Christmas Day

On Christmas Day we all got together at my sister Kim's house to watch the kids open presents and have a Santa Maria bar-b-que. Kim and family use to live in Santa Maria, California and apparently they make their own spices their that are very tasty on tri-tip steak and use their own special grilling methods. Mike was in charge of the meal and did a fantastic job. Of course the other men helped by supervising.

My sister Jill is famous for her pajama pant making skills. It probably started by the fact that we're a tall family and can never find pajama pants that are long enough. So for the second time Jill made us all matching Christmas pajama pants and of course we had to capture the moment on film. We set up a tri-pod to take the picture and here are all the test shots, which I thought were a funny progression of watching a group of people try to take a photo. If you scroll fast it is almost like mini film.

We almost got Mikayla out of the picture!

On Christmas Morgan started to get a runny nose and a little cranky which was super since we were flying home that day. However despite his moist face he's still a little cutey.

Papa with Mikayla who got everything princess related.

Nathan in his new hamburgler issued pajamas flying his toy helicopter...if you look close it is in front of the door.

We had a wonderful Christmas and memorable vacation to Florida this year. We miss everyone terribly, including the beautiful weather. Come and visit anytime!
