Christmas 2015

Christmas 2015 was great! My parents and Jane and Walter came to Denver for the week (Aaron and Amy are roughing it in Thailand). The kids had a fun week off of school with Didi and Bapa, going to every museum they could find. We did Christmas at our house and spent a day in Boulder. We thought about skiing but it was cold (Noah escaped for 24 hours to ride). We had a white Christmas and the kids were totally spoiled by Santa and everyone else. Finn's favorites were a keyboard, world map and magna tiles, Sophia loves her karaoke machine and dress-up clothes and Emmett got a ride-on car that everyone has been lapping the house with. They all got their own suitcases which they love. We packed them up and went swimming at Didi and Bapa's hotel on Sunday.

Last Friday Noah and I went to Finn's holiday party to make gingerbread houses. There was frosting everywhere!!!

Emmett LOVES books. He'd bring them to Bapa and crawl up on his lap.

Finn learned about Solitaire. :)

Doing a Christmas sticker book and learning about baby Jesus. 

Snuggling with Bapa. These two and their fingers/thumbs and blankets!

My mom brought Grandma Lauder's tea set for Sophia so we had many tea parties. They all three actually loved it. 

Noah and Bapa were chopped liver once Walter arrived. 

Nay-Nay too!

We tracked Santa.

And attempted a kid Christmas photo. Wet hair and all. 

Learning his new keyboard.

Cruising on the plasma car.

Our tradition - cookies and wine for Santa. The reindeer got leftover green beans from diner. 

Family photo. Sweet.
What a vision. The karaoke machine came with 2 CDs of music - lots of Britney Spears. 

Fireman dress up outfit

Building the terrarium - we will see what actually grows!

Emmett got a potty from his school. Ha!

The girls on Pearl Street in Boulder. We had a great lunch, shopped and froze our buns off!


Another year. Another tent to assemble! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! XOXO

What we've been up to

It's been cold and snowy! We got almost a foot of snow on Monday afternoon and the kids had a snow day on Tuesday. They got hours of TV in the morning and then Noah came home and we all went sledding. The hill by our house was absolutely packed with kids. We had so much fun. Emmett cried and cried, saying "brrrr" until I threw him on a sled with me and flew down the hill. He cried the first time, and then loved it after that. Sophia and Finn were both so brave. Noah build them a jump and they both flew over it on the sleds over and over again. Finn loves to shovel the sidewalk. Noah snowboarded a couple days over the weekend so Finn was the man of the house - shoveling so Sophia doesn't have to even walk on the snow. Ha! Sledding! I went to a fun wine tasting party with other Teller moms on Saturday night. This was the welcome to the party.  Story time! Oh Emmett.

Sophia turns 5!

Our little bunny turned FIVE last week! I can't even believe it, a whole hand. She took lollies to school for her classmates, and then we had a party at La Jolla Rec Center on Sunday. Complete with a bounce house, pizza and a cake big enough to feed at least 100 people. Seriously, the cake was ridiculous. Apparently I ordered a full sheet instead of a quarter or a half. Oooopsies. I think five is gonna be a great year for Soph. She has made lots of new friends and is so happy to go to school everyday. I'm so happy she's in TK, she is loving it. She got a new bike from us, and lots of cool art stuff from friends, and her first Barbie! She also got another Wonder Woman costume from Nay Nay, thank goodness. Cruisin' on her new ride. Now we just have to get rid of those training wheels.  The actual night of her birthday she requested pasta so we went to Filipi's in PB. Hadn't been there in at least a decade and it did not disappoint. The waitstaff sang her ...

Our trip to Croatia

Helloooo! Well, we've had a few things going on so the blog has been neglected. But I want to post pictures from our last two trips this summer - Croatia and Italy. The first week of August, we flew to Split, Croatia and stayed there for a night at an Airbnb. Split is a big city with a great downtown area full of outdoor cafes, a huge jewelry market and is a main port to a whole bunch of Croatian islands. We spent 5 amazing days in Croatia - we absolutely loved this place. Gorgeous scenery, friendly people, very touristy with people from all over the world and inexpensive.  One of the many beaches in Split...     Noah bought a sweet raft for the kids. He about passed out blowing it up. Afternoon at the beach. Me and Finnster looking for a lunch spot. Sophia became a little fish this summer. She loved all the hotel pools and lakes/oceans/seas we came across. She met a friend this day, Thea, who we played with at the beach all day and then coinciden...
