California Again...

Visiting California this time of year has become a tradition for us. Taking a break from the snow and cold helps us get through the winter. We had a great time visiting my family. It rained the entire time we were there, but that was a lot of fun! Mason and Ellie had a ton of fun playing with Grandma Trish, Grandpa Mike and Aunt Brooke. We ate good food, visited the great grandparents, played the Wii, experienced an 8 hour power outage and watched three seasons of Battlestar Galactica. A vacation couldn't get any better.

During the power outage we had to entertain ourselves
somehow, so Mason and Ellie decided to have a
dance party showing off their cool moves.

Ellie's haircut


Ellie had her first haircut today. Her hair was getting quite long after almost 2 1/2 years. She did really well, no tears at all! Here are some before and after shots. It was a pretty dramatic cut, a little shorter than I wanted, but hair grows back! I still think she looks so cute!

Mason got a haircut today as well. He insisted on a
picture of his new haircut, though it looks pretty
much the same as the last 3 years of his life.
