We have many traditions when it comes to Christmas. Some of which include making gingerbread houses, Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Eve Pageant, putting up our Willow Tree nativity scene, opening a gift on Christmas Eve, breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa Frei's house. We are so blessed to have all of our family here in town so we are able to see all of them for the holidays.
It's been a family tradition to make loads of candy for Christmas to give to friends and family...or just to keep and eat. I made candy with my in laws the first year Garrett and I were married and every year since I have always had to work, but this year I finally was able to do the candy making! It was...interesting to say the least. We had loads of laughs, had to make a couple batches of toffee over and over again and might have had to throw out some as well. It might now have been the most professional looking but it sure tasted good.
We forgot to take a picture of all of us at dinner, but here is one of just the girls after we ate at Samurai. We don't get together as often as we should but when we do we have so much fun.
My parents called us a few weeks ago and said we're going to DISNEYLAND the day after thanksgiving. YAHOO! If you ever have the opportunity to go during the holiday, I highly suggest it! They totally transform Disneyland to a Christmas wonderland. The haunted mansion, It's a Small World, Main Street are totally redone to be Christmas. And they have a firework show on Main Street and it SNOWS! Disneyland is truely the happiest place on earth.
NEWPORT BEACH - You can't go to Cali without going to the beach. On Sunday before we drove home we stopped to take a walk out on the pier.
