We spent a few days in the snow with the Blaka Family. They have a big and beautiful lake house in Arrowhead. Jeff and George took the kids sledding right outside the front door. With Chef George's delicious cooking, the beautiful weather and cozy indoors... you couldn't ask for a better time. 
We woke up early to see what Santa brought us... a doll house, a bike and a treasure chest of princess dresses. We spent the day at Grandma's running around with our cousins. That night we left to spend a few days in the snow.
It was a fun night to stay up late and open presents at Grandma's house. We spent time with Uncle Matt and Kathy, Aunty Babe, Uncle Paul, Grandma Furnare and Aunty Ann and Aunt Sylvie and Uncle Joe. The finale was the wonderful harmonica performance.
Even though we can't be together this year, we're thinking of you... Chelsea, Shelby and Abby. Merry Christmas!!!
We've made it a tradition every year to meet half way in Marina Del Rey for a Christmas dinner with Sherry and George.
Literally! Thanks to the City of Redondo Beach, Santa cruises up our street every December stopping right in front our house to greet the kids. Josette made sure her list was ready and when we heard the sirens we ran out to meet him. Our neighbors, Cara and Matt were there too!
