Catchin' up!

So I have miserably failed with posting even once a month...Oh well, at least the other things get taken care of on the home-front! The kid's fed, the house is decent, the hubby is happy...

 That being said, here's the backlog of photos from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and in between!

At the pumpkin patch with his preschool:

 Halloween: Lightning McQueen's race car driver

 Dalton's self portrait...guess he wasn't having a good day based on the look on his face.

Fun at the park!

 Before Thanksgiving we took a trip up to my parent's house.  Dalton loves it when we are there! Especially the time with the family!

Dalton sporting his pink shades!

 Thanksgiving with the family at Nanny's:

 Dalton loves his auntie!

 Dalton took this shot..not too bad (even if the red eye reduction made my eyes black).

 Dinner is not complete without the turkey hat made at preschool.

 Getting our Xmas tree:

 The trick is to kick it to see if it's a good one...well at least that's Dalton's rule.

 Trip to the firehouse for a buddy's birthday.  Cool birthday idea: ate pizza, walked to the firehouse, had a fire safety class, checked out the firehouse and truck!

 Here's his buddy, Joaquin, and the rest of his preschool class.  FUN!

December: First dentist visit. He rocked it!  Cleaning, Xrays and all!

Christmas Program at preschool...It was PRECIOUS AND ADORABLE!  

 We took the Polar Express in Sacramento that weekend too!

 Christmas Eve at Nanny's:

 Christmas morning at our house:)  Here's Dalton's present to us, an ornament he made at preschool!

 Just what he asked for from Santa! A Cars carrying case!  BUT even better...A Cars bed from Nanny, Auntie Shirley and Uncle Dan!  SO COOL!!!!

We had an awesome Christmas with the family here!  My dad even showed me how to roast my first turkey dinner and my mom is always a help!   Dalton made Grammy an apron... (She's notorious for ruining shirts while cooking so this should help!)

 Happy Birthday Poppi!

 Then it was time to visit Annika, Matt and Kellyn in Sparks, NV. 
Snowball fight!

 These kiddos LOVE each other so much!  It makes my heart smile! (and tear up:)

 Dalton negotiating with Auntie Niki fruit snacks:)  and messing around with Matt.

We loved being all together and grateful that Matt put up with us for a few days. 

 January started off COLD but we've also had some lovely days...Time to spend outside, like Dalton driving his Jeep at Nanny's.

 AND last weekend was heaven!  First we went to the zoo...Doesn't Trav looked thrilled to be on the train?

We went to visit our friends Jason and Jonifer in Santa Cruz for the day.  It was in the mid-70s!!!! AMAZING!  Trav and Dalton were in the water...burrrrr!  But Dalton didn't care because, well, he's a kid! 

After the fun weekend, Dalton and I had a chill game of Hungry Caterpillar.

 And with that, you should be caught up! 

 Hope 2013 is starting off well for you all!  It certainly is for us!
