I guess Its time for an update...

Ok well this past month has been a busy one, the day after Thanksgiving I braved the Black Friday shopping and got all my Christmas shopping done that day and had everything wrapped about two days later. Then we were planning on driving up to Utah on Christmas eve for Christmas at my families house but My mom was busy with work and was trying to figure out how to get all the shopping and decorating and cooking done before Christmas when everyone was coming on Christmas Eve and she had to work all day Christmas Eve, so I found a 10 dollar flight from here to Vegas on the 12th and flew out on the 14th. I was there for about 10 days before Chris drove up with his mom. We made Christmas cookies and bread and pie. Then on Christmas Eve Chris and Carol drove up and we had a great Christmas, Duncan had been asking for Hungry Hungry Hippos for about 3 months and so my mom had bought it for him, When it had come time to open his presents we saved that one for last. He started opening it and saying what is it what is it? Its Its Its HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS!!!!!!!! He was so happy that's all he talked about all night. Of course he got tons of Buzz Light year stuff also which he loved! It was so great to have my whole family there. On Christmas day we took the kids to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 and then had dinner! The next day we did family pictures in the freezing cold but they turned out great! We are so grateful for Autumns new Camera! Beckham sat and took it all in, and loved all the attention, Now I just have to ween him from wanting to be held all the time. I will add pictures later today!

Our Weekend in Santa Barbara!

This past Weekend we got to get away, My niece was blessed in Santa Barbara. We got there on Friday and had dinner at this amazing pasta place called Pastavino. They had great food! Following the great pasta we proceeded to get great Ice cream! I seriously think I gained 20 pounds this trip! Saturday morning we all went to the Santa Barbara Zoo, Not to knock on our good ol Chaffee Zoo but this Zoo was great! It had Lions and a snow Leopard, and Giant Gorillas. We had a blast and saw some great things! Then we went to dinner at Los Arroyos! Again Yummy Mexican food!. Sunday was great to see little Brinley Blessed, then get to relax with family. Brinley and Beckham are 4 days apart but if you were to look at them they look like they are months apart. Beckham is our little monstar, he is 4 pounds bigger but looks much bigger and she is a little petit thing. Her little brother Ryland couldnt say Brinley so he called her "winnie dirl" So now we all like to call her winnie. We got some great photos of her and Beckham. I cant wait for Christmas when we are all together again.

This was our stop for lunch at Burger King and Duncan turned his Crown upside down and said he was not a king but he was a knight!

This is Kaiden and Duncan, Duncan just loves his older cousin, He looks up to him! I love that he does because Kaiden is such a good kid!

This is the Otter that Chris wanted to take home with us for a pet, But the Zoo didnt like that Idea much
