California Christmas 2013

This year, we spent 11 days in California during our Christmas break!  Although most of the adults were sick with the flu during our visit, we still managed to fit in some fun times!  We were thankful to have warm sun and an opportunity to be outdoors.  Enjoy viewing our trip through pictures:

New Years Eve lunch at ShoGun!

This was Jackson's first time in a Japanese Steakhouse.  He was mesmerized by the chef!  And this chef kept talking to him, too.  Jackson loved it.

  

On New Year's Day, we took a trip to view the floats from the Rose Parade.  What a beautiful sight they were!

Grandpa's silly attempt at "photo-bombing"

Time to head home to K.C.
What a fun Christmas vacation!
