Christmas 2014

Right before school was out, Kendall also had her school holiday performance. She is proving to be a bit more of a performer than Grady. She doesn't mind the attention and seems to be more "theatrical" with her singing and dancing. 

She was adorable- her very first performance! 

   Sheer joy and excitement when she          

           spotted us in the crowd! 

She sang and did the motions and was              just adorable! 

My parents and Jeff, Kenzi, and Aiden were all able to come down and stay with us for Christmas! We got to spend a few days together before Christmas and went  out to Coronado and Jungle Bells at the zoo. Jeff, Kenzi, and Aiden stayed with us, and my parents camped out at the beach in Imperial Beach in their trailer. It worked out well and we also got to spend some time at the beach and enjoy the beautiful weather! 

  

We had to take our (what has now become) traditional silly family Christmas pics! 

We put out cookies and milk for Santa and reindeer food for the reindeer. Then relaxed a bit and had a bedtime snack before going off to bed! 

Christmas morning brought a lot of gifts and some over-flowing stockings! 

It was so fun to be a part of Aiden's very first Christmas! 

Kendall was so excited over the bath "paint" that she got in her stocking that she begged and begged to take a bath and use it. We finally gave in and let her. This required a break from gift opening and gave us a chance to have some breakfast. 

The kids were thrilled with their gifts. Some if the highlights- a magic set for G and a play kitchen for K.

          The living room got trashed!

After Christmas, my parents still hada couple of nights at the beach, so we got to hang at the beach again. The weather was cool and beautiful. 

Nothing says Christmas like s'mores! Mmmmm! What a fabulous holiday season we had!
