the closest thing to a vacation for us!


**WARNING** this will be the most picture-filled post in Fabian history-- read on if you dare!!
If you have been missing us (for my 3 readers) we have a good excuse... SUNNY SAN DIEGO!! Our trip highlights were family, friends, the beach, no winter coats, and getting all those days with our daddy! We got to do some fun Christmas things with the family, visit some friends, eat at our favorite places, and play at the beach and we came home worn out!


Sienna and her friend Ava at the park



Malachi wrestling his cousin Noah


Mac and Grandpa Carlos



Sienna watching Dora at Grandma's on her wanna-be chair

GINGERBREAD HOUSES


almost everyone

Sienna had to sit on Noah's chair right behind him


team Omar and Cynthia


Sienna LOVES Uncle Pablo and was constantly getting in his face trying to get his attention




Aunt Michelle helping Sienna break in some of her new toys

GO CHARGERS!

Kailey showing the kids her cat



then the poor cat had a stalker

the kids playing during the game!



A funny picture of the trip! We ran to Walmart to grab something and as we walked through Sienna ran over to this horse and picked it up then turned and started walking to the front like she was ready to go!

THE BEACH


Sienna running on the boardwalk



being tourist-like


family picture with Grandma Maria


time with Grandma at the beach





this kid LOVES the sand!




climbing the sand hill




we went to the beach one afternoon while Omar got some surfing pictures taken and then surfed-- this kid was trouble!!




he threw it


she ran away from me a million times


he dug with shovels


they played with cousins


he laughed at Noah



he dug with those big hands



he squealed



they played instead of watching the amazing sunset




maybe he watched!?!?



Noah and Sienna chased each other and ran around-- they love each other!



as if Malachi did not get enough sand on his head by throwing it in the air Sienna helped with a little more!


we walked to the water's edge to look for Omar surfing and Sienna ran toward a wave- it knocked her down and her head went under-- she got up and said, "The water got me Mommy!"


this is how tired the beach makes you-- look at that drool!



the surfing car clan!

COMING HOME

Late night flights delayed makes for chaos!

What?!?!?



Wouldn't you hate to sit in front of us?? Luckily it was kids!


and this was the final product at midnight waiting a 1/2 hour for our baggage!

THE END!

I'm soooooo happy I got to have a girls night with you while you were out here! Let's definitely make that a tradition! :) I sent the CD of all of Omar's surfing pictures to you yesterday morning so hopefully you'll get it on Saturday! Can't wait to hear which ones are your favorites! I was even able to impress Corey...he said I could sell the silhouettes (so if O is interested in becoming famous for stock photography let me know)! Love ya!

What a great time to escape to the beach. I am jealous. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I love that picture of you climbing the sand hill with the kids. They sure keep you busy. Can't wait to see your new house when you get all settled in. Congrats! We need to get together!
