Christmas ‘08

Posted by: Courtney In: General| Photos| Video

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It lasted 4 days! We are so blessed to be able to spend time with both sides of our family during the holiday season.

On Christmas Eve Jordan’s family met us at our church, Rock Harbor. It was a beautiful service. After church everyone came to our place for dinner and to exchange gifts.

Jordan and I had a very nice and relaxing Christmas morning. We had Christmas music playing, and enjoyed chocolate milk and cinnamon rolls. Jordan’s big gift was Planet Earth on blu-ray. Mine was a Shawn Merriman Chargers Jersey. Wooo, go Chargers!!! This will be the last relaxing Christmas morning we will have for a long time so we definitely took advantage of the situation.

That afternoon we headed over to Grandma “B’s” house in Riverside to hang out. We had a nice lunch and got to catch up with Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Then from there we headed to Bakersfield for Christmas dinner with my family. My Dad’s side of the family all came over. It was so great seeing everybody! We even made a little music at the dinner table, with the help of our wonderful maestro, Scott. Here is a sample of our music. If you can guess the song you get 1,000 points.

The day after Christmas we had a relaxing day in Bakersfield. We went out to lunch with some friends we hardly ever get to see. It was great seeing everyone. It’s funny how you won’t see friends for so long but then when you get together it’s like you hang out all the time with them. :)

The Saturday after Christmas we got to visit with my other family, the Woessners. It was so great to hang out with them. That night, my Mom’s side of the family came over. It was a very entertaining night. We had a great dinner, took lots of pictures and played Partini. Here is a picture of Grammy with all of her “kids” in the family.

The day after that we headed home so we could be back in time to watch the Chargers game. They are going to the playoffs, I think my jersey is good luck! As anyone can see, our Christmas was busy but it was so much fun!

Oh, and did I mention all the stuff baby got? It’s so fun knowing how loved and spoiled this baby is and he or she is only the size of a medium shrimp!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well!!!

Baby’s 1st Ice Skating Trip

Our awesome friend Stephanie invited us to go watch the Ducks game and we got to ice skate on the rink afterwards at the Honda Center.  It was so much fun! They put on Christmas music and gave everyone free Ducks scarves. We were all nervous at first but once you get a feel for the ice it’s pretty easy. We got some autographs from some of the hockey players even though we had no clue who they were. I think baby had a great time! Thanks Stephanie (and Del Taco) for inviting us!
