christmas vacation post #1

ok these posts are crazy long and out of order. we were lucky and blessed to have made it to California for a week during christmas. we left christmas eve day. we got off in vegas to get back on to head to ontario. our plane was coming from seattle, so it was delayed an hour. by the time we got through traffic and made it to bran's parents, we were 2 hours late for dinner. we were just happy we actually made it!!!
our christmas picture. we opened our gifts from each other a couple of days before we left.

me, kris & megan (our cousin)
we had our traditional talent show and chime playing. i played & sang happy christmas for my talent. scary.
playing chimes! this is so fun! very childish, but its so fun!


christmas morning!!!! santa was very generous this year!
thank you bud & dalynda!
our matching socks we get everytime we make it to Cali
having fun christmas morning...i know totally random.
our gift to the parents. they were married in this temple.
we got to go ice skating! i hadn't been in years! no worries, i didnt fall! we had a blast making trains, trying to look pro, throwing "snowballs" and trying to stay up!
bran really did have fun, he just started feeling yucky towards the end.


welcome to the mall! kris and i had lots of fun with our christmas monies!
making yummy sugar cookies
the finished product!!!
bran & austin playing with a fun car!!! almost totalled it twice. broke an axel once and lots of laughs!!!
