Lighted Train Ride

No Comments

Back in October, Mama bought tickets to the lighted train ride and the day has finally arrived! It’s one of the oldest trains in the country and they decorate it up for Christmas each year.

We all  boarded and brought snacks and hot chocolate for the kids.

It was raining but we were in a covered car with jackets on.

The inside cars had restrooms and a cafe to buy other snacks and drinks.

The train ran from one station to another and then back in the other direction.

In this photo, Peanut is saying “we love trains!”

What a fun ride and it was a great way to kick off the holiday season!

Last Day of Soccer

No Comments

Today, Team Spain had their last game of the season. Janie did a great job as goalie (that’s her making the save) and almost scored at goal!

She had a lot of hustle and good footwork today.

After the game, the team met up at Linguini’s for a pizza party. Coach Henon also handed out trophies to all the girls.

Peanut sat with his buddy Evan while he ate his lunch.

We also got a cute photo of Zoe and Janie together. It was fun having Uncle Jimmy as our assistant coach this season!

As a special treat, Mama and Auntie Eleen walked Janie, Zoe, Peanut, and Aliya to the game store down the street. They have Pokemon card dispensers there!

For 75 cents, you can get 5 Pokemon cards from the machine. So fun!

We are so proud of our big girl. It was her first time playing on a soccer team and she made some big improvements throughout the season. She was also selected to play in the All-Star game in December but we will be in Hawaii that day. It’s too bad she won’t get to play but we still couldn’t be any prouder.

Slumber Party!

No Comments

Uncle Jason and Auntie Jia drove up today and the kids had so much fun eating dinner and dessert together.

Then it was a cousin slumber party in their bedroom.

They played Octonauts and then a game of Zingo.

Then they gathered around for stories. Janie did a great job reading to them.

It took them a while to settle down and fall asleep but overall they all did well.

Space Shuttle!!!

No Comments

Today, we went to the California Science Center with all the cousins. There’s a cool aquarium area as well as a pretend play area but the thing that Peanut was looking forward to most was seeing the Space Shuttle up close!

 

He was pretty happy to see it but kept asking when it was going to blast off. He and Thomas were glued to the screen that showed the lift off on repeat.

Here’s Peanut giving a beaver a check-up in the pretend play area.

We love it when all 6 cousins get to play together!
