Fun Christmas trip to CA

We spent the week of Christmas at my Dad's family's in the San Francisco Bay area. My parents and siblings all rented a big house there. We had a great time. Allison said it was her favorite family get-together. Some highlights include:
KERRY TOLD US SHE IS EXPECTING!!
seeing the Pratts who have been in Germany for 100 years
Alex crying almost the whole way home because he missed Dallin
Nathan thinking about numbers the whole way home--adding different numbers, counting to 100 3 times and counting to 1,003--he wanted to count to 2,000 but it was 2am so I told him he had to go to sleep
going to see A Christmas Carol play in San Francisco with everyone
taking our boys to see A Tale of Despereaux movie--we liked it
going on a walk in the redwoods- very beautiful
going to the aquarium in S.F. and the boys got to touch a REAL SHARK
lots of toys on Christmas-- and we really lucked out-- Spike was broken (not by us) so the boys could play with it and then we took it back and got our $100 back!! The boys were just fine with that. We told them we'll use the $ to go see the Pratts.
Kathryn was the best baby ever
Iron Chef Pizza, but Kerry was feeling sick so Todd just made the most delicious pizza known to mankind



Dallin really loved baby Katie






















In baby Kathryn's stocking, she got a cute little pink bear and her first bottle of baby food: sweet potatoes (see the link below for pics of her covered in sweet potatoes)



Two beautiful girls:




The boys making gingerbread... crumbles (the houses turned into crumbles)




Dad was so nice to watch Katie while we went to the Christmas Carol play.
