Christmas came and went like a blur. Is it just me or does each year go by faster and faster? We still haven’t gotten our house organized. There are still residual presents and Christmas stuff lying around. I haven’t found homes for all the new stuff yet. The kids made out like bandits this year! They pretty much got everything (and then some) on their wish lists. Santa was really lookin’ out! Thanks Santa!

After we got home from spending nearly two weeks in LA, I made it a point to pack up old toys to donate. The kids were pretty good about helping me too. I told them we needed to make room for their new toys. Most of the stuff we donated were Tyler’s toys. Little Kaiya gets to have Nat’s old princess toys. When we went to the donation center, Tyler watched his box of stuff go into the truck and he looked kind of sad.

Uncle Kang was nice enough to play Santa this year

Someone got mustaches as a gag gift so everyone tried them on

We hung out in SF on New Year’s Eve during the day
