happy belated holidays!! we've had a busy december and are looking forward to all that 2017 has to bring. stay tuned for my next post on christmas in seattle!
 |
| decorating our little tree |
 |
| no ladder needed to put the star on top |
 |
our "living tree" gets delivered each year and
spends its summers high in the sierras |
 |
the kids were elated with something that
arrived in the mail from my parents |
 |
| they didn't know what an advent calendar was |
 |
needless to say, they were ecstatic
when out popped a chocolate! |
 |
| livi's turn for her school's "roots" project |
 |
| she very much enjoyed her pointing responsibility! |
 |
| after the roots project, stinky came back to our house for a visit |
 |
| he was so happy to be back at casa de pellegrini |
 |
| stinky looks pretty good as an ornament, right? |
 |
| i was thrilled to outsource the stamping of holiday cards this year! |
 |
| there's our little (neglected) guy |
 |
| sister wives =) |
 |
| fresh baked cookies...coming right up! |
 |
| jacks drew an elaborate money-making machine |
 |
| best buds! well, at least lyla thinks they are |
 |
| off to a friday night art show! |
 |
| one of their preschool teachers is also a great artist |
 |
| getting their wiggles outside a bar in a smelly alley |
 |
| proud of where she stuck her sticker |
 |
| best sticker ever! |
 |
| lemon poppy seed muffins please |
 |
| waiting for soccer to start |
 |
| lyla is quite baby-obsessed right now |
 |
| we did a 5 mile scoot through the presidio |
 |
| with enough breaks and snacks, they actually did great! |
 |
| lots of sights to see! |
 |
thankfully, john picked us up at sports basement so
we didn't have to head uphill to get back home |
 |
we headed out another day to show john and bones
how far these kids could go |
 |
| off we go!! |
 |
| it looks beautiful out but it was freezing!! their poor fingers were numb. |
 |
| his masterpiece |
 |
| building a 3D puzzle together |
 |
| livi sure was a great helper to auntie keet =) |
 |
| the finished products! |
 |
| pizza date with john |
 |
| notice how john's expression doesn't change |
 |
| lyla's having a grand old time |
 |
| silly girl! |
 |
| i swear livi loves me and john the same |
 |
| admiring her birthday gift |
 |
| santa's 10th little reindeer |
 |
| let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! |
 |
| off to meet santa! |
 |
| next time i should probably get a copy of their list |
 |
their 5th year of macy's santa in union square...
and john and i have never been! |
 |
| the fairmont hotel has the most amazing gingerbread house |
 |
| always a fun visit during the holidays |
 |
| back at home feeding the livestock |
 |
| dance party with the girls |
 |
| quick TB test during the holiday break |
 |
this is probably where they brought
all the sick germs home from! |
 |
and just like that, we're all sick! john and i were
knocked out for most of our holiday break from work |
 |
| thankfully, we had the best babysitter crew to entertain the kids |
 |
| in heaven |
 |
i wished i wasn't a hot mess on the couch
and could have joined their outing |
 |
| by jan 1, we were back to our usual selves |
 |
| doing scooter surgeries |
 |
| keeping these kids busy |
 |
| our nightime nemesis |
 |
the sun is down - this creature is deciding how many
times to climb out of her crib in the middle of the night |
 |
| salon time |
 |
| the headband every girl wants after a haircut |
 |
| no training wheels for this guy |
 |
| livi needs some time to build that confidence! |
 |
| the biker gang |
 |
| a sunday run in golden gate park never gets old! |
