Christmas 2013 - Part 1

We had the best Christmas ever!  This was the first year we didn't celebrate the holiday at my parent's house so I tried really hard to make is as special as my mom always does.  Marc arrived on Sunday and my mom, dad and Julie on Monday.  We had so much fun - played, ate, drank and ran after the kids.  It was 75 degrees and sunny.  Not to Christmasy but beautiful!  We headed to the beach Christmas Eve day and spent lots of time outside and at the park.  I took a million pictures so here are just a few.  Miss my family already - can't wait to see you again soon!

Park with Marc!

A whole lot of wrestling went on this week :)

And snuggling

We squeezed in some cookie baking on Monday.

Even Lucy got presents!

Just the first of many HUGE meals we ate.

 

The kids early xmas present from my parents, a wagon! Ryan is obsessed.

December 24th in San Diego.  Sunny and 75 degrees without a cloud in the sky.

Nothing phases this crazy kid.  Not even freezing water!

Of course Ryan had to join in on the fun.  Although, he wasn't so into the cold water.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Ryan's bud.

LOVED the cranberries!

Santa, Mrs. Claus and Rudolph sure had a feast.

Which Ryan could not stay away from.

Who cares about presents, Santa left some cookies!

Thanks for the cool hat Uncle Marc

 Finally, her first electronic game!  Nana and papa bought her a leap pad and she loves it!

 Now we are heading off to Groveland to see Josh's family!!  More pictures to come!!
