Christmas 2012

Christmas came and went way to quickly... But first - Our trip to San Diego was a great experience, one that we won't soon forget and one I hope we get to do again, with a few minor changes. We saw and did a lot, there's just so much to do! Such a beautiful city, with perfect weather. Hopefully, next time we're there, we will have more time with Daddy, and he won't have to work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, on the night shift! Consequently, today is Randy's birthday and he's in San Diego for another month working the same schedule. Happy Birthday! We sure do miss you...

 

Back to Christmas - It was a great time spent at my parents house - along with my sister, brother, his wife and kids, my grandmother, and all the Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. Frances had a lot of firsts. She got some top teeth, she got her first cold, she went to preschool, she learned to stand up on the furniture and take a few steps, and she learned to dance! Plus, it was her first Christmas! I didn't take too many pictures - so here are a few favorites.   

It is great to be home and back in to the swing of things. Lucas was very excited to start back to school yesterday, and he is very happy to be back in his own room. I think he missed all his stuff! So far 2013 is off to a good start. We have so much to look forward too this year. But, I'm not rushing it... Happy New Year!
