All is calm, all is bright.

We have arrived home safe and sound from our week long trip to our California home.
If you're confused... In Utah, home = California. While in California, home = Utah.


We arrived Thursday afternoon and visited Dad for a while. Then after Mom got off work we joined her for some Yummy Thai food.

Friday we spent the entire day at Disneyland with William and his friend. We had so much fun and ate way to much.
Saturday was Christmas Eve ate dinner and opened our presents. We. Were. Spoiled.

Sunday was Christmas and I woke up early that morning and brought Jack in the Box (tradition) to my Dad before heading off to church. After church we got a call from Elder (Josh) Lyman. So great to hear from him and in just a few short months he will be home!  Then hung out and played with our toys till dinner. Prime Rib! Yum! After dinner we raced over to the Websters to play games with Zach's family. Zach broke his 24 year tradition of throwing up on Christmas. Little depressing because it has become such a joke BUT I think we tricked  his body by celebrating the day before.
Monday we slept in, ran errands with Dad and hung around with him. Then dinner at Yang Ming, my fave Chinese place then off to the hot tub.

Tuesday we took our tandem beach cruiser for a spin in Newport. It was beautiful weather. We stopped for lunch and some ice cream before heading home. That night we watched Sherlock Homes and then visited my friend Stephanie and family. Later that night I visited Dad for some TLC and watched the Glee movie with him and Sophie.
Wednesday was our final day, and after running errands and packing the car we didn't have much time to hang with the family. So after a quick sushi lunch with the parentals; we were on the road to Utah.

 In the blink of an eye it was over. It seemed the week just flew by and we hardly got to spend as much time with the family as we wanted. This year we had to do things a little differently due to the unforeseen circumstances. My dear Father fell in the beginning of November and broke his ankle. After a few days in the hospital they decided to throw him into a rehab facility for anywhere from 3-6 months. Ugh! He hates it but is doing well so far. Since my jet-setter of a Mother has been flying across the country for work, it has left her little time to decorate for Christmas. BUT this amazing woman still found time to make TONS of goodies, do all the Christmas shopping and make a fabulous prime rib dinner.
We are so lucky to have her!
We were completely spoiled this year! Thank you Mom and Dad for making this an amazing Christmas.
