The night before Scott flew in, we went out to a street that had thousands and thousands of lights. When we got back to Aunt Maudie's, my cousin Danny came in dressed as Santa and gave out chocolate. The kids loved it.
Christmas Eve morning we opened presents with my family since we wouldn't be getting back for another week. Below is my Uncle Gary with his new pool sign.
Scott flew in Christmas Eve we picked up Scott from the airport and drove straight to the Busby's who are in Thousand Oaks. We read the Christmas story and put out cookies and milk for Santa.

Later Christmas day we went to the beach! Talk about a way to spend Christmas! Scott went surfing for the first time with Keith while I stayed on the beach with the kiddos. It was super chilly with the wind, but the sun was warm.
The day after Christmas we drove early down to San Diego for Brent's wedding. We got really lucky and our rooms at our hotel were available for us so we were able to get dressed and get ready there. We had some time to kill so it was great. There are of course a lot more pictures at the temple, but they are from other people and I haven't bothered to download them to my computer.
The day of the wedding was pretty crazy. The sealing was during nap time for all of the kids so it was traumatic trying to get family photos. Then we had to wait for the bride and groom to get their photos done until we could eat at the restaurant. The following morning we went up to La Jolla and got to see the sea lions. They hadn't had their pups yet, but it was still fun to see them.
After San Diego and La Jolla, we drove back north to the wedding reception. We had lots of fun dancing and eating. The decorations were so darling.
Sunday morning we went to church with the Busby's and had Troy's baby blessing. Again, it was bad timing trying to get family photos- but we managed.
