I can not begin to tell you how happy we are to be in CA right now and not in Rexburg, I'm am really sad to be going be going back, like really sad. After a kinda crazy yucky scary drive (which is a completely different story) from Rexburg we made it to Los Alamitos and we have been having a great time ever since. We had a great Christmas. My wonderful parents got us some socks and a day at Disneyland! So lets start from the beginning.
On Christmas Eve we had our normal Christmas eve food... clam chowder from the Fish company... red and white kind.
Here we are on Christmas morning (looking like we just woke up)... Thats the camera me and George bought for ourselves. Happy Christmas to us!
After we opened gifts the men went golfing... which kinda sucks because it rained but they had a great time. While they were golfing the ladies went to a movie. It was fun girl time. When the movie was over we went home and started cooking... Prime Rib Eye roast... so goooodd!!
veggies with home made ranch...
And the only thing that went wrong all day... we tired to make spinach and artichoke dip...but the spinach was old and the artichokes were marinated so it tasted kinda gross... but it was still fun. We also made brownies and mashed potatoes and salad and rolls and other things.
And then the boys got home... and they were cold because of the rain so they got in the hot tub and it started to pour! it was pretty crazy! and by the way Christmas day was the only day we had yucky whether! (yes, Folks that's my dad and my two brothers! This is one of my favorite pictures of the trip)
Then we went to Disneyland the next day. Here's the family all loaded up in the van ready for a big kinda cold day at Disneyland!
Poor Ryan was the 7th wheel all day... so here he is with his date.Since Disneyland we have just kinda been hanging out. We went Ice Skating. We met up with some of Georges friends that live down here (of course no camera). We had a pretty low key New Years stayed at home with the family and friends. New years day we went to the driving range and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I'm soaking up all the sun shine i can because we go back to the frozen land of Idaho. Over all we have had a great couple of weeks and we are sad to leave in a few days.

I wish I could have been down in California for Christmas! It has been crazy weather out in the midwest and utah. Sounds like you've had a fun holiday!
What a fun post! Love Ryan's girlfriend...
I remember a horrible trip home from good ol' RICKS. It was Thanksgiving 1991, the weather was cold and it had snow a thousand feet! Grandpa and Grandma drove me home for the holiday and it took us over 8 HOURS in their truck. The trip normally took 4 hours. Imagine...me, Grandpa cussing like a sailor, and Grandma yelling at Grandpa to quit complaining. "Oh Earl!" Good times, good times.
