"Frozen" at the El Capitan

We saw Frozen in 3D with The Gordon's at the El Capitan Theatre and had a blast!!  There was a live show before the movie where the Princess and Queen came out from the movie and it snowed on the audience.  When Sophia got off the elevator at Hollywood and Highland and looked up at all the shops she said "It's like a whole new world"...she has no idea how right she is:) They loved the street performers(although they freaked mommy out a bit...especially the guy dressed as "Chucky"...gross).  After the show we all went to dinner at CPK and made a quick stop at a candy shop before heading home.  What an adventure for these little ones and did I mention Sophia has not stopped talking about the movie? We've been listening to the songs nonstop on youtube and she wanted to dress up as Anna tonight and twirl around the house:) I think it made quite an impression!

Preston's 4th Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Birthday Party

For Presto's 4th birthday he requested a Nina Turtle themed party so mommy of course went all out.  We played pin the pizza on the turtle, we had a ninja turtle bounce house, a ninja turtle pinata, and we also made colored sand Christmas ornaments(hey I figured 'tis the season!). We had 26 kids so that was a lot of kids to get through for the activities but Preston had a BLAST!! It's all he talked about for weeks after.  He was telling everyone at the party that he's now "Four and a half".  Poor guy is so deflated when we tell him he's actually not even 4 yet:(  He literally makes us belly laugh on a daily basis, loves to cuddle with his mommy, loves his trucks and trains, and his best friend is still his bunky:) He loves to hide and sleep under our bed at bedtime and shhhhhh he sneaks in our room every night and sleeps in between us at about 2am.  Recently when I was napping with him he said "Sometimes when I don't hold your hand I feel all alone and it makes me feel sad"...awwww.  He truly is the sunlight of our family and we are so proud of him in every way.  Love you Preston John...we cannot wait to see what your future holds!

Thanksgiving 2013

 We had a really awesome Thanksgiving this year.  We spent it at Grandma and Grandpa's new house and Nana and Nonno celebrated there with us! So fun to have everyone in the same place.  The kids loved running around the new house! Presto and Phia both said a prayer before our yummy turkey dinner.  We are so blessed to have both sets of Grandparents close by to share the holidays with:)  Oh and Olivia was perfecting her new "sitting up" skill!!
                  WHAT PRESTON IS THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR(so happy we came first!)
