SoCal

We are spending our holidays in Lake Arrowhead, California. We are having a great time and are really enjoying the weather! Brilee is loving being around her California family, and today we were lucky enough to meet up with some of my cousins. It was so fun to see them. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! 
Brilee did so good on our drive. Jake and I were prepared for the worst, but Brilee was better than we ever could have imagined. She slept, played with her horse, and ate suckers. 
GGMA gave Brilee a rocking horse for her first California advent, and Brilee LOVES it! Her Dad loves watching her ride it because she is a "natural." She gets on and starts kicking the horse, and when she is done riding she gets off all by herself (even dismounting on the correct side!)
When she pinches the horse's ear it neighs at her, moves its head, and shakes its tail. 
Brilee LOVES sharing her dinner with the dogs. She eats a goldfish and then feeds a goldfish to the dogs. After she feeds them she laughs and laughs. 
Daisey thinks it is pretty fun having Brilee here (especially during dinner.)
My Grandma and I baked an apple and berry pie today. It was so fun baking with her and having her teach me her baking secrets. Unfortunately, the pies were half eaten by a cute German Shepherd!
Brilee and her cousin Addison. She is such a cute girl!
Addison, Grandma, Benjamin, and Brilee all hanging out at GGMA's.
Brilee loved Benjamin. She kept hugging him and we had a hard time getting her to loosen her grip on him.
The whole crew!
Brilee loves crawling all over the dog bed.
