Christmas!!!

Happy NEW YEAR!!! We hope you all had wonderful holidays and made lots of memories! Here are some photos from our Christmas in California. We left Oregon on Saturday and made it to California on Monday. We escaped a snow storm and landed in sunny warm (64 degrees anyway) weather!!!

Christmas morning at Grandma Sweetie and Papa's house:

Here are FOUR GENERATIONS of Bennetts:

Christmas dinner at Mark's parents house around the table left to right: Grandpa, Grandma, Brianne, Grandma Sweetie, Uncle Ken, Aunt Janet, Aunt Lisa and at the head of the table, Papa.

The rest of us including my parents were at the "kiddie" table, ha! Not because we're kids, because we're kidders... get it, huh... huh?

Annie's Christmas attire that daddy picked out!

A family photo: Janet, Grandma (Kathleen), Papa (Mark's dad Dick), Lisa and in the middle is Grandpa (John B. Bennett)

Nathan got an RC car!!!

Annie got some dress up clothes...

with which Nathan joined in on the action as a king in "robes."

We had a great trip to and from California. Visiting our families was a lot of fun and the drive really wasn't too bad. We are home and glad to be back into the swing of things. The kids are starting up activities toward the end of January. Anne will be in gymnastics through our city rec and Nathan will be doing gymnastics trampoline through our city rec. They are both doing a library story time every Wednesday. Maybe this coming week we will let them check out books!!!

Thanks for checking in on us!

Love,

Mark, Joy & the kidletts.
