Christmas came and flew this year.
But it was a good year spent with family.
On Christmas Eve we all got together and ate delicious beef brisket,
listened to a great message about Christ from Dave and watched a little video clip about the Savior and the Atonement.
The kids sang Christmas songs and put on a little performance for us.
Then we opened our Christmas jammies.
It was so fun to watch the kids get excited for Santa!
Christmas day we woke up, opened presents and ate delicious homemade cinnamon rolls. (sorry no pictures)
It was a great Christmas and we are so glad we were able to spend it with family!
A few days after Christmas, my mom, Julianne, Jeremiah and Josh all came to visit. We missed my dad, but he had to stay back because of work. We all squished in our little one bedroom apartment, but it was nice and cozy and there was just enough space.
We went shopping, enjoyed Sprinkles cupcakes and loved hanging out.
We went down to Balboa and rode the ferry and rented bikes which was the highlight of the trip! We love to do this when family comes in town. It makes for some great laughs and ride along the beach!
Then we went to Newport Coast and went on a little hike. It was great to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine.
We really enjoyed our Christmas break with no work, family, play and delicious food!
i wanna do all that when i come!!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Marie,
ReplyDeleteSorry it's taken me forever- we have to speak in church so I have been preoccupied with that. So glad when Sunday will be over! Anyway, I finally had a chance to look at picnik and I played around with not very good results. I think I just want to do the title of my blog, not a picture. Like how did you do that CPA certified thing? THat's so cute. I've been looking at all your sisters blogs and there's are all darling. So what do I do with just words. If you want to email me instead of doing comments my email is matthewsfam81@gmail.com.
You are so sweet! Thank you!
