Nothing Like a Little Beach on Christmas Eve!

We started this day off right...with a trip to the beach! My pics are in reverse order however. So at the end of our day we had a delicious Mexican feast with the Schraders and then shared presents.

Soph holds up her blurry tee-shirt. It's the shirt, not my photog skillz.


Nannie and the girls made our yearly favorite, Merry Xmas Cookies. The kids decorated them before they ran to get in bed.


And we ended up with these. Sooo tasty! They are NOT sugar cookies!


Grandma brought her gingerbread men to decorate. She had made those earlier in the week with the girls.


Present madness!



AAAhhhhhh, now the beach. The water was 60 the weather was around 75. I was cold. The kids were in the water! Nutz!!

I had my hood and a towel on my legs.

Soph debating on getting some skim-board action.


Um, I think you are supposed to hop ON it. Not OVER it.
