A Monterey Christmas

This year Santa came to visit us in Monterey. Kalli was excited for Christmas and had soooo many questions about how 'everything' works with Santa. She is a smart kid and super observant. If I am not more careful, she is going to have it all figured out by next Christmas!

Kalli got oodles of fun stuff in her stocking, including enough candy to last her a lifetime (thank you gpa :)

Treyvan was just happy to be with all the family. He could care less about opening presents.

Kalli's stash - some of the things on her Christmas list were a tape measure, computer and snow globe (random, I know). She got the first and last items - maybe when she is a teenager she can have the middle one. Also, this year her FAVORITE present was the mini snow globe.

Trey got this foam ax. Loved it!

This was the BIG present of the year. She loves it. Now I won't keep finding random pictures of walls, floors, closeups of feet and heads of people on my camera.

Nate got some 'tatts'. Now someone thinks he is hard core...

These are two of Trey's fave presents. He can't get enough of either one of them!

Checking out the goods

We went for a drive to the beach. (I really do like our beaches better - sorry Monterey)

We ended the day with a little nature walk not far from the house.

Christmas was perfect this year. I couldn't ask for anything else. We are very blessed to be surrounded by good friends and family, not only around Christmas, but all year long!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
