Then Christmas Day, we went to breakfast with Tom & Norma then to their house for presents! After that we went to my Aunt Teri's, then my Uncle Jeff's, then my Mom's, then Aunt Donna's!! It was a crazy day, but tons of fun!!!

I think I have a pic like this from Thanksgiving...they look like they are having a blast, don't they?

Heath was stoked about our little boys 49er gear :)

Now we are off to Aunt Donna and Uncle John's, the last stop of the day...we came at the perfect time...white elephant gift exchange time...this always makes for interesting nights :)

Me and Colleen

They ended the night with shots all around...I obviously just watched and took pictures :)

Hope everyone had a VERY Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year...Cheers to 2009!!!

big bear!!!

The day before Christmas Eve, Heath's very good friend Jason and his wife Holly invited us up to Big Bear to stay with them! We were so excited!! We haven't been up there in a while and were excited to see all the snow they had just gotten!! We went out for pizza when we got there at an AMAZING pizza place, then we went home and played some Taboo...and OF COURSE me and Holly kicked Heath & Jay's boootay....then the next morning, the three boys woke up and went sledding behind the cabin...I am so bummed, I took those pics on my other camera and can't get them off of there...it was hilarious!

Heath thinks he is a mountain man growing out his beard...

The adorable cabin!

Our attempt to get Talen to look at the camera :)

My lame attempt to take a picture of the GORGEOUS Christmas tree....pic does NO justice.

The many faces of their CUTEST little boy Talen :)

No more pictures Auntie Michelle!!

No trip to the snow is complete without a snowman!

christmas boat parades!

So this year we attended TWO boat parades! I just love Christmas and always try to take it ALL in, because it comes and goes way too fast! So this year, Heath and I invited our friends Erynn, Patrick and their son Will to the Eastlake Boat Parade in Yorba Linda. Patrick was out of town but Erynn and Will still joined us...it was freezing but fun!

Will so cute all bundled up!

Erynn and Will

Then the next weekend we went ON a boat in the Newport Harbor Boat Parade...our boat was not decorated...but next year it will be, we learned..LOL...it was lots of fun, but my camera died...oops...so I didn't get many pics

Our little Duffy...

I'm pretty funny...

In December we went to the famous UCLA vs. USC game at the Rose Bowl....we got there SUPER early and hung out all day!! I think we were there something like 14 hours...craziness!!

Yes, it was still dark when we got there, and this group had Dj Jazzy Jeff already bustin' the tunes....

Let the games begin...yes look at the scoreboard...ok, ok, I know it was short lived but I loved every last second of the 3 minutes UCLA was winning...

We thought they were going to fight...it was funny
