Christmas Day - December 2009

Summer finally sat still long enough for a cute smile.
My mom started a tradition when I was little, to take a picture of us in front of all of our gifts, so we could look back and remember what we liked at a certain age. So in case Ben forgets, when he was five, he loved pirate ships, trains and big wheels!

Summer liked all of her gifts and has been having a great time playing with her new dollhouse. She was excited to get pretty pony stuff too because she really loves animals.
After a big breakfast we headed to the beach to hang out for a while. It was chilly, so the kids were content just playing in the sand.

And later in the day the kids rode their bikes and of course Ben had to try out his big wheel. Summer thought it was fabulous to stand on the back. They were so cute together!! This year, I had a mellow day, just hanging out with the family, rather than making a huge Christmas dinner. Instead, we had appetizers and snacked through out the day. It worked really well for us this year.

I bet it is hard for the "Utahians" to see green grass and a trip to the beach in December.
