The Hectic Holidays...

We spent a week in California with Doug’s family for Thanksgiving, which was a blast! Minus all the motion sickness from the constant rides at Disneyland and Nott’s Berry Farm. We loved all the animal life at Sea World and would go back in a heart beat. Doug and I took a little day trip to Huntington Beach where we did a little shopping, wandered around the art’s fair on the beach, and sat on the pier and watched old men fish… It was definitely the most relaxing day of the whole trip.

I LOVE the spirit of Christmas and all the sparkle it brings to everyone’s eyes, but for some reason this December seemed like it was always go go go.
With my sister’s family in town and all the parties to attend, it didn’t seem like we had any time to put up the Christmas tree or even sit down and recoup from California. Doug was the narrator for the Ward Christmas Play and he did a phenomenal job, he really is so funny and good at memorizing every line. Who would have thought that acting could be his thing :O) We played lot’s of games with friends and family and just had a ball! Christmas day was so relaxing with lounging around and taking naps, we got in a movie and even opened a few presents.

Now it’s on to 2011 with lots of goals and aspirations in front of us. I even made it till midnight this time!!! Then it was off to an early start, for breakfast doesn’t wait till noon, bunches of Dad’s family was getting together in the great gathering room.

We love you all and wish you the best this year!
