Christmas Fun

So Eliz really wanted to see snow this year, every tv show she watches tells her that there's supposed to be snow on Christmas, so on we went on a search, determined to give her some snow this year... We got pretty lucky because it got really cold in the last 3 weeks(for souther California ofcourse)...

As we started up the mountain it looked like we weren't going to get so lucky, all we could see was fog and rain...

"We want some snow"

But then a sight of hope... a little bit snow appeared...

Gab and Eliz had never seen snow... (those are their excited faces)

Finally... Play time...

Snow Angel

Little Winking Snowman

"Snowman"

This smile sums up our little adventure and made the coldness all worth it!

We had a lot of fun at Mema and Tito's house... Good food and good company...
