December 2010

This will be the last of back-log. From here on out, we will try to keep things up-to-date. December was a busy month. We started the month out in New York City for Michelle's Birthday. It was a great time!

Here are some pictures from our sister-in-law's baby shower. She's due in February and it was fun to be back in PA for the celebration.

Four generations - Michelle's grandpa, father, brother, and of course Sid.

After returning from our trip in PA, we began preparing for Christmas. For the first time in our 7 years of marriage, we got a real Christmas tree. It was so exciting! Though all of our decorations are in Czech, we were still able to decorate our house with Christmas things. It really made our home feel more like a home. On Christmas Eve we started a new tradition. As Sid grows and as we have more children, on Christmas Eve they will get to open two presents. One will be Christmas pajamas and the second will be a game for all of us to share. Then we can play it throughout the night. This year Sid got Elefun. He loved it!!

Sid was way excited for his first Christmas Eve present

On Christmas morning we first opened our presents. Then on to the bigger presents. Sid loved his Thomas the Tank Engine track set.

After having the family over for our traditional waffle breakfast, we went on a hike with Wes's sister Emily and fiancee Travis. The Lord gave us a beautiful day for celebrating His birth. I was praising him the entire time I was looking over the Santa Clarita Valley.

On the 27th, we made our last trip to Sea World. It was our last chance before our passes ran out. I will miss that place:-(

We tried something new this time. We took the skyride across the bag. It was so much fun! Definitely a great way to end our trip to Sea World.
