We celebrated our first Christmas in California since we moved to Bend 7 years ago. The kids had never experienced a "Southern California Christmas," which included going to the Newport Beach boat parade with cousins, Balboa Bars on the island with Aunt Rachel and Uncle Mark, seeing Santa (Clara wasn't thrilled) and making dough ornaments with Grandma Becka. We then celebrated Christmas Eve at Grandma Jan and Grandpa Bills, Christmas morning at Grandma Becka and Grandpa Marshall's and then onto Nanny and Great Grandpa Bob's for the big family Christmas dinner! I unfortunately don't have any pictures of the dough ornament making or of the big Christmas Dinner, but I hope to find some soon! There is also a random picture in there of Clara's Christmas program at her pre-school. Enjoy!
