Makenna's big day!

Makenna just decided one day that she was done with the training wheels.  We took them off and her friend Cecilia rode her bike over about the same time.  She taught Makenna what to do and she took right off!  10 minutes after learning, she rode her bike over to Cecilia's house down the street!  Silly girl.
 she insisted on all the padding- haha


Well then after weeks of having a wiggly tooth and it practically falling out of her mouth, she pulled her second tooth out.  The tooth fairy came that night, but Cami was awake, and the tooth fairy doesn't leave money unless everyone is asleep...  (I was out till late with the Young Women in my ward and totally forgot!  DOH!!)  So... when the tooth fairy has to come back she leaves something extra special.  Makenna was really excited about that!

Here is the note she had Scott write...

The tooth fairy left her a fancy barbie toothbrush and the usual dollar!  She was excited!!  (phew!)

Jace wanted a picture too...

Sheffield family pictures






friends

I had a little party at my house for all my high school friends that were in town.  It was so fun and we all felt like we were in high school again!  I can't believe it's been 10 years... CRAZY!!!  It was SOOO nice to see them!


So good to see my sweet friend Megan and her new baby Caleb

SD ZOO!

We took a trip to the World famous San Diego Zoo!  It was kind of strange being somewhere I hadn't been since I was a kid because I kept having strange flashbacks!  Scott had to put up with a smorgasbord of lame memories from my childhood!  We walked most of the zoo on foot, and then realized why they provide a free tour bus ride... it's steep man!  We were pretty tired by the end of the day and saw a lot of stinkin animals!  We came to the conclusion that although it is MUCH prettier and well-kept, our zoo isn't so bad after all and doesn't make you nearly as tired!!!  It was definitely worth it though.

Being a monkey at the San Diego Zoo is the bomb!

 Our favorite animal for sure





many a memory at the petting zoo!

Beach in December

We went to the beach as much as we could while we were in California.  It was dreamy weather.  Warm enough that the kids were dying to go in the water and went in with their clothes on!  I had to get some new swim suits for them. (in December!!)  LOVE it!!

Cami's first time at the beach...  I think she liked it!



Jaclyn and me

Jaclyn, mom, me

Jaclyn's man-crush Taylor

 If you know my husband you know he wears a Glidden shirt pretty much every day!  He was excited that Dad decided to rock one...









I think it's safe to say the beach is our favorite thing to do as a family!

christmas

On Christmas Eve, we did the traditional opening of christmas jammies and ornaments.  



Then the kids acted out the nativity.  Makenna was a cute Mary with her snowman baby Jesus.  :) 

 The adults stayed up talking and doing the "fun stuff"

Excited on Christmas morning!!

Makenna went straight to the cookies and milk!
