Chris and I had a great Christmas vacation in sunny California. The weather was mid 70s and even got into the 80s one day. It was gorgeous and confusing. I kept thinking I was on summer vacation, especially since we went to Magic Mountain.
With our best friends the Reids out of town, we thought our schedule would be a little more open but we ended up filling it with great friends and family. It was so fun to see everyone.
We spent Christmas Eve with Chris' mom and brother. We had a delicious Brazilian dinner, exchanged some presents, played Cameron's favorite game UNO over and over again and then finished with the traditional Christmas movie Kung Fu Panda 2. Which we rather enjoyed. We finished the evening at Doug and Kristen's playing Carcassone the rest of the night.
Christmas morning with me and my hubby. Chris and I woke up late and came down stairs to find full stockings! We had so much fun opening presents together. Thanks for everything! We feel really blessed to have such great family and friends. Chris got me a 35mm 1.8f lens. I was so excited. I have been wanting that one. It's so sharp and a great mid-length range. Chris got a new laptop, which he desperately needed.
I got some new running clothes for Christmas!
Christmas breakfast: orange juice and chocolate croissants!
After church we went to Chris' dad's house and had lunch, exchanged presents, played pool, and just chatted. It was so fun to catch up. That night we went over to the Redfords and played Dominion all night.
Tyler's new sweet ride. That thing is SO fun!
On our last day we got to see Erik's new alterations shop (very impressive), have lunch with Dave and Vanessa back from DC, do a little shopping with some fresh new Christmas cash, go see Mission Impossible with Greg and then play Dominion with Greg and Laura again into the wee hours of the morning. Awesome. Chris and I are so addicted to Dominion it's absurd. Watch out. We intend to force it upon everyone too! I hope everyone had a great holiday and happy New Year to you!

I am so ready to have Dominion forced upon me! So sad that we didn't get to see you guys -- glad you enjoyed the accommodations of the hotel Reid and all else that Southern California has to offer, though :) Guess we'll have to make another Utah trip soon! XOXOXO
Fun to see all your Christmas pictures of your first married Christmas together. Looks like much happiness and fun was had.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Fun pictures. Thanks for sharing!
