Aquarium Day

Since the weather won’t seem to give us a Sunny Day we headed down to one of Lola’s favorite places, the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. Lola made sure her brothers didn’t miss a fish. They even had to pet some sea stars and sea cucumbers. She’s practically capable of being a tour guide herself. Then we went for a sugar fix at the Ghirardelli Ice Cream Shop. It was sweet. mmmmm

The Prewitt’s went to play Bocce Ball

Finding an indoor activity since it’s been raining was a must. We went to play bocce ball at this place a few miles away. What’s Bocce ball you might be wondering…? Well it’s like bowling sort of and it’s very distracting for a 3 year old to watch, because she wants to take the shiny little ball and play with it herself. It was pretty fun and we had lunch there.

Explore with Me!

All the fun places we usually go are so fun to share with the Bubbas. Lola was so excited to take them to the kids museum. The boys happily played along. The rode the old fashioned stage coach. Let her make them pizza at the kids cafe and Eric helped her make a dragon cat puppet in the art center. Afterwards we walked downtown to eat and came across a carnival that had rides from Michael Jackson’s Neverland.

The age of naked barbies has arrived

Lola has just realized that she can take the clothes off her princesses and barbies. She gives them baths and trades their clothes, then of course comes to momma to help redress them.

Christmas with the boys

New Records

New Boots

New Princess

New YoYo

Homemade Dolly and Blanket

Making something homemade for our little doll has been fun this year. I knitted on this blanket once a week for an hour while she was at dance. I liked having her ask “is that for me?” I ‘d always say yeah, but it’s for Christmas. Modeled after Lola this doll was my first attempt to make a waldorf style dolly. Very fun and sweet, and now I’m ready to make many more.

Me and my Bubbas

We think Lola was slightly more excited about her brothers coming to visit than Santa bringing her Presents. She woke up the morning after Christmas and asked are the bubbas here! So we had to show her the flight tracker to show her where their plane was flying from. She dressed herself and even put her shoes on, she was sooo excited.

Christmas Morning

Merry Merry Christmas! How wonderful it is to have a little one to see the awe of Christmas morning. She loved her new puzzles that Uncle Brian and GiGi made. She was sooo excited about her new ‘sewing’ machine that Grammy sent. And she wouldn’t take off her new tights and shirt that Granny and Papaw sent from Kentucky that had Princess Tiana on them. Also you can see her new tent that Santa brought with some princess games.

Zoo lights

On a chilly night we ventured over to Oakland to see the zoo lights. Sadly, It was more like a donation to feed the animals rather than to experience the amazing lights…. We all enjoyed the night time train ride though.

Finally some fresh air!

It’s been a rainy week or so and we finally had a chance to run around outside.
