Thanksgiving 2014

In celebration of Thanksgiving...we had TWO dinners!  We celebrated with Daddy's family and then with Mommy's family and the Pizzicas at Mimi and Grandpa's condo in Oceanside!  

We had LOTS of fun!

 The Viora Family Thanksgiving photo...so nice to see everyone...and Sloane is always excited to see all of her fun relatives!

 Sloane's favorite Thanksgiving dish....green beans!!

 Daddy and Peyton both enjoyed a turkey leg!

 If there's a pool....Sloane's in it...and boy did she have fun!

 The day after Thanksgiving we went for a boat ride in the Harbor...Sloane loved seeing the other boats and all of the birds flying around!

 Even "cousin" Peyton got to drive the boat!

 Sloane enjoyed going for walks in the double stroller with "cousin" Hudson...they had so much fun getting to know each other!

A beautiful sunset end to a lovely long weekend!

Fall Fun in Borrego!

In anticipation of Thanksgiving...we headed out to Borrego for a small gathering of family fun and feasting!  Sloane and company had a great time enjoying the beautiful fall desert weather!

 Sloane loved practicing her new walking skills ALL over the house!

 She also loved Nonna's decorative chair that turned out to be just her size!

 Just a couple of gals hanging out and texting.

 Grandpa has always wanted a wooden Indian and he finally found one at a shop in Borrego! 

 And then there was the pool!  Sloane just LOVES the pool...you can tell by these pictures that it is definitely her happy place!

 She loves diving off the side and into the water!

 Swimming over to Grandpa.

And swimming with Papa.

 Hanging outside for happy hour with the grown-ups.

Good times!

Palm Springs Fun!

We took our annual trip to Palm Springs with Mimi and Grandpa and the Pizzicas.  We had so much fun checking out the Palm Desert Children's Museum and the Living Desert...but we had the MOST fun catching up with "cousins" Peyton and Hudson!

 Sloane loved going for a walk with Daddy!

 Outside the Palm Desert Children's Museum

 Sloane loved hanging out with her "cousin" Peyton!

They had a blast at the museum!

 Daddy got in on the fun too!

 Sloane loved watching Peyton paint this old VW Bug!

 Playing dress up

 What a great day!

 Sloane and Hudson hanging out together... 

...Aunt Emilee and I have similar pictures from when we were this age!

 Peyton joined in too!

 We also had a great time checking out the Living Desert...such a cool little zoo in Palm Desert!

 Sloane loved the petting paddock and watching the goats walk all around her.

Mimi and Grandpa came too!  We all had a great time!
