Okay, so after spilling the beans about the new baby sister to join the family (see the previous post) here's an update to how much fun December was for us.
We first went to the Fountain Valley 3rd ward Christmas luau, and we had a hoot of a time. Grandma and Grandpa Allen joined us, which was all the more fun! We saw lots of Polynesian dancing, a fire breather, and we ate lots of cookies. Jack was very festive with his "Beatles" shirt. Hmm...I wonder who dressed him?
So, Dada has a great job and generous bosses that let him take some good time off to spend with the family. So, we ventured to Ventura to spend Christmas time with Grandma and Grandpa Allen.
As you can see, they were tickled pink to see us. Well, they were mostly tickled to see Jack. Who can contend with the life of the party?
On Christmas Eve, Jack and I took Momma to the Santa Barbara Zoo. We saw Momma's favorite animal, the giraffe.
Jack's favorite without a doubt was the CHOO CHOO!
On Christmas Day, Jack was pretty overwhelmed with all of the presents,
and but he did have fun tearing into them.
We're pretty sure that his favorite was the tricycle he received from Grandma and Grandpa Allen. It looks like Momma is enjoying the convenience of being able to steer her boy in the right direction.
On our way home from our Ventura Christmas adventure,
we stopped in Pasadena to visit the Great Allen Grandparents.
GO GRANDPA GO!

What a fun Christmas! Isn't it amazing how much more fun it is with kids?
Looks like a super fun Christmas. That is nice that you were able to get some good time off for the Holidays. The Luau looks like fun!
