The Big Bear Adventure - 
We spent the weekend (Friday thru Sunday) at Big Bear at our friends' cabin on the mountain.
It was total adventure where we fit 4 families total 18 people (8 adults, 8 kids) into a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom cabin. But it was so cozy and so much fun. The kids just love hanging out together and get along great for the most part. My daughter had taken 5-6 dress up dresses so the girls loved playing with those and the boys were mostly either wrestling and running or playing on ipad's.

We had 3 decent opportunities of snow play. Twice on Saturday with the whole group and Sunday morning just with the dads and the kids while the Mommies packed and cleaned up.
It started snowing while we were there so with the street behind the house covered in snow created an awesome hill for kids to sled down. With no lines and no need to drive anywhere.
We ventured to town for lunch and ordered dinner in.
The first night the kids took *forever* falling a sleep but by the second night they crashed easily. Both nights as soon as they were a sleep we started playing games and drinking and it was a blast.

Who is Wearing Kika? - Meet Wanda

The Chill Factor

Today's faux fur vest outfit was inspired by this 2 year old Piperlime ad:

It is really really hard to look slim in a faux fur vest. And since this ruffle and tulle hem top is a tank top I had to also wear a long sleeve top which added a bit of a bulk but I think it was OK...

Vest - Kenza

Linen top - Charlotte Russe

Top - Target

Jeans, necklace - Forever 21

Boots - Madden Girl

TODAY:
Didn't have it in me today to trek to the annual balloon parade on the San Diego Bay that we go every year. So we stayed home for a while then took the kids to the mall to exchange some of the clothes I got my husband for the correct sizes and met my mom there. That seemed to have filled our day.
We are getting ready now for a big adventure that will start tomorrow afternoon!

Going to Big Bear to stay at our friend's 3 bedroom cabin. It will be 4 families, so 8 adults and 8 kids in a 3 bedroom 1 bath house for 2 nights! Should be interesting. We are somewhat treating it like camping packing beds and linens and towels etc... The kids are super excited to see snow and so are we.
My goals for tomorrow is finish packing up the whole family, run errands such as bank and post office, put away all the Christmas decorations and IF THERE IS TIME head to Target to see if Can find a last minute snow boots. As my husband pointed out among my 90+ pairs of shoe collection not a single pair of snow boots if you can believe it! I have ski boots and uggs but nothing to actually play in the snow. We'll see... Not packing any blog worthy outfits but will take some photos to share when we get back...

I will also schedule my last 'who is wearing Kika?' post while I am gone...

Oh, a quick share of the kids with their new electronics....
