Christmas in California

We returned one week ago from a fabulous trip to California to visit family and friends. It was wonderful to get together with people we haven't seen in a long time. Joe and I were proud to show off our babies! I will describe more of our trip as I post pictures. These photos were taken just before and on Xmas day.

Here are Henry and Nathan eating rocks and tanbark at the park near my mom's house:

Here is Grandma with H&N on Xmas morning:

Henry & Grandpa Dennis check out some loot from Santa:

Grandma with H&N on the wharf in Santa Cruz. These two are crazy about animals, even seagulls! Nathan especially will shout at animals as if to say to us, "Don't you see it? It's right there in front of us! Take me over there!"
