Our Christmas Festivities

So it finally came & went. We had an incredible Christmas holiday that lasted several weeks. We went to see house lights in Fountain Valley, the big tree at Fashion Island, Kaden's Christmas program at school, a party at Vaughn's grandparents in Vista, Christmas Eve with my family in Northridge & Christmas Day at home with my mom and Vaughn's parents.

The kids in front of the 115 foot tree at Fashion Island.

The kids running around like maniacs near the big tree...you'd think they never get out.

Ashlyn squealing with delight at neighborhood Christmas lights.


Kaden & Vaughn in front of a tree with a billion twinkling lights.

Ashlyn & Kaden playing Great-Grandma & Grandpa's piano.

Ashlyn amused with Kaden's white elephant gift. Without being prompted, Kaden waited patiently through several people opening gifts for his turn to swap his unopened gift with Great Grandpa's spinning light fan. It was funny that he grasped the concept without any explanation.

Kaden showing off a new car.

Kaden & Mommy at the Lechuga Grandparent's.

Kaden & Grandpa Dave putting together a Superman puzzle...over & over again.

Ashlyn & Grandma Crystal opening fruit for her new shopping cart.

The kids in their new ball house. They wouldn't come out to open other gifts!

The kids with their stockings. They were so patient it was amazing...maybe they were just overwhelmed by all the gifts. I think we opened the last ones around 4pm.

Kaden testing his new golf clubs from Grandma Roxie.

Grandpa Stephen, Grandma Leasa, along with aunts Kaitlin & Becca opening gifts.

Ashlyn loving one of her Christmas purses. She loves emptying them, talking on the phone & transferring items from purse to purse...such a girl!

The kids making a royal mess out of the sugar cookies with Grandma Roxie.
