Christmas with Ashley

Since Ashley was in South Carolina for Christmas, we exchanged gifts with her today.


Isn't it funny how Kyle has so much fun with the gifts that he purchases for others. It reminded me of the year he bought me Dance, Dance, Revolution for HIS X-Box.


I guess I only have to cook once a month instead of once a week! Yeah!!

Before they left, I started pulling out the boxes to put away all the decorations. This is the first year that I was actually anxious to put it all away. Miley, that's all I need to say.

He really exists! After 3 years of dating, we finally get to meet Jake!



With Steph living in Flagstaff and with everyone's work schedules, we have been trying to get these kids together for a picture. Finally we did it, here are all the grandchildren. Stephanie (23) Serena (13) Alyssa (18) Tiffany (9) Kyle (20)

Christmas morning before heading to Disneyland.


Disneyland the day after Christmas, with over 64,000 people.




This was a rough ride with a 9 year old at the wheel!



The longest line was for "it's a small world"....

still waiting...Can you tell Kyle was thrilled to be waiting over an hour for this ride? I believe his words were, "Are you kidding me?".

we are on!!
California Adventures



I guess Bobby went around taking pictures of himself while we were on the rides.
Disney at night



Main street with a few of our closest friends. Did I mention CLOSE?



Guess what Tiffany spotted in Downtown Disney? Yes, another one. I think this makes 25 build-a-bears for her.

After spending 26 hours (in 2 days) at Disneyland we were off to the beach.

Heading home....

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas spent with family and friends!
