Enjoying donuts in the car while on our way to pick out a Christmas tree.
Dad and Reece opened and inspected a few trees together.
Elle did her best to explore (although she didn't get far).
Waiting for Dad to tie the tree to the top of the car.
We did it! As you can see, the ornaments are "Elle proof".
We read an advent story every night leading up to Jesus's birth.
Enjoying Grandma's Christmas treats.
Learning to make marinara with Dad for our Christmas Eve Baked Ziti.
Elle decided to start waking at 5:30am every morning requesting raisins and/or Honey Nut Cheerios.
Evening walk to Hotel del Coronado.
Christmas Morning
Wondering how in the world Santa got in and ate their homemade brownies!
We spent Christmas morning at home together as a family. We enjoyed making cinnamon rolls and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. After naps we headed over to the park and played with the Benson family. The evening was spent packing bags for our morning travel to Visalia.
