Christmas by the ocean

We just got home from Mendocino California. It was a long drive but the kids did great. It was so incredibly beautiful spending every morning eating breakfast while looking out at the ocean. My uncle owns a beautiful Bed and Breakfast and it was really fun to stay in these cute little private cottages right off the coast. The Redwoods were absolutely incredible! It was still too cold to really play at the beach but we collected a lot of glass at "glass beach". I wish we lived closer to my family so we could get together more often. But I'm grateful we get the opportunities that we do. It was nice to get away, this Christmas was really hard but it couldn't have been spent with better company. Gavin had a great time being able to play outside, though I missed the snow. I have so many pictures I better make a slide show but here are a few for tonight.I was so happy that they both smiled!

Gavin and his "airpwane"and "nake"

If you look closely Max's onesie says "I'm with stupid"...haha. He was a good sport though.

The view from the window where we ate breakfast...I love the ocean!

Max loves his jumparoo!

Such a happy guy!

Max got his very own train, unfortunately Gavin doesn't care and we are learning to share.

I love this guy! How about his little haircut? I gave in and trimmed it two inches before our trip. It was hard to get him to hold still. I didn't dare go shorter. I love his hair.

These boys are so spoiled!This is my tree, it's nothing like my mom's fourteen trees but we like it. Most all the ornaments have some significance or do something entertaining for Gavin. Andy proposed to me via snowman, needless to say we collect snowmen for our tree.
