E’s jogathon was moved earlier to end of fall semester this year (vs. beginning of second semester last year) in December.

Flashback to last time where he had just knocked out his front teeth and we can’t help but be grateful to run freely and for him to drink water on his own!

Got that feet in the air form there.

We might need to work a little on even pacing. He would surge and then bonk… to a walk. :D But he never stopped moving, yay!

Appreciate a big smile as last jogathon he couldn’t open his mouth.

School buds.

He said he’d be happy with anything more than last year and we ended up with almost double the number of laps.

Meanwhile, Daddy took the train to LA for a meeting and company holiday party. We might’ve tagged along, if not for the Hogathon.

Their team caught a hockey game.

Neat STEM event at a new to us library. They are just about to launch the program officially so all the sets were brand new.

Mommy had a bit of fun, too — making these glasses with a 3-D pen.

First time at this library branch in Point Loma and liked all the cool nautical touches.

Chilling after soccer at a new cafe.

On a daddy/son play date.

Hanging with Mommy at a coffee shop on an early release day.

An elf visit at another library.

Followed by sharing our Christmas list with Santa himself!

Fun holiday activities all around. Hello, Olaf!

He really got a kick out of seeing Cindy Lou and Grinch because their class received a special grant this year to go see The Grinch at the Old Globe Theater.

Where is E?

Local Christmas event.

We’ve been to Coronado quite a few times but never got to stroll along the water.

Christmas Eve dinner — not the best experience here as we waited longer than people who came after us for service and then due to some details lost in translation, the bill was pretty surprising. BUT, decided to maintain a generous holiday spirit and let it go. :)

Woke up to double rainbows on Christmas morn! It was such a nice, simple day — sleeping in (the boys at least!), slowly opening presents and then wearing PJ’s all day. :)

Oh and our Christmas card this year:

A few other fun takes:

Hadn’t seen the Liu’s in awhile so happy to meet for a playdate — shared his Bakugan balls Christmas present.

Made some new year shades… Countdown to 2020!
