Elephant seals near Hearst Beach. Asher by a beached Elephant seal. Peter, buried in the sand! We just got back from a lovely after Christmas vacation in California. We spent a quiet, lovely Christmas at home and the day after left for California. We spent 3 lovely days with my sister Larissa, seeing also David and Amber and Doug and Sheelah and then 3 days with Mom and Dad Abbott, the Kleinmans and the Andersons. On our way home, we stopped off at Gma Bettys and saw Tommy and family and Larissa and Doug and Sheelah again. It was like having 4 mini Christmases and the kids had a blast! One of their best gifts was a set of bey-blades which the boys played non-stop for several days. We made it safely home and we happy to get back to find Sadie our dog dirty and happy from the farm she stayed at and Sadie the Snake had molted in her cage. At a lunch stop on the way home, Ethan was running to catch a plastic bag and ran into a brick wall, putting a gash in his upper lip. It may scar, so we...

Josh was so sweet and made us all waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. Jonah came down and said "Is it General Conference today?" (that's our usual Conference tradition. I went and built Gingerbread houses (we hot glued them together) for Ethan's Christmas Party today. When I came home I found that someone ( my sweet Visiting Teachers) had hearted my door.
