Merry Christmas Day from Southern California! by Weezilou

Merry Christmas Day from Southern California!

I hope your Christmas Day was as delightful as our was! It was "the most unique" we ever shared! With 3 grand kids, 3 & under, there was no controlling the events of the day...and I've concluded that kids are the best "Event Planners" ever! Ashton (3) designated himself as the one who should unwrap presents for everyone... Bodhi (21 mo) was enchanted with his older cousin and spent the morning hugging him and "climbing on him". Dylan (8 mo) smiled and was content with all the trappings of the morning...that ran into afternoon...and until bedtime...

We had an 80 degree day, so even before all the presents were opened, we drifted outside to swim and enjoy each other's company. Which brings me to my photo choice...

I'd bought "the props", thinking of the playful fun we'd have, wearing Christmas outfits and posing around the Christmas tree... It didn't work out as I'd pictured it, but I absolutely love this representative picture of the fun we had today My family agrees!

Merry Christmas...enjoy the coming week...and let's get ready to welcome 2014!
It looks like you all had a wonderful day, and 80', now that is a nice thought about now. I bet you all had a great time together. Family is what this time is all about.

So this is Christmas without snow. Thinking I could get used to 80 degrees temperature too! Love the props and how you managed to go with the flow for the day. Merry Christmas Louise and hope to see you in 2014.
