Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

This year was so much fun and a little crazy!
We drove out to California on the 22nd. 
The next day was the girls trip into San Francisco for the Magical Tea at the Top of the Mark.  I love this tradition! It's always so much fun and we love the magician R.J! 
RJ our favorite magician! 


After our tea we always walk around Union Square and do some last minute shopping. 

Later that night we did some caroling. I always love to see the families I haven't seen in so long! 

On the 24th we had our Adams family dinner and our in credibly awesome Nativity! David and I were Mary and Joseph again and James was baby Jesus. James loved to dance with the rapping Shepherds and he loved that the Wise man brought him cheetos! 


Christmas morning we drove out to Morgan Hill to go to church. It was great because we got to see David's family too since my aunt and uncle are in the same ward.  Right after church we quickly got back because Santa came while we were at church so we weren't tempted to open our gifts early.  
James knew exactly what gift was his when we walked out.  He saw it and immediately started to play with his car that Santa brought him.  Santa also brought David and me some of the Living Scriptures
After everything was open we spent the rest of the night playing games. 

On the 26th I was so excited because I got to see one of my best friends from high school and got to take her and her husbands pictures! It was so much fun catching up with them! 
That night we went into my dads house for dinner and Christmas eve round 2. 



The next day was the Edmunds family Christmas party.  We opened gifts, went bowling and had our traditional dinner at Round Table.

On the 28th, the boys went golfing and the girls went to the spa (Edmunds). It was David's first time golfing but he liked it. And the girls got massages, manis and pedis.  Then us girls went to lunch at the Elephant bar.
That night we drove back out to Morgan Hill for more Adams fun. We had a Cooking with the Stars dinner. Every one picked out a famous cook and got a partner then cooked their recipe.  I got to cook with my sister and we made Bobby Flays grilled shrimp pesto pizza.  David and my Uncle Jay got Paula Deans mac n cheese cupcakes.  Everything that everyone made was delicious! 

On the 29th we got to celebrate with the Andrus'!  We went to Happy Hallow which is a zoo, petting zoo, and amusement park.  James loved it! He loved the goats and looking at all the animals. He loved playing in the little playground and then riding the dragon train. 






That night we just hung out and had a quite night.
