Happy Birthday to Me!

During my birthday week this year. I had visitors. Dan and his family came for their spring break and Rachel and the girls were down for one of Rachel’s friends wedding. Dan and his family went down to Disneyland for 3 days. Mom, Rachel, Jocelyn, Callie & I were excited to tag along for a day.

Mr. Toad’s Wild Bunch

We got 8 fast passes but everyone else was having fun at other attractions. Soooo….Josh, Dan and I went on Splash Mountain 3 times in a row.

Beach Trip & Dinner

While Dan, Genni and family & Rachel and the gilrs were here we took a beach trip to Carpentaria. We buried Emma and Jocelyn in the sand. It is always a great day at the beach with family.

Sea World

Aunt Nancy came down for President Day weekend, they flew out with Grandma so she could stay for spring. My cousin Zaak he wife Autumn and the daughter Bella also joined us down form Monterey, CA. Zakk’s family, Aunt Nancy and I took a trip down to Sea World. It was great fun!!

Bella could only talk Aunt Nancy to go on the spinning jellyfish. Okay really the rest of get a little sick to go on them.

 

Christmas Day

Christmas Day was so much fun with a house full of family. I wish
I took a picture but this year Christmas was brought to us mostly by Amazon Prime. I swear we were getting a package a day from them.

Marie and William loved the giant color posters I got for them.

Callie was so thrilled to be photographed she cried. I believe she was just tried and want to go to bed. Who doesn't love a little Santa Claus booty pajamas?

William insisted I take a photo of his Lego's and Anne wanted to beautify me for the evening.

Christmas Eve

William, Marie, Anne and Jocelyn sat down and wrote letters to Santa Christmas Eve.

Here is Williams letter.

Who doesn’t love need a little Samuel love!!!

Every year we do a Christmas Eve Fondue Dinner. This was no disappointment. Our family is not photo happy at all. As you can tell.

Every Christmas Eve mom gets the grandkids Pajamas and a book.

This is the best it is going to get this year.

More Christmas Eve

Forgot to add these photos into my Christmas Eve post

Back to Christmas

I have been MIA for a few months. I have been busy with work, school and just needed a break from blogging. I know sad right…but I have a few minutes this morning. Now on to Christmas 2012. We had Bethany & Brandon’s family, Stephen & Alisha, and Rachel & Cory here this year.

Rachel and Cory decided to have Calli’s baby blessing (this is where Cory give’s her a special blessing about her and her name sake) here since all their family is mostly out here. We held it here at our house. Mom told us we were only excepting about 12 people. Ha! just a little more then 12!

Samuel (Bethany’s youngest) just woke up from a nap. He would only cuddle with Uncle Stephen.

Marie and Anne are such characters.
