The End of 2010

We had a very busy end of the year. So busy I never had time to blog or get any of the million things I wanted to done. Over Thanksgiving break we went down to sunny San Diego, only it wasn't very sunny. It was SO COLD! We visited with Dino, Aki and Sara and took the kids to Legoland. Sara went with us which was fun to spend the say with her. What an awesome cute girl she is. We had a blast at Legoland but froze while doing it. The rides were geared towards little kids. So most of the time Chyna,Sara and Savannah were kind of bored. Gabriel and Gillian really liked it. Alot of the rides are very interactive and Chyna didn't think that you should have to work on a ride. :P
These three were so excited to have a chance in the lion.


Chyna was embarrassed that her mom made her climb in the lion.
I don't think Sara knew she was even in the lion????


Gabriel's absolute favorite ride. We had to do it several times.
Once again these two were embarrassed they were even on the ride.
The most awesome part of Legoland is looking at all the things they built. It was absolutely fascinating. I could just walk around and look at everything and skip the rides altogether.

A roller coaster that you have to peddle yourself?
A free fall that you have to pull yourself up the rope and then let go.
Not only are they bored but now they have rope burn.
Once again the beautiful artwork out of legos.





Next came Christmas. It was a peaceful relaxing way to celebrate the birth of Christ. We celebrated with my side of the family on Christmas Eve and got into our usual weird family debates. Then on Christmas morning we woke up to find that Santa had come in the middle of the night. The kids must have been good because they all got what they asked for. :)

Uggs for Chyna
Legos and Toy Story toys for Gabriel.
Even Odie got a sock monkey and a skunk.
Nintendo DSi for Gillian.
Oh and of course sugar...
And a Nintendo DSi for Savannah.


We had lots of fun and enjoyed Christmas dinner with some dear friends of ours the Wadsworth's. I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful year with my kids and friends and family. I am truly blessed and hope for another wonderful year in 2011.
