Christmas 2011!

Lots of traveling, excitement and fun this Christmas. The festivities began at home with a re-enactment of the nativity: two wisemen and a very happy Jesus.  

New Christmas Jams!

Cruisin' in their new car from Santa.

Gingerbread! This is Elliot's "princess face" as in "show me a princess face Elliot!"

 Then just a short 13 hour drive away, we stopped at Leah and Hank's. We were so excited to be able to spend "real" Christmas Eve with them and see new baby Milo!

 Then just another 6 hour drive later and we made it to Thousand Oaks to open presents on Christmas night.

 Hanging out with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Dee.

 Climbing the oaks trees at Dover and Hendrix park.

 Santa Barbara Zoo! I think Elliot is upset because she wanted me to take a picture of her by herself. Note Avery's cool Cheetah-like sweatshirt from Grandma Nell.

 Can you believe this is December?

 Tossing the ball around at the library park.

 Baby shower for Georgiana, Anna's new baby! The belle of the ball.

 Carousel at Ventura Harbor. Always fun.

 My three little seaweed-haired dolphin riders.

 With the Hammonds at Pismo Beach. Couldn't spend New Years Eve any better way.
