LEGOLAND!

After Christmas we headed to Southern Cali for a few days. We spent a day at LEGOLAND! It was awesome! The kids LOVED every minute...except for the rain and cold weather! Just our luck we would pick a day like that. The forecast called for sunshine and clouds. We still had a great time. We were amazed at everything they make Lego's out of. The Miniland was amazing! The rides were really fun too! Great place! And we didn't have to wait very long...like Disney!
Warning..Picture overload..and this is only a hand full of the pictures we took!






This was Eric's favorite ride! This robot arm took you on a wild ride. Eric has a miniature version of this robot arm at work...so He was excited to ride one like it!



















We were at park from 10am-7pm. Ended the day with a fireworks show!

What a fun day it was! Even in the cold and rain!!!

Beautiful!

One thing I love about living here in Northern Cali...The beautiful Fog blanket covering Napa Valley. Nothing like driving out of the mountain to see this...it is just so beauiful!


I finally had my camera will me last week and I made Eric stop so I could take a few photos.

The kids spent the day PLAYING and PLAYING with the Wii and all their new toys! They loved it!

Christmas Eve!

Christmas eve was always the big event in my house growing up. So this year..I decided to cook the dinner and do the whole bit. I cooked for 5.5 hours. The dinner turned out nice. My rolls were so yummy.
After Dinner- Brooklyn told us all about the Birth of the Savior. She did a great job...she actually listens in church! We then watched a short movie about his birth. Then it was off to opening the cousin exchange gift!
After Dinner...We also got a surprise at the door...Santa Claus Again! He came with gifts for the kids. They were sooo excited!

The kids were so excited to set out the Cookies and Milk for Santa. And they were even more excited to see them gone on Christmas Morning! I am sure Santa loved them!
Easton's Cousin gift from Tyler. He loves Transformers!
Brooklyn's Cousin gift from Chase. She loves it!
The kids in their PJ's that Grandma Jo sent! They love their new PJ's!
Then it was off to bed....they were so excited for Christmas Morning.
