Seriously So Blessed.

Things to do in Cali at Christmas time.



When you go home for the Holidays you absolutely need to get together with old friends. It's so fun. It's an absolute must on your to do list.







Upland Creche Festival








It was a neat experience to attend the annual Creche Festival. It was held at the building where I attended seminary in High School and I was able to catch up with friends I haven't seen in years. We walked in as the Primary children were up on stage singing and it was sweet to hear their voices and admire the priceless nativity sets. There was a kids room where the boys played with kid friendly creches and colored, made puzzles, and played with puppets. Lil Brian enjoyed the puppets the most. My favorite was the mural of the Savior over looking Jerusalem. It was beautiful.



















Festive fun at Bass Pro Shop.






















Christmas Cali Style


After seeing Santa and no we didn't pay the 2o bucks for a picture cuz we got a free one with a nicer looking Santa at Bass Pro Shop.
Brian is in a lolli pop trance and Lucas is waving it at me telling me to open it.




It took some coaxing for the boys to get close enough for a picture. I guess they were a bit taken back by all the Miss Ice Princess's bling.



This is practically in my parents back yard. It's the Victoria Gardens Shopping Center
It's also where the library is and where we've gone for story time quite often. I loved being in walking distance to the library.




My boys have some of the best Aunts in the world. They truely made this trip a wonderful one. My boys kept Aunt Lara and Aunt Jennette busy. Between trips to the park, Disneyland, trick or treating, gun shootin, and car racing the boys always had something to look forward to.

Our hearts and thoughts were with those that couldn't be there with us.
