Dec. 28, 2011-Jan. 2, 2012
After Christmas we had a few days to hang out with just our little family and then we headed out to Hemet to stay at my Grandparents house with all of my siblings, except Ryan, Brittney, and little Lucy (we sure missed them). We picked up my parents and Craig at the Long Beach Airport and met up with Rachael and Jonathan, and then all drove to Hemet together. Kevin and Amy drove in from Arizona and met us there. We didn't have much on the agenda, but just being together and it was perfect. It was so relaxing! The kids had a lot of fun being together and Stella, of course, loved meeting all her cousins. :) The kids enjoyed bike riding and playing in the fountains, running around in the grass, throwing a football and playing the Wii. Marc discovered a hill, that the kids quickly named, Tumbleweed hill, and had so much fun riding bikes down.
Marc enjoyed early morning runs, every morning. He also supplied the party with Salsa and Sugar cookies (I knew there was a reason I married him. ha.). Marc also enjoyed a paint balling with all the boys (my cousin Chad and his brothers got it organized).
One of the nights we were there Chad projected the movie Dolphin Tale on a large screen and invited a bunch of people over to watch. Marc took the boys down to watch. Jackson loved it!
On New Years Eve we went over to the Jergensen's for some Bingo, where Jackson and Bennett each won a prize. Then we went back to my grandparents house where we had a countdown for the kids and played with sparklers. Stella tuckered out before the kids celebration, but we still had to get a good New Years picture of her too. :)
At church on Sunday Bennett lost his little Beary. We spent all day tracking it down. At 10:00 pm we finally got it and Bennett finally went to sleep. Thank goodness! Heaven help us if we ever really lose that little bear. Yikes! I went to buy a back up beary and found out that they don't make that little bear anymore. Yes we are in trouble!

It was fun seeing all your new posts and pictures! Stella is so stinkin' cute! She's going to be so much bigger before we get the chance to see her again!
It looks like you all had so much fun... I wish we could have been there!
