Grandpa Jess gave the kids each $20 when he dropped us off the airport.  They used their money to get an ice cream everyday.  This is Eli’s first and he LOVED it. DSC02807DSC02806DSC02805

Day 3 it rained.

Final day and we flew home.DSC02829DSC02830DSC02831

We got ice cream from Clarabelle's.  You can make your own ice cream bar with whatever ice cream, chocolate coating, and toppings you want.  You can also make an ice cream chocolate chip cookie sandwich that is dipped in chocolate.  We learned this time that one per person is WAAAAAY too much.  The next time we went we all got one to share and that was plenty.  DSC02832DSC02833

I took the kids’ hats with us, but you can see that they’re not wearing them in any pictures.  Instead they put them on after their showers at home.  I’ve learned not to take their hats with us anymore.  IMG_0156IMG_0158

The kids are so cute reading together.DSC02834DSC02837

Eli is so cute playing the Wii sword fighting game.  That night we were reading Harry Potter as a family and Eli fell asleep.DSC02844DSC02846

There are plenty of heater vents in the house that are easily accessible, yet Patch chooses to do this to warm himself up.IMG_0175

There was a daddy daughter dance at school.DSC02850

Patch hates when I cut his nails.DSC02851

Sunday naps are the best.

Eli fell asleep on the couch a lot.  IMG_0155IMG_0150IMG_0137DSC02771

I cleaned my oven, which is like a miracle.

I told Eli the story of the three little pigs so we built a house made of brick.

We played restaurant in the basement.DSC02781

Found a VERY fat robin in our tree.  Probably fat off all the strawberries it ate from my garden last year.DSC02772

Cadbury eggs came out really early for Easter.IMG_20140113_120642

And I found this picture from our Christmas trip to Disneyland. IMG_0136
