More Pictures

Here is the link for more pictures from Christmas.

Christmas Morning





Christmas morning was pure joy! Family, good food and coffee (thanks to my new Keurig milk frother from Santa), and watching the magic of Christmas through Hunter's eyes. Ga Ga and Pa Pa (Doyl's parents) and both my sisters actually got to our house by 6:00 am to witness Hunter's reaction to finding out Santa had come during the night. Hunter ran directly to the biggest gift, which was wrapped in "Cars" paper, and immediately tore into his Santa gift. A Bruder, flat bed truck with a back hoe loader. Xavier loved his new piano and Hunter's drum.

The Perfect Turkey


After three years of the not-so-perfect Christmas turkey, we finally got a perfect turkey. It was a true Christmas miracle. After it took over 90 minutes to roast a dinky chicken this summer, I had my Viking oven serviced. That, combined with putting the turkey in a bag, and cooking on convection, our 15 pound Christmas turkey came out of the oven after 3 and half hours, cooked perfectly. Cathey was truly tickled. Here is a picture of the grandmas and the perfect turkey.

Santa Claus is coming to town!


The boys got to meet Santa today! Hunter asked for a flatbed truck and a reindeer. We were just thrilled that both Hunter and Xavier sat on Santa's lap and looked at the camera!

Who says we don't have seasons in LA?
