A special weekend with some of our very favorite people...

This last weekend, we got to have our Grandi and Monkey Papa with us!
We headed to the Beachcomber for at Crystal Cove to have lunch and to enjoy a beautiful day after the rain!  It was all decorated for Christmas!
Any restaurant that serves S'mores is a winner in our book!
She was delighted to see a mermaid on our walk...
Then we headed back to our house to take naps and we watched part of Home Alone with Ryder.
We wanted to rest up for an evening of Christmas lights.  We went to Brea, Fullerton, and Tustin...
We hit all of our favorites...
This was our second year doing this with all 6 of us.
 Mistletoe for the WIN!
 I think that this one may have been my favorite... 
Simple and clever!
 A live Nativity Scene where the kiddos got to pet a goat!
We ended the night with El Camino tacos:
And we took them to the house with the man that converts his entire garage into a miniature winters village.
On Sunday after church, Grandi had the BEST idea to bake sugar cookies using a man cookie cutter and decorating them like reindeer.
What an incredible weekend we had together! 
We love you, Grandi and Monkey Papa!
We are so excited for all the time that this Christmas vacation will allow for us to be together!❤︎
