Christmas in Oakland!!!
On Tuesday night we went with some friends to the Oakland LDS Temple to see the lights! The temple is always beautiful, but it's fun to go at Christmas time and see the Nativity and everything lit up. We have never taken the boys to this temple before, so they were very excited, as were we!!!

Ryan's Preschool Christmas Program!!!
Last Thursday Ryan's preschool had their annual Christmas Program!!! He was very excited and had been singing some of the songs at home throughout the last month or two. I was a little nervous, because let's just say he was less than eager to participate in the Primary Program at church 2 months ago, so I didn't know how he would do. But, there was no need for nerves, he did great!!!
He was ready to go and be an angel!!!

The song they are singing here was his favorite, "Soft, Sweet Hay."
Please ignore the movement of the camera, I had a 21 month old climbing on me and bumping me throughout the filming of this video!
We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and keep in mind the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as you celebrate the Holiday!!!

We had an agreement that when he completed his degree, he could get a PS3! He was surprised though!
He also got a shot gun he had wanted from his Mom and Dad!!! (We missed you Ben and Patti!!!)

Yesterday was Justin's actual birthday and he turned the big 31!!! He now says he's well into his 30's!!! We celebrated by going out to dinner with the boys! We then took them to a friends house so we could go to a movie!

Holiday Parade!!!
Last Saturday we had Family Fun Night and headed to Lathrop to watch the annual Holiday Parade! We sat in the car until the rain stopped, then we bundled up the boys and got out to watch the parade!
Ryan was content sitting in the chair while we waited...

After a few minutes, it was back to the chair...
