We had a “white Christmas” this morning…FOG. LOL. At least it is still only 36 degrees–which is cold for California! I’ll be blogging through pictures, I think, instead of writing. More fun that way!

Fog 

WOW!! 30 degrees at 8am! 🙂

Tonight was wonderful–and humorous. Only our family could do the things we did tonight! The funniest thing to me was when my Grandmother decided to have a family bet to see when my Aunt Sandee and cousin Kailee would arrive from Sacramento. So, we all had to put a dollar into the pool–kids included–and we did it by the minute. I was 8 minutes off–darn! 🙂 Everyone was so into it, and it made me smile.

I had a great visit with my Grandfather–as always. He and I have always had a special relationship, especially with our political bond. I really love my whole family–and as I get older I realize that I don’t mind the idiosyncracies as much, and I don’t mind the quirks…we are all family, we are all SO much alike…and that’s all that matters. I am so blessed to have a huge family that loves each other and spends time together!

Tomorrow will be spent with my Mom’s side of the family, and will be wonderful as well.

Merry Christmas!
