Our 80 degree Christmas

We went home to beautiful Tustin, California for Christmas and the weather was great! It has only been cold (a mere 60 degrees) about 3 times this break. The rest of the days there has been plenty of sunshine! I love the sun but Mike misses the snow in Pullman and the idea of having a white Christmas there, I believe that we'll get plenty of snow in the next couple of months so I'll enjoy the sunshine here while I can.

This year we spent Christmas Eve at Mike's house.

Here's us with the tree.

My mom and Bean.
Daniel.




Cute Kate.
Joseph, Mary, and an angel (Ethan, Annalise, Katelynn).

The Guatemalan Shepards.

Kate lost the costume and her and Anna did some dancing for everyone.
Anna in motion!

Us and Grandma and Grandpa Goldthorpe.

The happy couple in front of the tree.

Dan and Mike taking Heidi on their annual Christmas Eve walk. Although Heidi had some trouble walking, you could tell that she was happy. This is likely her last Christmas :(

We had Christmas dinner at my house. These are my grandparents with Tia my aunt's new dog. Gramps can't get enough of her.

Me with Bri and Lisa and of course Tia.



This is my cute little fam!
This is my aunt opening the quilt (I made one for my brother too)!

Cody and Tia happened to get each other the same present for Christmas...I know we're silly, our dogs get presents.



My mom and aunt have the tradition of making each other ornament's instead of getting each other presents. We always save it for the last present because it's everyone's favorite thing at Christmas. Its always fun because my aunt isn't the most artsy person but she always makes very creative ornament's. This year my mom made her an ornament with a picture of Tia in it and my aunt made my mom an ornament for the Ducks winning the Stanley Cup. They were both a big hit!



My grandpa is going through chemo right now so he always has to where a hat outside. Mike and I figured that the best way to go outside is in style so we got him a WSU hat!

Danny and Bri decorating cookies after dinner.
Me, Lisa, Mike.

Mike decorated the Santa and I, of course, decorated the Tinkerbell.



We went down to Long Beach to check out the lights on the houses by the canals. This was my favorite house but the picture didn't come out that well.


Anna wanted to take a picture with this snowman. She looks so big!


The Williams fam!

Happy Kate!

For some reason I really wanted to take a picture in these chairs.



Us with Eth.

JJ and I.
