Christmas and New Years

We had a wonderful holiday here in San Diego. I was sad not being with my family, but it was nice and relaxing just the four of us.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Christmas morning. I couldn't get Julia to look at the camera long enough for a photo. She was too distracted by all the presents.

Santa Daddy must have snuck these in my stocking.

Chocolate Santa for breakfast.Only on Christmas.

Sea World was open, so we decided to go for a couple hours before dinner with our friends.

The day after Christmas, Nathan's parents drove over. It was also Laurie's, Nathan's mom's, birthday. So Richard took us to dinner at Seaport Village, and Nathan bought us a carriage ride. Julia loved it! She kept asking where Cinderella was, though.

Nathan's parents had brought my sister, Kellan, with them. She stayed with us for a week before we took her up to my parents who were visiting in Newport.

I took her to the zoo one day.

One New Years Eve, we went to the tide pools at Cabrillo National Park.
