End of 2015 in California

Eight years ago we began our Idaho adventure by packing a moving truck Dec 26th and heading out Dec 27th. Almost every year since then we have packed up the 26th and driven to California to spend some time in the sun.

A story to make you smile: We pulled into the gas station after a long day of driving. Isaac looks up and says "I know where we are! Amazon Prime!" Perhaps a little too much online shopping happened this Christmas...

 Cosette shared her talents with Grandma at the family party.

Alan and Larry decided they like to swim...

 ...and lay eggs...

Sarah took up skateboarding.

All the kids together and almost looking at the camera after our picnic in the park.

Santa paid a visit with a stocking for each of the kids.

Ethan has a love/obsession with penguins. He's been asking for a live penguin for his birthday and Christmas. Gma and Gpa did the best they could on delivering that request. You're very own, live penguin.
