RECAP: The days and night before christmas

We didn't set up a tree or decorate our house for christmas again this year, it just seems like a waste of time since we go to San Diego every year. This year I decided to drive out with Tatum a few days early to spend time with family and do my last minute shopping.








These are pictures of the roads on our way to San Diego. Yes it snowed in the mountains!!

We spent time with my aunt who came down from Oregon and helped make tamales for christmas dinner at my grandmas and also helped eat them. YUMMY!!

Christmas Eve:
On Christmas eve before everyone arrived and Tatum was napping, Monica and I were attempting to put together a kitchen for Tatum. When Daniel arrived from Yuma, it turned into a big family project. Monica read directions, Daniel & grandpa used power tools with the help of Chase & Cody and grandma, Christina & I got the kitchen accessories ready. We sure had alot of fun!
We got all the gifts ready for christmas eve and spent the evening with family. The kids all opened a few presents from Santa, Tatum was so excited to play with her new kitchen with grandma, Chase & Cody. We ate lasagna and had lots of other goodies too.










After everyone had gone home and Tatum was fast asleep, we all quietly tiptoed around to get ready for Christmas morning.

Twas the night before Christmas....
