Christmas Eve

Gigi was Mary in the precession of mass.  She was looking forward to this job and did wonderful!   Josette and Gigi both sang in the Choir which always brings me tears of joy.  Following the beautiful mass to celebrate Jesus's Birthday, we went to Ginny and Gene's for dinner.  It's become our Christmas Eve tradition to spend the evening with G&G exchanging gifts and sharing Ginny's delicious home cooked meal.  We made a quick stop at the end of the night to exchange gifts with our good friends, Robyn and Ted. 

Date Night With Sherry And John

 Our annual Christmas dinner... this year at The Warehouse in Marina Del Ray.  Good times!

Visit From Grandpa and Ozell

Santa's Visits Avenue C

What a fun night!  The Redondo Beach Fire Dept pulled Santa in his sleigh up our street for a personal visit with the one and only Mr. Clause.  The Watson's, Brusseau's, Ginny & Gene and our entire street came out to meet and greet.  Then we went for a late night stroll to see the lights.  We're officially in the Christmas spirit and can't wait for the big day!

 Van and Jess... so darn cute!!!

 We just love the Watson Girls... Hannah, Abby and Natalie

Special Visit From The Torrance Fire Department

George stopped by this afternoon for a quick visit before he retires tonight after 30+ years in the TFD.  So cool for Van to be up close and personal.
