Batter up!

We had a really fun day at airport beach. Poor little Maya was not feeling 100%, but she powered through. Erik and I were up late the night before putting together her kitchen and the girls had fun playing all morning. Then off to the party for bouncing, squirt bottles and lots of food. I can't believe our little baby is a big 3 year old!

Doorway puppet theatre I made the girls

We also gave them these puppet kits,

and of course they had to make them- all of them right then!

Christmas Day at s-turns

Come over for a show,

Kalia also has a magic show that she now performs from behind

the theatre curtains.

We had a really fun and relaxing Christmas. The girls woke up excited and we really had a wonderful family day. Maya was really happy with her horse on a stick and Kalia after all the build up for the Lalaloopsy- not so excited. I guess this is our first case of something on TV not living up to her expectations. The one gift I was really excited about was a puppet theatre that I sewed for them to stick in any doorway. The really loved it and went to play immediately. We spend some time making all of the puppets- so they could put on a play. We finally made it out of the house in the afternoon. We headed down to s-turns and Erik surfed and we played in the water. It was a great day!

Christmas Eve

Me and my girls:)

We had such a fun Christmas Eve- so glad that we get to spend Christmas Eve with Alana and Tanner. We had our traditional horseshoes game outside and then the rain started to come down. Fatties for dinner and then decorating cookies. The power went out on Christmas eve for a little while and we had fun lighting the candles. When the lights went out, Maya went around asking, "who turned on the dark?" Then she would go up to each person and say, "did you turn on the dark?" We let the girls open their gifts from Alana and Tanner and 1 other one and then all went to bed very, very late!
