everyday. Winter is so much easier to get through when your kids can play outside. I've been cooking quite a bit more here and I've been refinishing some furniture in my free time. I have an elliptical machine on the patio that I want to work out on at least 3 times a week, but usually don't. I also have a Zumba class that I want to go to twice a week, but I've been to once so far. Baby steps.
Here are some pics of the new house. For those of you that are clean freaks, look the other way. Sorry this has taken so long Aunt Diane!
We need to plant some flowers- I know.

I'm too ashamed to put any pictures of my room right now. I'll try to post some when I have it looking a little better.
We're super excited to see everyone in Utah during the holidays and we're also really excited to have our new friends in California. Thanks for all your support and love.
