Merry Christmas

There are lots of things I love about Christmastime -- the lights, the music, the treats, the gift-giving and receiving. But with all that Christmas brings, I can't help but occasionally come back to the simplicity of what it really is all supposed to be about -- remembering the miracle that our Savior came to earth.

Merry Christmas!

Let it Snow!

It's cold and rainy here in California today, so I can't say it doesn't feel at all like winter. But, really, with Christmas coming I must say I'm missing a good, old-fashioned Rocky Mountain snowstorm. So, I've been digging up some tricks to make it feel a little more "snowy" around these parts, including this great snow-falling-on-the-blog trick, and a couple of fun winter pictures from days gone by. So, for anyone else missing snow right now, I hope you enjoy.

Happy happy turkey weekend

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend with my family in town! Here's a recap:
We saw Stanford campus.
We went shopping in Chinatown. Christian was in heaven . . . Kaitlyn was not.

We hung out at the Bay.

And met a long lost "cousin" on the Trolley car.

We went to Monterey.

Christian was in heaven again (a crab and a sand dollar, what could be better!)
That's about it! Oh yeah, we had turkey too.
