Christmas Family Memories

We hosted our largest Christmas family celebration yet. The week was filled with an adult night out for dinner and live music, a dinner out to a Japanese steak house, a visit to church, our first Christmas Eve dinner, sledding, bowling, bonfires, and of course, presents. But most of all it was filled with family time together. It was a special week and we were honored to have our extended family with us!

Pergandes in California

The family went out to Californa on December 7th for our good friend Bill Frank's wedding. Mom and Dad got all dressed up for a fancy affair at the Beverly Hills Hotel while Presley and Canyon stayed with Grandpa and Grammy Liz. We extended our trip in California to celebrate Daddy's 41st birthday. We headed to San Diego where we went to the amazing San Diego Zoo. Afterwards, we met up with Auntie Annie at the famous Hotel Del Coronado. Annie watched the kids while Mommy and Daddy golfed one of their funnest and best rounds ever at Steele Canyon Golf Club. We hung out at the hotel at night and enjoyed great sunsets, bonfires, and live music! It was a very fun adventure!

Life is a bit out of control right now

I realized it's been almost a month since my last update. Mom has been swamped with work. I have been to Toronto and Cincinnati this past month and have only been in the office like 2 days in the last 60. Crazy! As a result, I am behind on everything. I have a couple pictures here from the last month. The first is the kids visit with Santa. He came to Mommy's work for a Christmas breakfast. Canyon asked him for an arcade (a real arcade -- "only 10 or so games") and Presley asked for a Batman T-shirt. Santa will have a hard time trying to manage equality. I've also included a picture from the General Mills corporate jet. It's definitely the way to travel when you have to travel. Easy in, easy out and great great food. More pictures from our trip to LA and San Diego soon!
