Sea World

We decided to use our Christmas money on Sea World passes. Greg's cousins that live in San Diego joined us for the day. Taylor loved Sea World so I am sure we will be back soon.

Checking out the starfish with Aunt Lisa.

Had to see the Shamu show. Not much has changed in the past ten years. He still jumps pretty high.

Taylor loved playing in the Sesame Street themed kiddie play area.

Taylor was very serious during the shows. She watched them very intently.

Taylor loved visiting all the fish (dolphins, whales, etc.) as she calls them.

Taylor and cousin Annika had a very fun day. We can't wait to visit again soon.

The Beach

We went to San Diego last weekend to visit family and friends. We enjoyed seeing everyone, but Taylor's favorite part of the trip was visiting the beach. She had a blast!

Taylor loved running in the sand.

Taylor and Daddy playing on the sand.

We got close to the water, but we didn't go in.

We loved writing things in the sand with our fingers. I didn't take any pictures of Taylor's drawings.

We got very messy, but it was worth it.

Mittens

Taylor hates wearing her tiny mittens outside, but loves playing with the big oven mitts in our house. She is really good at getting one on, but struggles to get the second on. Luckily, her Daddy likes to help her.

Sleepy Girl

Taylor has been waking up super early in the morning so by lunch time she is exhausted. The other day I look over and she had fallen asleep in her chair.

Let it Snow

We didn't get snow in Las Vegas this year so we went out and found some. We went up to Mt. Charleston last week to have some fun in the white stuff. Taylor loved the snow and didn't mind the cold at all. After playing in the snow for 20 minutes mom and dad were ready to leave, but Taylor had a different idea. Next year we'll bring a sled and have some real fun!

Christmas

We had an amazing Christmas this year. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with family and had a blast. Taylor was so much more interactive this year. She loved looking and playing with all of her gifts.

Christmas morning is here. Taylor loved opening up all of her gifts.

Now it's Daddy's turn.

Wow! A new baby stroller. Someone is ready to be a mommy.
