Christmas 2013 & Visitors from MN (Part 2)

A few days before Christmas, Kyle's family flew out to join us for a week.  We had a packed house with four extra people in the house, but Katelyn sure loved having Aunt Kristina sleep in her bedroom. 

The first day they arrived was the 23rd of December, so we decided to head up to see the Christmas lights as it would really be our only chance.

1 year ago - I thought this comparison was too fun not to post.  Such changes in one year.  Especially with B.

We were having a big ham dinner late in the afternoon, so this was our yummy lunch of appetizers and goodies.   I LOVE me some good appetizers.

Love this photo.

And this one.

Both of the girls got their first scooters.

She loves to smell Mommy's candles.

My Family came and joined for Christmas dinner.

 In the days after Christmas, we enjoyed hanging out in the beautiful SoCal weather.  Kyle's family enjoyed sitting on the back patio and just enjoying our weather as they had to return to below 0 temps.  Here are the girls riding their new scooters for the first time.

 We took an afternoon trip to the beach.

Katelyn in the water with Aunt Kristina - she loves the water.

Brookie & Daddy.

The entire family (except me) enjoying the water.

 

The Lord has truly blessed us with great family and great memories.  It is a lot of fun to look back on these times as I so quickly forget all of the things we have done.
