Knott's Berry Farm: Twogether is Better!

Last weekend we were invited to come see Knott's Berry Farm all decked out for their Twogether is Better event!

We had so much fun as a family taking part in all the great activities!

Snoopy was a sweetheart!

Charlie Brown and Friends put on a great show, Love is in the Air!

The kids got to join them on stage for a little dance number that had the crowd cheering!

These 2 little sweethearts rocked their love outfits from their mamas!

(My Rufflicious Valentine)

(Ruffled Tuxedo)

The boys always love Snoopy's Airmail!

My sweetie girl and I loved the speedway!

The daddies took the boys high up in the air!

The carousel is a classic must ride!

We love to pick our animals.

The Windseeker was the mama-approved thrill of the day!

We got to dip apples and marshmallows in chocolate, so tasty!

They also had a fun craft corner!

The kids colored, and Jeremy made this sweet Valentine for his sister!

I'm in love.

Star Wars Birthday Bash!

My son has joined the Star Wars fan club
and was so excited to celebrate this year Jedi style!!

I being the crazy party mama that I am,
went crazy looking at all the ideas!

I found this awesome Etsy shop, Shindig Parties!

She sent me an awesome party pack
to create a fabulous Star Wars Birthday Bash!

First there was the invite...cue the music...

Then the Jedi Feast!

Love all the foodie names!

 

The kids loved all the characters on the cupcakes!

(Yoda was much fought over.)

We toasted Jedi Juice and let the games begin!

Jedi Jedi Sith

(Much like duck duck goose)

I made Jedi robes for all the young Padawans, using this tutorial! 

Jedi-Master Jeremy taught them some rad Jedi moves!

We blindfolded them and let them test their Jedi mind powers

to pin stars on the birthday boy.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!

May the Force be with you!!

Solvang!

After Christmas we went on a fabulous sisters getaway to Solvang

 planned by my equally fabulous sister Cherish!

She found this fun park that the kids loved!

The swings were so great!

They even had this one that was more like an armchair, so comfy!

We packed a lunch and played for a while.

Kelsey loves stealing Daddy's hat!

The daddies played ball with the kids while the women sat and talked.

We went on my favorite hike to Nojoqui Falls!

The kids love this natural tree slide on the way up.

Family at the Falls!

The men got silly with the cameras!

Kelsey hit up Daddy for a ride!

Happy little hiker!

My favorite thing in Solvang!

Aebleskivers!!

We love the Dutch shoe photo op!

Just my size! 

We had never been to the mission, and were excited to check it out!

It had an interesting history and lots of fun things to see!

The weather this winter was unseasonably warm

and we went swimming!

They had a pool Kelsey's size

and one big enough for Jeremy to jump in!

Cherish and I had our annual dye adventure!

The last day we went back to Nojoqui Falls Park to meet our cousins!

Jeremy made it all the way across the monkey bars!

We were so proud of him, and he was proud of himself too!

We met our new cousin for the first time and Kelsey loved him!

Thank you Cherish for a wonderful vacation!!

Christmas 2011!

Christmas was so fun!
We stayed home and celebrated together!

This year I decided I would finally get our matching stockings made!

Jeremy was excited to find his favorite chocolate coins inside!

Kelsey was a professional unwrapper, ripping paper left and right!

Jeremy with the one thing he really wanted!

The Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon!!

Jeremy got the quite the Lego Star Wars haul!

Everyone got him some!

Kelsey got the unicorn she'd been wanting!

Daddy commented that all her gifts came in pink boxes this year.

Yep, that's how it is with a girl! Fun!

Christmas breakfast came wrapped in a blue box with extra frosting!

We love the Cinnabon tradition!

Christmas was on Sunday this year.

We got cleaned up and dressed up and headed off to church!

It was simply a wonderful Christmas!
