Early Christmas

Happy Holidays Everyone!

December has been a busy month. We enjoyed Decemeber Nights at Balboa Park with the Starr Family for the first time. It was a nice way to get in the holiday spirit. I finished parent conferences and report cards and then we headed off to Claremont for an early Christmas at my parents house to celebrate my mom's birthday and Christmas since everyone will be spread out this year. Cristina will be heading down to Morellia, Mexico to spend the holidays with Juan and his familly. Suzanne and Brian are heading to Minnesota to spend Christmas with his family. We are heading to Julian (in the mountains East of San Diego) to spend Christmas in a little cabin we rented. Grandma and Grandpa spoiled Nate with a deluxe kitchen/grill and a little train set. He has been in heaven and enjoys serving coffee and grilling hamburgers. We just wish we were closer to Bob's family as well so we could see them this holiday season. But, Grammy already has her next visit planned and it looks like maybe Aunt Jody will head out for a visit in 2007!

I am enjoying my time off with Nate and we are keeping very busy. We are enjoying all our memberships and have hit SeaWorld, the zoo, Kid City, and the Aquarium already. We are still going to gym class as well, but have moved up to Gymsters since Nate is down to one nap and the timing of the other class wasn't working out for us. Plus, he is ready and enjoys to be with the older kids. I am looking forward to another 2 weeks off with him, although he may be more exhausting than work!

I will post again after the holidays with updates and photos! Wishing you all a happy holidays!
