The Christmas Break Post

Finally, I have finally found the opportunity to blog about our 2 weeks of "Home Sweet Home." Christmas break was awesome! As you saw earlier in my posts, we started off our break down in the LA area and went to Disneyland, Medieval Times, and had family pictures taken. We also learned that Justin was offered an internship with the Modesto Nuts, and we're still trying to finalize our plans.

We made our way back up home and we got to see both sets of families. We went to the city one night to do Secret Santa gifts within the McKissick siblings, and ate at Buca di Beppo. Christmas was with the McKissicks this year, but we got to sneak in some visitation time with my family when we had breaks. Christmas Eve, we went bowling with the McKissick Family, then stopped by at my parents home to hang out. Afterwards, we headed over to Justin's Grandparents home for Christmas Eve Dinner, the reading of the Jesus' birth (presented by the children), White Elephant, and the exchanging of gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas morning still continues to be exciting, but it was even more exciting because it was JD's first Christmas! He got some awesome toys, which include a walker, a remote control toy airplane, a sweet car track thing, and plenty of Cars cars. Justin got a GPS for his car, Psych Season 2 (which completes his collection, for now), a deep fryer, and other odds and ends. I got some fun photography stuff! I got a new lens, and accessories for a in-home DIY photography studio! Our trip to Disneyland & Medieval times was part of our Christmas present. :)

After Christmas, JD got a haircut for the first time (which I will blog about in another post), and we went to Old Sacramento before attending a Jimmer Game (aka, Kings game). It was a lot of fun. Of course, the Kings didn't win, but it was still so fun. We had a little Jimmer cheering group surrounding us. It was awesome. Justin and I also gave each other our late Christmas presents to ourselves... Jimmer Jerseys!!! We are officially Kings fans now.

 

(not that you can see... but Jimmer is on the court!)

We went to a couple other kids outtings such as museums, and children's parks. We enjoyed our time in California and being so close to family. I miss living back at home, and I hope that we get to return to the Bay Area after we are done with school!
