winter break tradition - surfing!

waves were up so off we went! it was super fun.

thanks to grandpa, we had these super great hoods to keep us warm.

poor grant was freezing. i think we need to get him a real wetsuit!

christmas!

don't tell grant, but i'd let chase play with buddy the elf while he was at school.

(grant would be horrified.) chase loved to play with him and he often 

ate lunch with us or watched TV with chase. hilarious!

decorating cookies

i think this was the day they went on a bike ride/run for 7 miles...

grant was tired.

jason got them silly string and they loved it!

it was beautiful weather on christmas day. 

perfect for playing with all the toys
