We spent Christmas at home this year and had a blast. Kathy cooked up a wonderful dinner of Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, rolls and two kinds of pie. Brandon read the Christmas story while Sam, Joe and Sarah acted out the parts. Samantha was thrilled Christmas morning to receive an American Girl Doll (named Samantha). We had a great day just hanging out playing will all of our new toys. On the 26th we took a trip to the Danish town of Solveng near Santa Barbra. There is nothing like a Danish pastry. After the visit, we drove to the beach and watched the sun go down. New Years Eve was spent with friends (Glaziers and Cooks). The kids had a great time dressing up and running around the house. The adults played Squabble in which the women are now two out of two. New Years Day we slept in and then had a picnic in the park. We also watched the Rose Parade and the bowl games.
