Merry Christmas in California!!!

Baby's First Christmas!

Jonathon is proudly holding his baby brother at our annual family Christmas Pajama Party. Christmas in California has been so fun at Grandma and Grandpa Garduno's home! We have been busy with family parties, Christmas Tree lane, yummy food like In-N-Out, Five Guys Burgers and Edo Ya , the Nutcracker, seeing old friends and lots of my extended family, making pretty desserts and dinners with my mom, and much more!

Here we are after seeing the Nutcracker! Jonathon was ignoring the cute mice dancers that came up to him, he made no eye contact until they left, but when they saw him look as they walked away they waved and he waved back. Funny little guy I tell you!

Me, Mom, Jonathon with his little Nutcracker guy, Aunt Julie and my sister Brittany. My Uncle Channing came but he was taking the picture :)

I LOVE going to the Nutcracker, it's a must every Christmas. This was Jonathon's first time going and he loved it too! His favorite part was when the mice fight with cool swords :)

My boys taking a bath in Grandma's big sink, it's tradition :) I remember my little baby brother Alex doing this and now look at him below, over 6 feet tall! I love my cutie boys!

Enjoying Christmas day opening presents with my little guys

Jonathon's main gift from Santa was his big Bat Cave and Bat Wing! It's all Batman these days!

Caleb enjoyed eating all the paper and his new little phone that sings songs and lights up so he doesn't grab mine so much :)

Jake, my sister and I made this for my Mom and Dad. I love photo collages and this picture came to my mind in October, for my parents to have really nice pictures of them as a couple, their kids and three grandchildren, all in black and white, with a cute wall decal saying above. It turned out just I hoped! My parents had to close their eyes as they walked down the stairs and then we had them open them as we faced them right in front on Christmas morning. They can add to it along the years and everyone who stops by can see :) I'm grateful Jake is so handy and put these all up in no time, and for my sister who is a great photographer and took all these pictures.

2010 has been one of our best years! The greatest blessing of 2010, baby Caleb!!! Happy New Year's everyone, we look forward to all 2011 will bring.
