It was the Hawaii trip, then we headed straight into Christmas, and then it was prep for the Rose Parade and New Year's!
I had a few days of scheduled craziness in Pasadena, and then Sho brought Kara and Ben to Bakersfield, where did a parking lot exchange and then the older kids came back with me to Pasadena for a few days of fun.
They got to see the floats up close and learn about what makes these floats to special and beautiful...
They got to see "mommy's work" and read some of the dedications on the roses... and Kara received many compliments on her tiara, which has now replaced her silver headband that she used to wear almost daily.
We visited the Natural History Museum, since the kids have been asking to go back for two years. We saw the dinosaur bones, the gem stones, the gardens and spent time in the science lab...
And then we decided to see "Frozen" since Ben didn't get a chance to see it as part of Kara's birthday gathering with her friends.
On New Year's Day, with beautiful southern California weather, we watched the parade with all the other Donate Life supporters and cheered for our float!
And then we hopped in the car and headed back to Kingsburg so we could celebrate New Year's with the rest of the family. I can't believe there is just one day left of Kara's winter vacation!! If you think I look tired.... I am. Pictures do not lie. I finally got to come home and sleep in and I awoke to a good morning kiss from Jason... Life is good.
Here's to a wonderful new year!
