Colored EGG at MOCA

Santa came to LA too--the EGG is so overwhelmed by Santa's generosity this year that she
says "mommy, tell santa not to bring so much next year because we already have so many toys we
only need a little more" Hmm...we'll see how long this opinion lasts...

The EGG says "This is the best ever, my favorite!" about most every toy but she
seems really serious about it in regards to the pink chewing gum santa left in her stocking


Celebrating with Christian, Brayden and other cousins later on

Tubing off the road to Tahoe

Fairytale town in Sacramento--not much changed since Mom was young



Papap came along too: the night before at papap's house, the EGG had a warning
for daddy: "one thing daddy, be careful around papap because he bumped into me
a few times" This was a hilarious takeoff on her usual last refrain before bed when
she says "one thing daddy" usually followed by a request for cherry ice cream

The EGG can still get away with just about anything with her brother

Morning hike before heading home. The EGG is a fearless explorer.

Early morning 1 hr boat ride from Ventura to Santa Cruz island. The EGG is thrilled by the dolphins swimming alongside


We stay at the Nature conservancy - only a couple of cars on this 100 sq mile island mean the EGG gets to ride without a car seat for the first time


An island scrub-jay being weighed, measured and banded. The EGG is allowed to release the bird and to choose the colors of its bands
