Christmas happenings


This is why I love going to Eric's house to open Christmas gifts on Christmas morning. After Grandpa Glen fixes Christmas breakfast and we play with the toys, we go home to a wrapping paper free house.

Toby enjoyed an exciting morning of more than enough presents for several 5 year olds.

Heather is showing her most requested gift from Santa. Part of her present from grandma and grandpa was a trip to Los Angeles and other parts of California with her grandparents. Main destination, The American Girl store in LA. That made her scream!

Julianna was a true Santa's helper and slept through all the Santa madness and gift unwrapping. She was pretty tired after spending Christmas Eve at our house eating chimichangas with the extended family members, making bells jingle, trying to make the step down into the living room, and presenting her best dance moves. It was a jolly good time.


The evening after Christmas we enjoyed the luminarias and musicians at the Desert Botanical Gardens. We got there just as the sun was setting but stayed until long after dark. It was a beautiful night to wander through the gardens.

Our house guests came with us. Next on the agenda for these proud parents is the San Diego wedding of Kyle and Janae!
