Hands Down, Best Christmas Ever part 2

So after the Disneyland trip we headed Down to San Diego to stay with my family. Matt had to work the whole week, but he didn't mind. He knows how much it means to me to be able to spend time with my family. I'm not gonna lie though, during the summer it's hard for him to sit and work while we're all at the beach playing. The night we got there we opened presents, and we got my parents a web-cam, so now they can see the kids whenever they like. Most of my time was spent out shopping with my mom and sister and eating of course...Mexican food and sushi...When I still lived at home I'd always go to the movies with my dad. So of course we had to go see a movie. We saw Tron. It was good, kinda nerdy, but Matt loved it ;)...On New Years eve we watched movies, I went to bed at like 10:30, and Matt stayed up with my dad. And on New Years day we got up early and went to Miramar Lake, so Matt and I could run. My parents walked with the kids. Jacob fed the ducks, and I don't think "ducks" is even the right word...because there had to be at least 100 ducks, it was a little overwhelming. And we could hear the geese in background, and my mom was paranoid the whole time that we were going to get attacked...but we survived...We also did something we had never done before, we rented bikes and rode down by mission beach. It was so much fun, I can't wait to go back and do it again! If your planning on going to San Diego, it's a must do! (it was only like 12 dollars a bike for 4 hours)

My parents have a lot of animals, 1 bird (usually 2 but for some reason the #2 bird always dies), 1 dog, 3 cats, ton of fish, 2 kids still living at home, and a rabbit. Jacob loves it, I'm sure he'd love to have a pet, but no thank you...

"Beach Grandma"

"Beach Grandpa"
Jacob really calls them beach grandma and grandpa

Even though it was hard being away from our home for almost two weeks, it was a much needed break for me. And thank you Matt for being so awesome and willing to sit at my parents kitchen table for hours and work, so I could be out having fun with my fam!
