Christmas in California

Yes...I'm a little late posting about our Christmas trip...better late than never I guess! :) Also if you want to see more pics just visit our winkflash site at http://swl1109.winkflash.com .

This year for Christmas we went out to California to spend time with Brian's side of the family. We all had a great time! It was our first experience flying with 2 kids and let's just say it is definitely different! For the most part though the boys did really well. Poor Eric had a bunch of mishaps though the first full day we were there. The first morning he managed to find his way into the guest bathroom and wound up falling into the tub instead of his original plan on finding mommy and daddy in the next room! Poor kid! On top of that he managed to run into a few things that day as well. I think he takes after his mommy when it comes to being graceful! Haha! :)

While we were in California we had an opportunity to take the boys to the San Diego Zoo which they both loved! Eric really enjoyed the aviary and the otters while Tyler really liked one of the shows. Also I think Eric's favorite part was the bus that takes people around the zoo. Every time he saw it he started singing "The Wheels on the Bus"....by the end of the day I had had enough of that song to last a lifetime! :)

Other than that we just spent as much time with family as possible. Eric remembered Great Grandma's house from over a year before which really amazed us all. Eric and Tyler both had a great time on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Although Eric did run away when Santa came to visit on Christmas Eve! :) Eric's favorite part of Christmas day was probably Aunt Marcia "throwing" him up in the air and on Christmas Eve he really enjoyed playing with Ryan and Ingrid as well as just sitting on the couch listening to the music! Tyler for the most part just liked all the excitement and actually did seem to enjoy his presents more than the boxes. :)

We miss all of you out in California and can't wait to come see everyone again! Love you all!
