Pearl is 6!

Well, almost, but we have had a slew of celebrations in anticipation for the day (tomorrow the 13th).  She had a one-on-one party with her bestie, Leif.  Then last night family came over to celebrate.  Today four classmate friends are coming over to play and celebrate.  We decorated the basement and created play stations.  Surely there is enough to keep them happy for two hours!  It is difficult to believe that she is already 6 years old.

Palm Springs 2013

We were lucky enough to spend the week between Christmas and New Years in Palm Springs.  The weather was perfect everyday and we did little but hang out at the pool meeting interesting people and having fun.  We also saw our friends from San Diego which was an unexpected treat!

Random Pics

Last weekend we had friends over and we made S'mores in our fire pit.  It was the first official use of the pit.  The S'mores were good and made it feel like summer lasted just a bit longer.



We also went to the pumpkin patch last weekend.  We did not get any really good pictures but Eric liked these, so here they are.

First day of 6th grade

Carli started 6th grade this week.  And although she is excited for school, she is less excited to allow me to take any pictures.  I literally had to hold her down!  Let's hope Pearl is more agreeable to pictures next week when she starts kindergarten.
