Hannah's 7th Birthday!

The Greatest Showman was Hannah's favorite movie, and her favorite character is Anne, the trapeze artist.  SO, we had a family date to Trapeze Arts in Oakland and a family dinner and movie night with her best friend, Olivia.  It was awesome!
Claire and Emmy went to great lengths (including buying new bakeware) to bake the perfect birthday cake for Hannah.







Emmy about to jump!  Our kids were SO BRAVE!! The trapeze was way high up in the air and they just went for it!  I wasn't courageous enough to do it, so I opted for documenting the outing.


Emmy and Clairey's masterpiece.

Daddy and the kiddos did so well!  It was a tangible example of the importance of listening and obeying.  If you don't heed the instructors directions, you fall!  I'm so grateful to say they listened and obeyed perfectly!


Juju flying high!
Brave James!


The Birthday girl!
Nick even made a catch with one of the instructors!








SO HIGH!

Christmas 2017

We visited Santa and then the kids picked out their sibling secret Santa gifts at the little toy shop at Blackhawk Plaza.  Then we indulged our bellies with some pizza.  After changing into jammies in the car, we picked up some hot cocoa and drove around to look at Christmas lights.  What a special night that was!
