It's had been an entire year since we had been back to California. I know, hard to believe! We were able to go for almost 2 weeks. We tried to fit everything and everybody in but we still fell short. I have to say that I loved every minute of being in California. As much as I love living in Idaho, my home will always be California. There are a TON of PICTURES
Here are some of the highlights
 |
| We spent Christmas Eve with my family and here we are at our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Grandma & Ellie. |
|
 |
| Christmas Day was spent with Bill's Family. The kids had to be woken up to open presents or else we were going to be late for church. haha |
 |
| We made it to the beach! It was in the high 70's low 80's the entire time we were in California. I just love these pictures that were taken right as the sun was going down. |
