catchin' up

christmas with (my bro) ben:

christmas eve - eatin fondue til our britches broke at the seams. thanks again kyle & mel for the great idea.

our humble little tree, with even humbler presents underneath:

you may have noticed that ben isn't in any of the photos - dang it!
i actually took a bunch, but can't get them off the camera they are on because i can't find the cord.
we went camping 2 days before christmas at a beach-side campground in santa cruz. we went to visit the huge elephant seals, and got blasted by a sand wind-storm in the process.
we had a horribly rainy day in frisco, which stunk because it was ben's first time there, and it was hard to enjoy with all the stinkin rain. but he got to see the golden gate bridge, and the pier, and china town. we were soaked to the bone by night-time.

anyways, thanks again for coming to see us ben - we loved having you!!

Those are the same memories I have from all my childhood Christmas' (I can't figure out how to write that grammatically correct. oy.) Grandparents lived in Santa Cruz so we went to the beach on Christmas day almost every year. Of course we had rainy shopping days in SF over New Years as well.
I miss the beach day on Christmas.
