This year for Christmas, I got to steal my family for a California Christmas! We had a fun week of the climbing on the roof, going to the zoo & Six flags, eating on my mom's china, attempting to catch a movie (futile effort with kids!), watching Meet Me In St. Louis, wrapping to Christmas music, chocolate chip pancakes, a trapeze class, going to the gym, having fun with Trevor's fish-eye lens (Glenn!), cookie making, and lots of present opening! It was so nice to be together and see these children who are growing WAY too fast!

| When did my little brother become a full-on grown up??? Blows my mind and impresses me all at once. I adore this guy. |

| It was Gabriel's idea to add the face in chocolate chips. We were proud of the results :) |

| I came outside to see Trevor and Jonas on the roof! |

| Ali taking Malachi for a "drive"... I L.O.V.E. Malachi's face in this one! |
 |
| Camille's famous thumbprint cookies-- these FLEW off that plate! |
 |
| I made my mom's famous Bavarian mints, covered them, and set them outside to cool. I checked on them an hour later to find a cat's behind scurrying quickly away from the crime scene.... sadly, no one got any Bavarian mints, except the cat. |

| My Mom's china :) |

| Cory and Camille's German Aupair, Kai- he was a great addition to the family and makes a killer meatball. |
 |
| Glenn made me a surprise ball for my stocking- YES! |
Looks like a wonderful time! I have never seen so many presents in one room! And who was the giant that took the picture from the ceiling - Oh, I know - you had two giants there!! Thanks for sharing all the fun!
