Christmas with the Murphy's

We don't get a chance to see the Murphy's on Christmas because we always travel. That seems so silly since they are the family we see on a regular basis during the year. We decided to start a new tradition and have a family Christmas party before we all head our separate ways for the holiday. Heather cooked while I did crafts with the kids. She made a delicious dinner and we made picture frames for the cute pictures above. We also made gingerbread houses!!











or gingerbread ????... not sure what that is!

San Diego Zoo

Since I spend so much time in San Diego during the week, I got zoo passes for Boden and I. After lots of begging and zoo talk we finally made another trip to the zoo today.


Bo spent lots of time watching this polar bear play with the ball in the water.










My helper pushing the stroller... the zoo is huge and exhausting with lots of walking and hills!



Pooped! That's exactly how I felt too.... wish I was asleep in the stroller.

Christmas Trees and S'mores

Lisa and Mackenzie started decorating the Christmas tree today. We finished the day with s'mores in the courtyard!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We drove up to San Jose for Thanksgiving and had a great time with my parents!

Lance and my mom were in charge of the turkey!


Into the oven...


Looks beautiful and tasted delicious!!!
The Turners helped us celebrated this year!



I had to take a picture of this because it is so rare... that would be my husband and that would be a football game on T.V. He NEVER watches football but will make an exception for Texas A&M, especially if they're playing the Longhorns.
