San Clemente Sunshine!

Can we say, ahhhhhh, SUN!!!!!! My solar-powered soul got some MUCH needed vitamin-d enrichment while visiting one of my favorite friends! San Clemente was bursting with winter sunshine, so despite the chilly temps, we beached it!

Bo could've played on the beach all day! In fact, he realized that shells...ummmm, well, I actually don't have anything witty to write about why he's holding the shell out in salute to the ocean. It's just a ridiculous picture, so I had to add. : )



Below is our amazing hostess, Colleen, and of course, Davis, her darling son, who Bo LOVES to death. "Davis" is the first friend name he has learned to say!



The picture with the giant Pelican was crucial to the success of the trip.
Bo loved it.



San Clemente also brought Bo a new look! After seeing Bo with his new haircut, I realize my family and friends need to step in sooner. I obviously haven't gotten over the fact my Mom gave me a trendy "pixie cut" before my first day of Kindergarten. Tear.

So I didn't want to cut Bo's unruly mane, but Colleen gently suggested a FUN place to get a trim. What would I do without best friends! Note to mothers of boys, longer hair isn't always better! And mothers of girls, please note that pixie cuts and Kindergarten do not mesh. ever.

Bo was great most of the haircut and he even got to devour his 1st lollipop!



During two beachy days, a mall melt-down, and a Wild Animal Park trek, every car ride home resulted in double pass-outs within 5 minutes.



But Bo and Davis didn't miss a BEAT since their last visit in July!



And what can I say about my lil Dilly-bop! Dylann is one of the sweetest, quietest, most laughable, smiling infants I have ever met! I mean, look at this girl's beautiful face!!!! I miss those dimples already!



Thank you, Dubosts, for so much fun and some much needed SUN!

Sunriver, we will miss you!

When we finally ventured out of the cozyness of our firelit home, we found so much to do!!!
A local gingerbread contest with elementary students! We were amazed.




Our first sleigh ride...EVER!

The Nature Center!


Goodbye and Goodnight, Sunriver!

4 days of Bo, Gus and Hannah!

With no distractions, 20 degree weather, and snowy white panoramic views out every window, we spent the BEST four days of Argenal time in months!

While Bo napped...


We played in the snow!


The gorgeous backyard!


Hardwood carpet rides daily!


Front-row snowflake viewing!


Our UBER-cozy Sunriver retreat!


Bo tried on new foods...
and new hats...
but as always wore tons of smiles and giggles!
Awwwww, we love u, too!
