Merry Christmas!!!!

Sorry we couldn't think of a more original title...we're a bit tired from running around this year. We started our adventure at 4:40 am Christmas Eve morning, driving seven hours to Grammie Jan and Papa Daryl's house. Lots of fun, presents, and a giant tee-pee contraption later, we settled down to a wonderful Christmas dinner. Before we headed off to Grandpa Pat's, we went sledding in freeze-your-boogers temperatures. We thought it was not-so-much fun, but mom and dad had a blast...so then we drove the four hours down the hill to Lorrie and Grandpa Pat's house in Paso Robles. We played some Guitar Hero, checked out the thousands of snowmen who were just dying to be played with (much to the dismay of everyone except us), and had some super yummy quiche. We had some delish pizza in Cambria, checked out the Christmas lights in beautiful historic downtown Paso, and visited with "Uncle" Mark. It was faaabulous. Can't wait to celebrate Jesus' birthday next year...when we actually have some concept of what that means...


Doesn't it look like it snowed?! We were soooo hoping...but we received a generous amount of hail which almost looked like a light dusting...



































This stuff is amazing!! We can't figure out why we haven't been able to play with this before!!!


















Notice our snazzy Christmas outfits!! Dressed to the nines!!









































Yo Yo!! Check out my way cool Christmas pj's!! Thanks Aunt Sarah!!























You may recall seeing dad pushing me on this bike when we were only 4 months old! Almost a year later we can pretty much drive it around ourselves!!

























Oooohhhh...presents.........


















Don't we all just look wonderful?! Except maybe both of us, who noticed something more interesting on either side of the gathering...


















Images captured by mum on our way up the mountain to go sledding. It was sooo beautiful!!!!!

Daddy and me, dressed in a hodgepodge of eclectic finds; the purple mittens were found in desperation hours before we went sledding...the only saving grace was our adorable beanies we received for Christmas from our wonderful Auntie Naomi...
























I was not amused.......


















Forcing a smile so we can leave!!!























One big happy (and COLD) family!!


















Unkie Brett and daddy zipped us up into their jackets...hehe they're weird..






















Then we cruised over to Auntie Kym and Uncle Guy's house for some extra-exciting fun...the special trip around the block in Brooke's Barbie car was by far our fave part...


This pic includes about half the attendants...mom was really random in her picture taking, I think by the last get-together she was sick of taking pics!!!















Aunt Kym's sexy undies...ohh la la!! Hehe given by her secret Santa..she asked for a Victoria Secret gift card so not only did she receive that, she scored some super cute VS granny panties as well...YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!




















LOOK! She liked them so much she decided to sport them the rest of the evening. If you look closely you will notice this gem of a find is from the VS "HIGH RISE COLLECTION"...oh, if only we had received such an amazing present...




















The highlight of our trip...our awesome cousin Brooke took us for a drive. We soooo want this car!!!






So that was that! Thanks, family for inviting us to our FOUR Christmases!! We had so much fun!!!

Christmas isn't complete w/out some snow and lots of family around to enjoy it with you! Looks like Jacob & Andrew had fun on and off the slopes.
