Nutcracker Ballet and picking our Christmas tree Dec 2013

 I surprised the girls last Friday and took them to the Nutcracker Ballet at the California theatre. They were so excited! They both really enjoyed it. Madi got a little antsy the second half but overall did well. They loved when it snowed inside!

 We also went Friday late afternoon to pick out our Christmas tree. Autumn helped pick it this year.

 Then Saturday we brought the tree in and decorated it.

 So fun pulling out all their ornaments they have gotten over the years and telling them about all the ones that I have gotten.

 Finished product. Looks and smells amazing

 They had an area where you could fill a bucket and water a tree, the girls loved that

 In October we went camping in Carlsbad, this was our first time camping with all 3 kids. We had a lot of fun!

 On the last day of our vacation we went to seaworld. Autumn got to pet the sea rays, she thought that was pretty awesome
