After tons of planning, shipping and worrying, we survived our first plane trip and it really wasn't too bad. The boys did great! Matter of fact, Jeremy slept the whole way both ways! I'm thinking that he's tricking us into traveling more :-)
We headed to LA at 6pm on Xmas eve. Turned out to be a good time to travel for the boys since they usually go to sleep around then anyway. We bought 3 seats to guarantee that we'd have a whole row and paid an extra $10 to guarantee early boarding. Both investments turned out to be a great idea since every seat on the plane was booked.
We landed in LA and Grandpa greeted us with the SUV and car seats already installed. We rented 2 car seats and had them delivered to PV so we'd have less to carry and check-in. Turned out to also be a great investment.
The next morning (Xmas), we headed over to Uncle Brian & Auntie Cara's house. Cousins Cameron and Hayden were losing their minds with all the gifts under the tree. We spent hours going through all the gifts and Jeremy even joined in with his older cousins and tried to play with the big boy toys. We had a fun and exhausting day and evening.
Brian, Cara, Mark and I managed to break away for a couple hours to check out the new Terranea hotel in PV. We had a drink and hung out for the sunset. Beautiful!
On Sunday, Mark and I managed to take a quick getaway to Santa Barbara. The grand parents graciously watched the boys OVER NIGHT, so we could get away. It was so nice having a little break and checking out the town. We even managed to sneak in a quick bite at In-and-Out.
Back in PV, we even managed to take the kids for a quick stroller ride in Hermosa Beach. First time seeing the ocean... not sure they were too impressed :-)

So fun! Looks like an amazing holiday season! Those boys are pretty darn cute! :-)
(I'm also taking mental notes to prepare for the future... you and Mark are smart cookies.)
