The Holidaze

We had a great Chrismas Eve & Day here in Santa Barbara... mainly because my parents and brother were able to be here from Minnesota, which was great... however, for them, celebrating on the beach at sunset in 65 degree weather seemed odd, but we loved having them with us and celebrating here this year. Christmas Eve was spent watching the beautiful sun set over the Pacific and then eating together a delicious Christmas Eve Dinner at The Boathouse... after that, we drove around a bit and looked at Christmas lights, headed back to our house to open a few gifts, eat a yummy dessert and watch The Polar Express. So fun! Christmas morning came early with presents, breakfast, lots of coffee and Steve's family joining us for lunch and more presents and food -- it was awesome to have both sides of our family here and all of us hanging out in the California sunshine!
