Remember Christmas???

That is how far behind I am so here is my quick catch-up so we can get back to the here and now!!

my bro, the wife and their fake family!
This was their get-up for the airport to fly Christmas Eve to CA to spend the holiday with Heather's fam-- yes they went in public like that!

the momma and her baby-- Sienna would not cooperate!

My cute Grandpa reading Twas the Night Before Christmas to the kids before they went to bed!



Oh she loved her big new soft Elmo-- he is now daddy elmo and her smaller one is mommy elmo, no I did not teach her that, she is a genius!!

and baby loved his Cookie!

bedhead and the bewildered stare-- so fun!

crazy about balls, such a boy!!

why did we get him toys?? He had more fun caving in the princess box-- go figure!!

amazed!!



playing cars with Grandma!



cute jammie boy!

this picture says it all about Sienna's Christmas... she soaked it all up all at the same time, the chef, princess, be-jeweled, bike-rider! That's my girl!

And there is the Fabian Christmas in a nutshell!!

back soon!

I know I am been MIA the longest ever since the birth of this blog, things have been so crazy with our big move and getting settled and so many things like not having the internet... DON'T GIVE UP ON US!! We will have-- who am I kidding, there is no we when it comes to the blog-- I will have this thing up and running again in the next week, promise! Maybe eventually you will even get pictures of our darling little starter home, reminder I said eventually!

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

GO CHARGERS!

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!
