This is a picture of the girls taking their girls to see the Nutcracker a few days before we got to CA. I am putting it in because it is the only holiday picture I have of Addison and Sophia. On the day before we came to CA they left to come to Oregon and the same thing happened on the way home. So we missed seeing them on our visit.
Christmas morning at the Burks. I missed getting a picture of Chris' parents. Both our girls had both sets of parents at their house for Christmas. I thought it was fun, hope they did too.
Smiths with Meyers, Merry Christmas.
We had Christmas dinner at Crystal's house. It began in the morning with this yummy hot chocolate bar with sooooo many choices of delicious toppings - candy canes, chocolate covered marshmallows, marshmallow creme and sugar delights. 
We spent the day and week doing all kinds of fun things, but we also went to bed late and slept in every morning after Christmas. It was great! Kevin and Jim had a good time doing nerf wars.
We went shopping at the huge Roseville Mall. Owen and Payton got new jammies.
Payton and I went to the movies- Chipmunks in Chip-wrecked, cute, but not a huge plot.
We watched the kids play with their new toys. We played games and did puzzles. I am getting better with my puzzle building skills (I've never been very good with puzzles)
One day Jim and Ryan added these legs to Owen's train table, that used to lay on the floor. Owen literally plays with his Thomas Train set every day. He's a huge fan and Dylan likes trains too.
While Jim and Ryan worked on the train table; Crystal and I hung her new frames with our new family pictures on the wall that Ryan and her painted a few weeks ago. There were times that she scared me with that drill. (she was little crazy and wild wanting to get the project done)
Finished, oh so nice.
One day we went to see where Kelly's new office is going to be. They are building it and Kelly got to work with the architect in helping to design the building. With her persistence, they were able to create about another 1,500 square feet of storage space for records in the attic space. She also helped to remodel an existing building into vocational classrooms.
Alex entertained us with his magic tricks.And we just hung out a lot. A great way to close the year with lots of rest and relaxation.
Families are the best presents of all. Hope your Christmas was great. .JPG)

I love how proud that Alex is that his magic trick worked! :) He's still loving his tricks. It was a lovely visit.
