Picture of the Week: A Day at the Beach


Gracie's reading tutor wanted her to read out loud every day, so she read Christmas stories to Perry.


We made Christmas Rice Krispy treats for dessert.


Perry was being silly when I woke her up for school.


The girls found Clarabelle sitting in a bowl of marshmallows when they woke up one morning.


We had a pretty sunrise as we drove to school.


Perry played her Vampirina guitar and sang us songs.


We snuggled on the couch while we watched the Golden Knights game.



Clarabelle was up to more nonsense, and we found our kitchen covered in Post-Its on Thursday.



I saw this and thought it was so perfect, since I do most of the Christmas shopping around here.


Perry wanted to stay under the covers instead of getting ready for school.


We had a rain day, and the clouds were really low when we left the house.


Clarabelle brought the girls a gingerbread house kit, so they did that Friday night.


They all wanted to be carried by Daddy Saturday morning.


Perry told us she was going to the store, and she kept coming in and talking to us about it for about thirty minutes. She was hilarious and had us cracking up.


We left for our California trip early Sunday morning, and there was some thick fog near state line. It made me nervous to drive through it, because you could barely see in front of you.



We made it Newport and took a walk down the pier. Charley wasn't too happy as she really wanted to go play on the beach.



We finally made it down there, and the girls had a blast running and jumping through the waves. It was freezing, but they couldn't care less.







Perry has never really been a fan of the ocean, so she stuck to the sand for a while.




Daddy finally talked her into checking out the water, and then we couldn't keep her out of it.








She brought me seashells that she found and face planted more than once, so she ended up in her undies.








We love the beach so much. I could sit and watch the girls run in the waves forever, but soon it was time to grab some lunch. We ate at Dory's Deli and had the best fish and chips before hitting up our favorite donut shop, Seaside Bakery.


After a few hours at the beach, we headed to Anaheim to get ready for the next few days in Disneyland.

See you next week!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
