Thanksgiving 2017

We spent Thanksgiving here in San Diego this year and it was amazing to have 5 days to be low key and mellow! I totally have the Sunday blues just thinking about going back to work and school tomorrow. But, only 3 weeks until Christmas break.

LJES had a family dance the week before Thanksgiving. We did dinner at Rubio's with Florence and Ryan, then headed to the dance.

Noah bought Soph a corsage at the dance which made her very happy!

Soph and Finn both had Thanksgiving performances in their classes. Sophia's class sang a few songs and taught us the Thanksgiving story. Finn's class did a few songs and each of them wrote and read a grateful poem.

It was a hot Thanksgiving this year! Between camp and the pool, we spent almost every day last week at the Y.

Playing at the park one night. The sunsets have been so beautiful.

We had an amazing Thanksgiving dinner at the McGregor house. This was their "savage" look. We had all the fixings and of course Santoro pumpkin pie.

Florence and Maryanne - the hostesses.

Mouth full of bun! :)

Besties, Soph and Flo

We spent Friday morning down at Windansea playing on the rocks and dodging the monster waves. One of them got us!

Family selfie!

Sophia's dog is slowly falling apart. This little pink dog came from one of those claw games many years ago and for some reason Soph just loves him. He came to Denver, Amsterdam (and all over Europe) and now back to San Diego. He sprouted a hole this weekend so I sewed him up. This was after dog's surgery. So happy!

Fun afternoon yesterday out and about downtown La Jolla. We got coffees and cookies, shopped in the bookstore and Gepetto's, walked to the cove and saw the seals, then settled at the Grand Colonial for chess and happy hour.

Noah was trying not to get his head stuck lol

Oh, we shopped at Francesca's! Unicorn hat, yesssss!

Everyone had to try it of course.

Finn has officially learned how to play chess. He was attempting to teach Soph yesterday. They did pretty well!

Took it way back today and spent the afternoon at good ole Fanuel Park. Such a great park/playground and I miss hanging there. There were kids who had set up a slime stand (like a lemonade stand) and were selling it for a buck a pop.

And that's a wrap - on to December!

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...
