We had a great time in CA even with a slightly cramped house and getting the flu (just me in our family)!
We went to Ashley's for two days and we had fun letting the cousins play!
Lila holding Paige - Paige looks gigantic in this picture!
Somehow this is the only picture we took while we were at Ashley's
We then went to my Aunt and Uncle's for an extended family Christmas party - there was a great turn out and we had so much fun! They had tons of delicious food, we carried on the nativity tradition, played family feud and had fun visiting.
If you think I look crazy in this picture you should see the other 3... I seriously look like a psycho.
Maisie was a lamb for the nativity and looked very cute!
Matt with our other tired lamb
Such a cute lamb
From left to right: the shepherds with their flock, the angel, Mary, baby Jesus, and Joseph
Apparently the wise men hadn't made their entrance yet.
Unfortunately I got the stomach flu and was sick for several days... and then passed it on to several others. So sorry!
Christmas day was lots of fun. It's always fun to watch the kids open their gifts.
All the grandkids on Christmas morning
Cal, Lila, Grace, Miles, Paige and Maisie
Maisie opening her stocking - she got pouches and puffs
YUM!
Opening presents with Daddy
Opening presents with Grandpa
Maisie and some of her loot
Maisie with another new toy
There was plenty of cousin time and grandpa and grandma time (although I only seem to have pictures of Paige with grandpa)
Cousins all within 8 months of each other!
Maisie (9 mo), Cal (8 mo), Paige (3 mo), Grace (1 mo)
Paige looking up at Grandpa
More Grandpa and Paige
(this was his 1st time meeting Paige, so they needed lots of quality time!)
One last Grandpa and Paige shot - I love this one!
We were able to squeeze in lots of fun!
CA Science Center to see the Endeavor
Maisie having fun with Grandpa
Paige hanging out in the stroller
Maisie flying in space
Apparently this is the best picture we got... the Endeavor is well lit...
Walks on the beach
Paige was asleep in the stroller
One last walk at the beach before we left the next morning
Oh how I miss the beach!
"Hikes" along the cliffs at the coast
Family Shot
A rare shot of Matt and I together
Paige and I
(If you look at my shoes you can tell that I use the word hike very loosely)
Visited Chase and Libby
It is impossible to get a good picture there because you're always looking into the blazing sun!
Baths in Grandma's and Grandpa's big sink
Walks to the park
Naps with Daddy (Notice none with Mommy...)
We also blessed Paige in church while we were there - it was fun to have so many family members in the circle!
Paige in her blessing dress
All the men in the circle
Jon, my dad, Keith, Matt, and Matt's dad
(Byron had to stay home with sick kids?)
Matt's side of the family that was there
My side of the family
Kelsey, Keith, and Ashley were there also... somehow they avoided pictures!
New Years Eve
This is the only picture I have from New Year's Eve...
Paige decided to roll over to end the year right!
Random Cute Pictures from the trip
Maisie mesmerized by Grandma's Christmas decoration
Paige smiling at her daddy
And then it was time to leave
(And again take note on who is doing all the sleeping...)
The girls did well traveling, we really only had one simultaneously melt down on the way to CA (it was very short) and if I'm remembering correctly I think one melt down from each girl on the way home. Everyone on the plane was very sweet to us and told us how the girls were!
