On the last day of school before their two week Christmas break, both Lauren and Milli had little Christmas programs. They were so cute, and they both did awesome!
On the first day of break, Stacia's Activity Day girls were going ice skating, so I took all the kids along. They had a blast. They were all very timid at first, but by the end they were skating around like little pros!!

 |
| Lauren LOVED it! |
 |
| All the kids :) |
A few days later we all decided to go to the Santa Barbara Zoo. It was a beautiful day, It is still so weird to me that this is winter, but I am enjoying every minute of it!
 |
| Watch out Stacia, there's a Giraffe behind you! |
 |
| I always knew he was part monkey :) |
 |
| Lauren and Micah |
 |
| They had a really fun dinosaur show. The costume was pretty good, if those human legs weren't sticking out, the kids would have been a bit scared. |
 |
| Lauren loves the Elephants! |
 |
| Stacia and Brooke |
 |
| They have an ant hill that the kids can slide down. They love it, and would play all day just on that. |
We also spent a day at a natural butterfly preserve. All those dark clumps of "leaves" are actually thousands of Monarch butterflies. It was a truly amazing sight! They migrate here every December and stay through February.
 |
| We walked out to some cliffs overlooking the ocean. |
 |
| The kids had fun climbing trees. |
On our way home we stopped at the Santa Barbara Mission. It is beautiful and we learned some history.
