San Diego Trip

Christmas in San Diego was a lot of fun. We went to the Mormon Batallion on Sunday night. Caleb got to dress up like a soldier. Both Caleb and Brynn loved panning for "gold" at the end.

We went up to Huntington Beach on Tuesday. We hung out with family and did the traditional Christmas light visit and Wendy's stop for dinner.

Christmas

The kids love decorating Christmas sugar cookies:

 We also went to the Air and Space Museum. We found this small plane for the kids to play in. The cool thing about it is that we have the exact toy airplane at home.

A funny potty story from the museum was this: Caleb had to go potty. I took him to the women's room with me. After two minutes I ask if he's almost done. He answers, "I don't know! I'm going poop." (He does take a while when he goes #2--how would he know how long he's going to take?). A minute later the 3 stalls were all full and one mom with her 12 year old were waiting for a stall. Then Caleb started singing loudly "Happy birthday to you..." The mom, her daughter and I were all laughing. He sings pretty much every time he goes #2 and it's always a different song. Oh funny children.

Christmas Performances

Brynn had her preschool performance. Even though Ms. Nicole told Brynn her line, Brynn really did have it memorized. She is saying, "Y is for yule log whose bright sparks fly high."


Caleb's school had a performance where each grade did a song. Kindergarten did Ruldolph the Red Nose Reindeer. They looked so cute.

Before Christmas

When Talia first learned to crawl her favorite place to go was under our dining room table and stand up.

Caleb lost his first tooth on December 18th in the truck on our way to Petco.

Derrick's work has season tickets to Jazz basketball games. When it was Derrick's turn to get the tickets he took Caleb with him. Caleb had a blast and even got filmed and broadcasted on the big screen.

Luke, Julie and Pearl came to visit for the month of December. Pearl loves Caleb and Brynn. Brynn is turning out to be her favorite. Pearl will ask for her everyday and gives her hugs all the time. They are so sweet together.
