Chirstmas in California!

Well first off Happy New Year!! So far the year has been treating us well! Rob is back in school and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things at work, had a rocky start but it seems to be going well now.
We had a GREAT time in California! We left on Christmas eve at 7am. I told my parents that I would have to work till 1 so we wouldn't be there till 1am. My dad was a little bummed, but im sure he got over it. Rob and I love to make the drive together to California. It reminds us of when he came home to meet my family for the first time! We played 20 questions 7 times and got to know eachother VERY WELL! This trip makes it 2 years since Rob asked my dad for my hand! SOOO CUTE! Well we ended up arriving into Oceanside around 6:30 pm. I had called my mom about an hour before we got into town telling her to bring dad home from work, because we left early. When we got there we creeped up to the door and rang the doorbell. My dad came to the door and was SOOOOOO SUPRISED! He had NO idea we were coming home sooo early!! It was a christmas gift in itself to see his happy smile and his wonderful daddy hug! We came in and had some snacks and read the christmas story together!
The next morning we all woke up and opened gifts. After that my grandma and grandpa came over and we had a WONDERFUL Christmas meal and just enjoyed their company. After dinner we decided to go down to my sister Carolynn and borhter in laws home for a little visit in San Diego! It was amazing to see how much the kids had grown! Seth is now 7, Cali is 5 and Hanna 1. The kids got the Wii resorts game from Santa so Seth was ALL over that! We watched him for awhile and just talked.
The next few days we spent alot of time with Kelly, my little sister. We went to LA and went celebrity seeing! hahaha it was soooo much fun! Before her mom passed away we did it once for her birthday. So we decided, in memory of her mom and kelly's birthday we decided to go again!
