Promised Pictures

We had such a fun Christmas this year in California. I mean, really, can you get a better Christmas than 70 degree weather and hanging out at the beach with the beautiful water?! Everyone likes to say that Christmas isn't Christmas without snow, but that is just to make themselves feel better because they aren't here with the warmth!! I, for one, LOVE my warm Christmases. They are the best types.
One day, we all went down to the beach and ate a BJ's and then walked down the pier. This pellican came and sat on the hand rails and people were like 5 feet from it taking pictures of it. It didn't care. It started to search the water for fish and when it found one it swooped down got it right out of the water and ate it whole. Don't believe it? Dave got the whole thing on film on his new Flip video camera. It was pretty sweet. The other great thing was that HSS was having a sidewalk sale, which is the best. Us girls had fun shopping while the boys were bored out of their mind! It was great!
The next pictures are of our actual Christmas fun. Cade had a little bit too much fun with the chocolate. I have a feeling she is taking after her Grandma with the love of chocolate. My Grandpa got an I-Pad for Christmas and he was so ecstatic! I was proud that my Grandpa can keep up with all the new technology that comes out. I believe it keeps him young, so keep it coming! Then there is all us girls in our new pajamas. My dad says that now that we are all "adults" that we shouldn't get pj's anymore. Little does he know how much we actually still enjoy it! Good thing Mom understands.
Then there are the pictures of the cute niece as promised. Sadly, I didn't get very many pictures of the little boys this time. But Cade absolutely LOVED her new swing set that is at Grandma and Grandpa's house. She loved the swings, it was adorable. Then there is Cade being 100% Brian as she sticks out her tongue.
Hope you enjoy the Christmas pictures and hope your Christmases were just as fantastic as ours!
