This year we celebrated Christmas in California with my side of the family. The Sunday before we left we had a small Christmas party with Dan's fam at our house.
The best part was playing candy land and hide-and-seek with grandpa and Auntie Sandra after the girls opened their gifts.
Sharon is so fun to play hide-and-seek with. She lets you know the whole time you are (pretending) to look for her where she is.
Mom: "where could that little Sharon Combs be? I have no idea!"
Sharon: I'm in your closet mommy (just in case I didn't hear...again) I'm in your closet mommy!
We then spent a fun relaxing week in Sacramento with my family! Some highlights...
1. Me and Dan getting hooked to the game Rummikub.
2. Seeing how much Sharon and Kami-cakes adore one another. They are best buds! Last night she was helping me set the table for dinner. She was so excited to set a spot for Kami and was so sad when I said Kami is in California and wont be having dinner with us in Utah. She just cried and said "I want Kami."
3. Seeing Katie's face light-up when she received her princess Tiana dress-up for Christmas. It broke the bank but was so worth it! Before we left her oupa bought her a Jasmine dress-up which she loves! A girl can't have too many dresses right;)
4. Spending a night with my hubby in San Francisco for my birthday. We watched "THe Blind Side" and "Avatar" (both great flicks). We had dinner on the sunny Fisherman's Wharf.
5. Seeing my sister's gorgeous new house.
6. Loving my sister's amazingly wonderful 3 month old son Dylan;)
7. Just being with my family. When Dan and I got back yesterday we both felt a little sad.

Christmas is all about the kids, and family, their little faces shine when they open the gifts, that is so much fun.

YAY for sleeping under the tree! :)
So this is late---but MERRY CHRISTMAS Combs family (and I guess I should add- happy new year! and apparently Happy Birthday to you and Dan recently). You all look so fantastic!! And Melissa, I hope you are SHOWERED with compliments every single day on your radiant maternal glow!! Wowza girl- you are just beautiful. It's been too long since we all got together- hopefully Scott or Dan will plan something soon (they're the only 2 who ever do the planning ;)
The highlight for me was taking the girls to see the second Chipmunk movie. I miss them so much. Just call and I'll be there!
