Christmas

We had a pretty fun Christmas this year! After last year’s stomach flu debacle (Bruce and I got sick on Christmas Eve and had to cancel all plans) we were happy to be sickness-free and able to travel. We stayed home and had a very mellow Christmas Eve — made pizza with the boys, opened presents, played with new toys, etc. The boys went to sleep without their usual haggling after being told that Santa Claus would only come once they were asleep. (I wish we could use that line the rest of the year.)

We moved the couch away from the fire place so Santa could get in and it worked! Stockings were filled, presents left, cookies and milk consumed. The boys were thrilled to wake up to a Batcave for Finn and a new bike for Ezra.

It took us a while to get moving but we finally tore the boys away from their new stuff and hit the road to visit the Becks in Temecula. We had a great time celebrating in their new house. Always fun to have all seven cousins in the same place.

Of course, I took a ton of pictures. Here are my favorites in the form of a slideshow.
