End of 2014 Celebration Extravaganza - Don't Stop Until 2015!

Winter Break continued along with a gymnastics day camp at Gold Star in Mountain View (which also gave Mommy a chance to do a lunch and pedicure date with Pam!)









And then it was a play date at the Academy of Sciences with Jeweletta.  She'd never been before and the kids were excited to show it off to her, but unfortunately, EVERYONE ELSE AND THEIR BROTHER was there the same day.  I've never seen the place so packed and it raised everyone's anxiety level.  But the kids still seemed to have fun.












When we finally got fed up with the crowds, we headed out to the playground, where we had to fight some serious winter cold and biting wind (again, that the kids didn't seem to mind).

Caroline and Jeweletta shared a swing

I'm not sure Jeweletta was on board with the concept

it was a tight fit




And then the highlight of the day - we took the bus home!
And we went to dinner at Grandma and Boppy's house, where the kids found the secret stash of mustaches (and hats)!
















And then it was New Years Eve!  Check out my adorable New Years dates (we kissed at midnight Eastern time).












End of 2014 Celebration Extravaganza 3 - Party time continues!

Boxing Day was a thrill for the kids as they got dressed and bundled into the van to drive down to San Jose with Uncle and Wendy to visit with Wendy's family and visit Christmas in the Park.  Having been to the Sonoma County Fair in the summer, the kids were poised to enjoy the carnival atmosphere.

And as if that wasn't enough, we spent the NEXT day at Jeweletta's circus-themed birthday party in Golden Gate Park!
