Christmas 2021

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas! We used our American Express points to have a nice dinner at Benihana's. It was some great food, even if it was pricy. Here is Noah ready to eat dinner!


Opening PJ's and books on Christmas Eve.

Reading before Santa comes!

Eden loves her new PJ's!

Christmas morning!

Santa came, and he delivered!

Grandma and Grandpa knows Eli well!

Really looks like Christmas morning, doesn't it?

Noah enjoying his new bike!

Present from her grandparents.

Sam's parents even supplied Christmas morning for us! Thank you!

All dolled up for Christmas.

Still likes his bike today!

We made a science experiment from their stockings. It worked really well!

Eli got right to his Lego sets.


Happy kids!

We super enjoyed Sam's parents coming. It was one of the best Christmases by far and we were so blessed to have them. Thank you! We love you!

Elijah's 6th Birthday: Legoland!

Elijah really wanted to go to Legoland, as he is our Lego junkie. We had a really great time, and it really helped that there was a one to one ratio of adult to child. I was a little worried because rain was in the forecast, but it lightly sprinkled and the weather was really nice otherwise! Here are the photos of the day:

Walking up to the entrance.

Yep, we're excited!



Waiting for one of the rollercoasters. 




There was live music throughout the park.
This group was cute and sang "Marshmallow World"

Eden dancing to the music.



They had a "Mini Land" where they had a whole Lego set up of every major city!




Hollywood Bowl! Our favorite place in LA.







Look at our fresh 6 year old :)

Enjoying more Grandma time!

There was a "Preschool Driving School" and Eden went several times.
They gave her a driver's license at the end, but maybe that wasn't such a good idea...

Beautiful, wonderful Grandma.

She needed a lot of guidance!



There was a Lego movie land that was super fun!




Fairytale Boat ride!





 
Noah thoroughly enjoyed it!

There was more to explore, but Elijah actually got a little tired and was ready to head home to eat cake and open presents. Overall it was a super fun time and totally recommend it if you have little kids. In fact, we went again for Elijah's 7th! Anyway, we got home and celebrated some more.

Eli's Minecraft cake!

Eli's favorite birthday present! Hidden-side School Lego set. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!
