Christmas 2007

We had a wonderful Christmas. The Thursday night before we left for San Diego we had our own tiny family celebration. That night happened to be a rather large snow storm which made it extra fun to turn on the holiday music and open our gifts to each other. Gift highlights included a Thomas the train backpack/ rolling suticase (to be taken on the airplane the next day), a beautiful Kitchen-aid mixer that I have been wanting for forever, and some workout clothes and a flash drive. It was a nice night.




Friday we left for San Diego and boy oh boy was Kai excited. He had been asking every few hours for the last 2 weeks when we were going to go on the airplane. He had a great time being spoiled by Grandma Grandpa Whitney. Some highlights of Kai's trip included a trip to Sea World with just Grandma and Grandpa, the Holiday Bowl luncheon, parade, and actual game, and finally getting to open up all those presents.

Tomorrow we are looking forward to our final Christmas celebration at Lance's parents. The dinner tradition there is fondue and we look forward to it all year.

A present from my grandma. It makes a ton of sounds, has breaks and a shift thingy, and a screen thing where you can pretend to drive on the road. He loves it, but doesn't understand why it doesn't have wheels to actually go. :)
