christmas dinner at the esparzas

this is the adult table...the kids table was too crazy to photograph!

a pf christmas

a bit of a rushed photo since we were leaving for our big road trip early the next morning, but we did manage to squeeze in a little gift opening by our little tree :) and also, the gifts for our 'hosts' along our roadtrip!

kids will be kids

mahala and noble being silly and mahala getting noble to do her math homework :)

more christmas projects

noble decorating his stocking armed with a glue gun and mahala finishing her sickeningly sweet gingerbread house!

sf with my girl

a rare moment for the peter-frank girls. we had a day to ourselves while noble was at school and douglas was at work. we headed into san francisco to go to the de young museum (favorite sculpture seen here) and the japanese tea garden.

grace cathedral christmas celebration

the family sing-a-long at grace cathedral was this past weekend. it's one of favorite places to go at christmas. the kids loved the show and actually sang! the labyrinth is always a hit.

transportation fieldtrip

noble's pre-k went on a transportation fieldtrip...we took the bus to the ferry and sailed to san francisco. when we arrived there, one of the dads (who happens to be a sf cop) had his police car there for the kids to play in. how many 4 year olds can fit in a police car??!!!
