Great-Grandma

Great-grandma is 90 years old and we love coming to see her at Christmas.  It helps make the trip completely worth all the driving and packing during the holidays.  It's always so sad to say goodbye but we are so grateful for the time we get to spend together and know that there is always next year.  We love you Grandma!!!

The Beach

It wasn't fast or pretty and it was very hot but I did an 8 mile run from Todd's house to the beach.

It was such a beautiful and warm day - I can't believe it is December.  The kids played in the water for hours and even had to put on sunscreen!

Disneyland

We knew we had to take Luana to Disneyland so we braved the crowds and had a blast.  Disneyland was so much fun and so festive.  I loved all the lights and Christmas themed rides. 

Merry Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year.  It was so fun to have Luana with us too!  

Christmas Eve Dinner

Christmas Eve dinner was as delicious and fun as always.  The kids got poppers with fun crowns in them too.  Then we ended the night with the kids getting their new pj's and a picture in front of the tree and the adults playing games.  Then we leave out cookies and notes for Santa and the kids head for bed.
