Christmas Break

We have had such a fun week! Rich's brother, his wife and their kids came up to spend Christmas with us. We had such a great time, and we have lots of pictures to prove it! (and I loaded them completely backwards, so they start with the most recent and work their way back to Christmas)

We spent one day at the coast and the Redwoods. It always delivers!



The boys climbing

While we were at the beach, we met lots of crab fishermen, and even got to see them catch a crab! After showing us the blisters all over their hands from being pinched, they offered for us to hold it for a picture. We opted out.

Brynlie absolutely LOVED her cousins. She followed Benson around everywhere and always wanted to hold his hand.

See?

Too cute.

She was also a big fan of their electronic gadgets


Playing with Uncle George and Aunt Liz, unwrapping lots of fun presents!


Making Christmas Eve cookies. Bryn had so much fun wearing her apron, but mostly she loved...

unwrapping all of the hershey's kisses with her daddy!


Sitting by her presents a couple days before Christmas...she had a hard time waiting and kept saying "Those presents is for Santa's birthday?"

With all the baking and cooking, she decided she wanted to help me by becoming my dish washer.

It was a wonderful holiday, I'm so sad it's over, but it's always fun to look forward to decluttering, cleaning the house, and of course, spring!
