A White Christmas in So Cal

We spent Christmas in So Cal with the families. We went the Sunday before Christmas and the festivities quickly began.

Candy Trains with London and Jaydon

On Monday I made candy trains with the little girls and Mom.
That night we went to a beautiful dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Lingy's. Camie and the girls, Mom and Dad, Jared, D and Caden all join us. We celebrated Diana, Jared and Dad's birthdays. Grandma made a beautiful dinner and really cool cakes. She is so talented.

On Tuesday we had a Fondue Party with Tim's family. We had so much fun trying everything out.

White Trash Trailer Park Gingerbread House

Wednesday...Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner with Tim's traditional fried chicken at his parents house with the family. After, we headed to Jared's new place for our gingerbread contest. Jared and D did the North Pole, our serious competition. Grandpa Lingy did the Northridge Earthquake, unexpected of course. Grandma Lingy did a traditional look. Then there's my mom, the most competetive of all...Venice. But nothing topped our, the White Trash Trailer Park.

We won this year and already have our plan for next year's competition.

Our hairy man is 3!

If you know us, you know we have turned into weird dog people. Our dog is freakin awesome! He is so much better, and cheaper, than kids. We celebrated his 3rd birthday on November 9. That's the day we adopted him, 2 years ago. We gave him a hair cut on his big day also and I think he still hasn't forgiven us for it.

He's a party animal!
