12.23.2010: Christmas Eve Eve Dinner

The night before Christmas Eve, Mike, Olivia, Alisa, Andrew & Brianna all came into town. Vince, Drake and I had been in Riverside for a few days already. It rained all week...so we didn't do much but hang out, be comfy, finish up some shopping, etc. It really was some of the most torential rain they had all year. The roads were all flooded out and most around Mom & Dad's house were closed off at various times of the day. It was amazing....mainly because we LOVE the rain and enjoyed every single moment of it. Drake was a little less excited, as he likes being outside & roaming the orange groves, picking oranges, shooting his BB gun, throwing the football, etc.
Anyways, today the other kids showed up so Drake was really excited to have them there to hang with! Brent wasn't coming till Friday...same with Kenny & Nicole. Later Thurs night, Gina, Bill Chris, Mike & Scott came over for a little holiday dinner. We had a great time with them as always! Our time in Cali is always so limited so we like to make the most of it!!!
Brianna decided to become a singing sensation today. She sang her little made up songs over & over!! It was great...and she was loving the attention being up on her "stage". The boys helped her out with playing some instuments...and Andrew had a singing stint as well. I will post more videos at the end of the post :)

The blue & silver tree:
Might be the last time you see this tree in this color decor due to the results of numerous family debates!!

My turn yet??? Drake opening his gifts: Boys in their matchy-matchy attire. Compliments of Gina & Bill. They loved their new jammies!!
