A Beachy Christmas

This year we spent Christmas in Pismo Beach with Jeff's family.  It was a ton of fun especially for the kids!  And by kids, I mean Jeff.  He finally got his surf on!  Even though I don't get how ice cold water with a wet suit, booties, and a hood is fun, but whatever.  Rozzi LOVED playing with her cousins and HATED touching the sand, until she got taught how to make footprints in it.  Then it was cool.

First trip to the beach.  

Unless you count when she met Kelly Slater at Rincon when she was two months old.

Churf!

So there are also some awesome sand dunes in Pismo Beach that we hung out at.  And if you haven't figured it out all ready there are a million pics so be prepared!

Looks like she was having fun...even though she was yelling "I wanna go bye bye" the whole time!

Dave & Jonah

After a ring pop and some coaxing she finally touched the sand!

And I guess I should put up some semi-Christmassy pics.  So here's a few from Christmas morning:

These two were instant BFFs!

Getting Ready for the Holidays

So the lack of blogging has been due to us not being able how to get some funky lock off of our camera for the past 5 months.  Well that and pure laziness.  But anyway, here's what we've been up to lately- 

A trip to Utah for Thanksgiving, which included the Temple Square lights of course.  We had a great time and Rozzi had tons of fun with Grandma & Grandpa and her uncles!

Our first year of cutting down our own Christmas tree with our favorite neighbors!  This was the most fun I've had in a long time and will definitely be a future tradition.

A bunch of Holiday parties, including a toddler Christmas party Rozzi threw for her friends.  I didn't get any pics but thanks to Pinterest for all the fun ideas (and for taking over my life)!
