Pilgrims at Oak Ridge

The rest of the family (except my brother Austin and his family) arrived on the 26th. I loved having our house full of family.

It's a few days late, but I've been enjoying spending time with my family, most of whom has been here. As you can tell, we had a wonderful Christmas.

They love their brother.

Today I braved the traffic and crowds to see the decorations at The Grove. Judah and Naomi loved riding the trolley with Nana.

We went to church today and had a nice sunset.

One word: Nana!! Ok, 3 more: Church Christmas Party!

I took a lot of photos today. It was Naomi's second birthday (which of course requires quite a few) and the kids and I all went to a train museum here in LA called Travel Town (which necessitated quite a few more.) It was again hard to pick just one. So I didn't.  (taken by Judah!)

whoops - almost forgot to post these! I had a very cute elf helping with the Christmas cards.

There were a lot of photos today. I did a two week old photo shoot with Ezra - lots of outtakes and a few good ones. we walked around our neighborhood to see all the decorations. Most of the houses were about as tasteful as Christmas lights can be. Then there was the "stick everything Christmas-related we can find in our front yard" house. Judah loved it. They even had a snow machine.
