Winter in California

It actually rained almost everyday in December here, which I've heard is unusual, but it was still quite warm.  I can't complain about the rain since we won't have any polar vortexes this year.  No matter what, this winter's weather will be a vast improvement over last year.

So we have taken advantage of the weather and done a few outings outdoors.  We visited a farm with Madeleine's bff (Kate aka Kake as Madeleine says).  The farm was so fun and the turkey even let her pet it!  We also go to the park almost daily and walk lots!

We also visited the beach in Half Moon Bay with Brett and Aline.  Madeleine got way too wet playing in the water.  She was so happy though...

and a random cute picture of a clean baby!

We were also able to get our first, real Christmas tree! I was amazed that Brody let us buy a tree because he is usually anti Christmas (or any holiday) decorations.  We were able to look for our tree in just sweaters.  Can't complain...

We did buy the smallest tree in the lot, but it was perfect because we have very few ornaments and now just a few lights.
