Cali Trip

We went to Calabasas after Christmas through the new year. Joey, Sabrina, Cameron and Colin were planning to join us there - but they couldn't make it due to all the snow on the East Coast. We had some fun in a much needed dose of sun!

Happy New Year (celebrated a wee bit early).
Ben was not the best sleeper in the pack-and-play so this was the first year in over 25 years that I did not stay up until midnight...which is pretty shocking since I love tradition and most nights I am up until that hour. However-Ben knows his mama pretty well and ensured I was up for the new year. He woke me up at 11:59 with a stinky diaper so I was literally throwing out the old and welcoming the new right as Ben and I entered 2011. Thanks Benny! ;)

Mesh showing Ben the ocean for the very first time...oh the places you will go someday Ben, but preferably you will stay on this side of the ocean and close to home!

Ben's first time sitting on a beach (he first went to a beach when he was 8 days old...but didn't sit in the sand until now.)

Cousins! It is so fun to see how much my kids love their cousins - we hope to see Cameron and Colin soon too, it's been too long.

Disneyland! It was a super busy day but it was still the happiest place on earth. This was Ben's first trip, Riley's second and Nate's third...one of the perks of having a cousin that lives in Southern California.
