For Christmas this year, well I guess now its last year, we headed down to sunny California to get as far away from the snow as possible. We had a busy week.........
shopping in china town with Sam's best friend Curtis, my brother Robby and his wife Zenna
then we added one more friend to the mix, Trevor, and played a little frisbee golf. Who would have thought a little frisbee could make your arms so sore?
The next morning we opted for a little sand volleyball, making the rest of my body so sore that even laughing caused severe pain.
We visited young Quinnton, or rather Elder Braden, on his mission. It was so fun to see Quinn, get a little lunch, and watch sam and him stand on their tip toes to see who could be taller for the pictures. Silly brothers.
We ate at Salsa and Beer, but no worries there was no beer for us. And Jana, Im sorry you couldn't be there also. Quinn says he misses you very much.
Soon enough Christmas morning rolled around, so we opened a few presents with the family.
Sam made out like a bandit with some warm moccasins, new pajama pants, a nice drill, and an ipod touch. He was very surprised and extremely happy.
The rest of the week was filled with fabulous dinners made by my mom
A little bit of quilting
Hanging around and playing a lot of games
A little golfing on the coldest evening we were in town. We sure know how to pick them.
It took a few hours for my limbs to thaw out, but it turns out I am a natural at this ole golf thing;)
And lastly, a little bit of surfing to end the fun week. It was Sam's first time and if you count standing on a sinking surfboard as surfing, he did awesome! (Its not his fault, it was a mini surfboard and it could happen to anyone.)
Thank goodness for wet suits, the water was freezing, or so I heard because I did not go near it.
I stayed on the shore, by myself, bored, and worried that those pesky seagulls were going to poop on me or that the biggest and scariest pelican I have ever seen was going to try to attack me. Luckily it was a big no on both accounts.
I think that next time I will take a friend to keep me company. Any takers?
Hope you all had a terrific holiday!!!!!!

Um, cute red vest! Also, when did Craig grow up? He looks like an entire foot taller than he did when you got married! Rachel and Dana look all grown up, too, I can't wait to see them next summer. I am still jealous about Quinn, but I'm going to try to photoshop myself into the pic outside the restaurant, so that will make me feel better I think. And I probably would have cried, which would have been awkward, so it's just as well. :) Also, it looks like there's some serious leftovers from that scrumptious-looking dinner, why were they not packaged up and mailed to Nampa? We'll just have to come in person next time. :) And then I could hang out with you on the beach while Sam gets his bum kicked by nature! Although I already have a weird fear of birds, so the seagulls and pelican might have pushed me over the edge.
I'm glad you had a merry Galeri-a Christmas!
I would never leave you alone and vulnerable to savage birds on the beach. We could sit together and watch the waves roll in, I could even help you out with some sun tan lotion and you change the bandages on my severely infected leg nub. Don't answer now, just think about it ;)
