California Fun

I was contemplating Christmas this year and wondering if the kiddos had good enough presents. I know, I know, you cannot get more superficial, I was just thinking about how frugal Mom, dad, and even Santa can be at times. They all have their needs taken care of, and at this point in time, they really don't have a lot of wants. So, I was being stupid and comparing thier Christmas to some other people's. Then I realized, we spent quite a bit of time,energy, and money in coming to visit loved ones. And this gift to the children is one that, like the Mastercard ads claim, is "priceless". The children are having a lovely time playing with their cousins, we have seen them nearly every day. Mom and dad (us) are having a fun time helping out Yia-Yia and Papous with holiday tasks, sleeping in, and just having no responsibilities. It is so nice to be able to visit with loved ones and share good food and conversation, chaos from little ones, and make memories. So I thought I'd share a few priceless pictures of the cousins together on some of our outings. Yeah for family, down time, kids, and memories in the making! Happy holidays to all of our loved ones and may the New Year bring joy.
