February

Well, February came and went with nary a post...oops! The kids and I were having too much fun surprising family and friends with a trip to California!

And by surprising, I do mean in Darth Vader masks of course.


There were plenty of dart gun fights...

Playing the back of Grandpa's truck, wagon rides, games of smash ball, and wine...lots of wine...

We made a trip to the beach and pier...

And also just hung out at home. Some of us were repeat visitors to the cracker drawer.

We visited the Great Park (which I hadn't even done as a resident) and rode in the balloon. Henry has developed my love for photos in goofy signs and requested the one below in the earthworm (maybe?) cutout...

We met up with missed friends!

And had plenty of playtime on the pirate raft, swing set, and bikes.

My in-laws even treated me to a fabulous cooking class at PREP Kitchen Essentials (highly recommend to OC locals!) and while it's never enough, we spent time with aunts, uncles, and cousins.



We even made it to Irvine Park for some railroad fun...


Not pictured-a surprise baby shower appearance, a rare dinner date with my best friend, visits to our house, playdates, a few lunches with friends... and then coming home to our favorite guy. It really was a perfect February <3 p="">
