Every year we trade off Thanksgiving and Christmas between Scott's and my parents. This year, Christmas was at my parents' house which is about 5 hours away from where we live. My mom has two sisters and one of them (including her husband and my two cousins) live near my parents. This year, their other sister and her husband decided to come for a holiday visit so all three sisters were together for Christmas.

After returning home several days later we headed out for our second Christmas at Scott's parents house:

Oh my goodness!! Look at those sea lions in the water. What I would give to be that close to sea lions. Great Christmas recap - even if it is six weeks late. :)
ReplyDeleteWow what Christmas fun. A water safari? How fun. Love the gingerbread houses too. Cute.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely had a fun-filled Christmas 2009...safari and all.
ReplyDeleteGirl, 6 weeks isn't too bad. We haven't updated either & now that we are busy with the referral and all, who only knows how long it will be. Oh well, it is what it is.
ReplyDeleteChristmas 09 looks like it was wonderful for you guys. Thanks for sharing.
