So... we went to California and visit my parents and grandpa for Christmas. We got to bring the kids since it was our turn and we really had a blast! The kids had a lot of firsts and Dave and I had a great time as well. We shared a 3 bedroom (not counting my grandpas) house with my uncle and his family, I think there was a grand total of 14... (grandpa, mom, dad, james, dave, me, natalie, ethan, stanton, nancy, rubi, stanton, connor, logan) and 3 dogs! It was a crazy full house but we always love to be around family. On Friday night my other uncle and his family came up and visited as well (he stayed in a hotel since there was just not enough room). I am super sad we had to leave the next day and didn't get very much time with them. It was great though! We love the holidays! Also since I continue to forget, I am adding the couple pictures I took during Thanksgiving at Dave's parents... don't worry they are just of the comical tooth brushes and shampoo. Also Dave go to sleep on the floor at both his parents and mine! Guess we have to start having babies :-P (so the first few are in St. George for Thanksgiving...
Yes, Dave is on the bed in this one BUT he was only borrowing it!
CHRISTMAS! ROADTRIP!! (13 way too long hours!)
one day we went to the beach...Ethan LOVED it! Natalie...well lets just say not AS much...

I love my family so much!

SANTA CRUZ! our first time! (The first day I was super sick, some of the pictures you can tell)
The kids wanted to take a picture of us...these were some of the good ones...
That's my brother on the end...he's single ladies!

CHINA TOWN AND SAN FRANCISCO
This is our favorite place to go in china town. They make fortune cookies. My first time here was on a field trip in first grade...LOVE IT! Sad thing though...pictures inside cost money, so this is as good as it gets...yummy!
You can't tell super good, but there are green birds in this bush, that look like they belong in the tropics! They were so cool! This is in front of the Coit Tower in San Fran. Also a first for us!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
