It's already the new year and we're just getting back home from our California Christmas; it's taking us a few days to get things together. We really had a great trip and and a wonderful Christmas, despite the fact that all of us had a head cold and all of us caught a really awful stomach bug. I intend to write more about the whole trip, but if I don't get there...bear with me. Here are a few of the highlights.
- I ran into an old high school friend at a McDonald's in Nevada, totally random, but so fun to catch up for a quick minute
- The Sierra's were just beautiful to drive through!
- Officer got to meet his baby nephew for the first time.
- Miss Peanut and Handsome loved hanging out with all the cousins.
- Handsome couldn't get enough of Grandpa and his tractor.
- In &Out Burger
- Christmas eve... Christmas story with the grandkids, videography thanks to Jed - hillarious!
- Snuggling up by a cozy woodstove with Officer
- Christmas morning we didn't get up until almost 9 - mostly cause we were up with barfing kids all night, but still sleeping in until 9.
- It was the first year Miss Peanut really got the idea about Santa, so fun.
- Handsome learned how to say "Cheese" for the camera.
- Officer surprised me with an overnight trip to Monterey, CA - where we went on our honeymoon. Officer really spoiled me this year and it was a really great to get away for a day.
- Officer's parents bought all the Daughters/Daughter-in-laws a really real pearl necklace. They're beautiful.
- Finding out Christmas day that we are having a BABY GIRL.
- Putting together a puzzle with Officer and his Mom.
- Listening to constant rain on the rooftop one day while it rained all day.
- CA thrift store shopping.
- Officer got to play basketball with the "A" team.
- Officer getting pulled over in Oregon.
Boy, it really was a packed trip, I'm sure I've left out things too, but here are just a few pictures to get you started.

Congrats on the girl! That is so exciting! I am jealous! Hopefully we can get a girl to clam down all the boy-ness in my house...someday!
Sounds like your Christmas Eve was a lot like ours...complete with lots of puke. Fun. What's Christmas without a little sickness, right? Only I wish my kids would have slept in until 9! They were up by 6, my baby at 5!
So excited about a girl!!! Do we get to hear the name?
