Christmas Day


Like a kid on Christmas... was the scene in our house.  Bright and early the kids got up to check their stockings and open their presents.  The big Santa gifts were metal detectors.  The girls are determined to find treasure.  They spent their first day swarming the backyard in hopes of finding something shiny and gold.  Well, they did find a couple rusty nails!  The rest of the day was spent at Grandma and Bruce's house.  Everyone was there to visit and spend quality time with family.  There's really nothing better than to share these special holidays with the ones you love!












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.

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.
