Christmas had come and gone. I hope you enjoyed the holiday as much as we did.
As I look forward to the big New Year’s celebration, it didn’t seemed right to not write a blog to pay tribute to my favorite time of the year.
So, here is a picture blog of our Christmas merry making…
On Christmas Eve, we feverishly ate, ate, and ate…
After dinner, the kids got busy with making cookies for Santa just before we left to go to church for the Christmas Eve service.
We got home well past midnight, and got cookies and milk for Santa.
Then promptly went to bed, so Santa could tip toe into our home.
The next day, the kids tore open their many, many gifts, and spent hours test driving their new toys.
Then we got right back into the business of feasting.
Oh, did I say that Christmas had come and GONE?! Silly me. That would be incorrect. Because there are twelve days of Christmas!!
On the second day of Christmas, we visited Christmas in the Park, in downtown San Jose. This is a family tradition of ours. We liked going there to watch professional Christmas decorations and eat the best Churros from our favorite event vendor there.
On the fifth day of Christmas, we went to the beach.
I know much of the rest of the country made front page news with their subzero temperatures and unforgiving winter storms that knocked out power for its residents during Christmas, but here in California, we are enjoying beautiful sunny weather. The temperature in Monterey Bay were in the 70’s.
We unleashed our kids and let them skate away on their new skate boards all along the glorious Monterey Bay Coastline. Lots of people had the same idea.
Monterey Bay was popular with tourists and locals that day. We found this sandy beach packed with people, some were braving the cold water without wetsuits, swimming and boogie boarding.
Enjoy the rest of your Christmas, and Happy 2014 to all of you.
