Christmas '09

This year, we started the Christmas season with a celebration at the Bolinger house and then headed to California for the actual holiday.

As is tradition on the Bolinger side, we had a crab leg & shrimp seafood feast and then opened gifts. We always have a great time together! Here are some pictures of our evening:


When we arrived to California, there was a complete itinerary for our trip already planned. We went to so many places and spent time with many family members and friends. It was such a great trip and I will do my best to summarize it.

Our first night was the "Bradish Christmas party" at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Lily had a great time hanging out with the other kids...especially Brooklynne, singing Christmas carols:

Christmas Eve was spent at Aunt Sarah's house decorating "Happy Birthday Jesus" cupcakes with Jake & Sam, eating a delicious ham dinner, and then off to Chino to view the Christmas lights:
Christmas day was our usual tradition of stockings, Christmas dinner, and then opening gifts:

We then spent the following days skiing/snowboarding in Big Bear, on the Aerial Tramway in Palm Springs, and in Santa Barbara visiting the Knode's! Here are a few pictures:


We really enjoy spending time with both families during the holiday season. We are so thankful for all that God has blessed us with...especially our families!
