Although we were not able to make it back to the midwest for the holidays, we watched the crazy weather as it unfolded on the weather channel. We are thinking that we would have spent the holidays in the airport...awaiting a flight that may or may not have gotten us to where we needed to be. Instead, Christmas Eve day, we grabbed the ball and bat and a few neighborhood kids and headed to the park for a game of baseball. It was 55 degrees and the sun was shining. After the baseball game, we threw some steaks, shrimp and veggies on the grill and enjoyed a yummy dinner. We then "skyped" my parents and sister and we watched each other open the gifts. Kathryn scored a skateboard from her grandparents...she's pretty good with it already.
On Xmas day, Kat woke up at 7am and ripped through the gifts. Thank you to Aunt Elaine and Uncle Jim (Kathryn wore that shirt skiing today, she loves the jeans!) and Miki and family, we played with the playdough for two hours! We spent the entire day playing with all of the toys she received.
Today, Dec. 26th, we hit the slopes (Dodge Ridge Ski Resort) and finished out day off with some sushi.
Merry Christmas.
We have also planned New Years Eve. We got the dog into our favorite kennel. We made reservations at the Hyatt over looking the bay in San Fran. We will be ringing in the New Year, watching the fireworks fly high above the SF bay. I can't wait for Thursday! Stay tuned for the photos. Thanks for checking in!
