A large portion of the Loera clan headed to Long Beach to celebrate Eddie’s birthday. He wanted to check out the Aquarium Of The Pacific with all of his grandkids. Marco and Cesar couldn’t make it but the rest of the grandkids were there and had a great time.

Connor decided to try baby cereal for the first time. I don’t think he liked it much.

The boys woke up at a decent time on Christmas morning and opened their presents. Then we hopped in the car and drove down to San Diego to spend the rest of the holiday with the Loera clan. Connor had no clue what was going on in the chaos of all the kids ripping into presents but seemed to enjoy his first Christmas just the same.

It’s never too early to get your children excited about reading. Not that my boys need any help. They read everyday and have tons of books. It also helps that their dad is a life long bookworm.

To celebrate Gavin’s birthday, the family and I went to see the Dodgers play. It was Jackie Robinson Day at the ballpark so that is why all the players were wearing number 42. After the game, Gavin got to go on the field and run the bases with hundreds of other little fans. The boys were exhausted by the time we started driving home but it was a day to remember.
