California Christmas 2015

 We enjoyed a great Christmas break in California visiting Michael's side of the family. Here are some of our adventures...

That moment when you have to wait your turn... life is so hard.

Clara, Ellie, and Oaklyn

On Christmas Day, we took the Bart in to San Francisco. Piper and Oaklyn were so excited for their "train ride"

Cable Car!

Getting ready with Grandma

At the Oakland Temple, where Michael and I were married

Our future little missionaries at the Temple Visitor Center

Just a little Nerf bow and arrow war at the church gym

And fortunately, there was a foam flower block thing for the girls to destroy and make a mess with to keep them busy

We spent a few days at a beach house between Monterrey and Santa Cruz

Surfer Girls

The family that boogie boards together...

And yes, I'm 6 months pregnant with baby girl #2

Double vision at all times with two Queen Elsa's running around

We spent New Year's Eve roaming the streets and walking the pier at First Night in Monterrey 

Tide Pooling:  "Let's find a starfish!" "No, find Nemo!" ~Oaklyn

Sand Angels

Thanks to Matt, we got a tour of the Coast Guard Station in Monterrey

We saw a ton of dolphins jumping out of the water doing all kinds of flips

Monterrey has the coolest playground!

And, last but not least, the fruit stand. Can't beat 10 kiwis for $1
