Christmas came and went too fast!

We spent a nice Christmas in Santa Barbara this year. The kids really enjoyed all the activities leading up to the holiday. Brooke and her dad went to the Christmas parade which is always fun. Brooke danced as a little flower in the Nutcracker Suite. We went to the Museum of Natural History where they had a big snow festival (with fake snow since the weather was a balmy 70 degrees!). And we made yummy Christmas cookies which seemed to disappear really fast. Our friends Julie and Paul spent Christmas with us along with their little boy Andrew who's just a little younger than Paige. It was great having a houseful of kids.
