Paul's Birthday and New Year's Eve

Happy 32nd birthday!  We celebrated the evening before at Scott and Tina's and then spent Paul's birthday day at Sea World.

Pretty funny!

Both my parents and in-laws all have passes too, so we all went.  Sure makes taking 4 kids to a theme park much easier!

Still enjoying Christmas.

Shaving cream in the bath is the new fun thing.

Luca relaxing in his new chair he got for Christmas.  He outgrew the bouncer, but we still wanted something to sit him in, ahem...contain him, and this is perfect!  He can use it up to 30lbs as a rocking chair too!

The were ready and excited for the New Years Noon party!  We had 10 families and lots of kids to ring in the new year a little early!

Luca's first New Year!!!


Luca was happy and playing as we waited up until midnight.



Love this!  First time with all of them doing sparklers.





Little voices saying Happy New Year.

Settled in to watch our $10 fireworks display.

It was perfect for the price!

Matteo making music with Daddy's beer.  No, he's not drinking it! =)

The later it got, the wilder the kids.  Here they were riding/dragging Rudolph around the house.

By the end, we were all fading fast...except my Abuela.  She was ready for a party!  Too funny.

Sebastian was determined to not fall asleep even though he was a complete zombie.  He had to stay up for the New Years party.  His brothers crashed around 11, but he made it - this is about 5 till.  Poor guy!

Happy 2012!!  Literally in the last 60 seconds Luca woke up and I didn't want to miss it, so I dragged the poor kid out for the final seconds of his birth year, snapped a picture, hugged and kissed everyone and rushed him back to bed.  Luckily he went back to sleep!

First Trip to Sea World

We bought passes to Sea World for 2012, but were able to use them the starting in December.  Sebastian hadn't been backs since he was about 15 months or so and Matteo and Luca had never been!  We had such a great time enjoying the Christmas decorations and seeing the kids all light up and enjoy the shows so much!  I'm sure we will be visiting a lot this year!


Matteo was very excited to see Pet's Ahoy show.  He stood the whole time.


Luca doesn't look too excited here, but the show would start and he would start waving his arms around and laughing!

Matteo always seems to have a poker face, but he did let loose a few big smiles during the dolphin show, our favorite.

My penguins.  Matteo LOVED the penguins.  So much so that I snuck back around and bought him a little stuffed penguin friend to give him for Christmas.

Sharks!!!!

We were very surprised the Matteo was the first one that wanted to hug on Shamu!  It was so adorable.  Afterwards, he proudly told us that he hugged the penguin. HAHAH!

Good shot of the kids!

Sebastian loves all the rides, especially the Kiddie RollerCoaster, the Shamu Express.


Can you find Luca??  =)

Ahh....the Elmo show that we waited for 45 minutes to get a seat....

Thankfully, a friend told us that the Christmas Show was soooo worth the wait.  So we lined up for an hour to get seats.  The kids snacked and were so good.  And the show was absolutely one of the most incredible and inspiring productions I have ever seen about the birth of Christ.  AMAZING.

O Wondrous Night.  I had chills it was so good.
