December Happenings

When we got home from Temecula, we pulled out Christmas and put up our tree.  Bailey unwrapped and opened every ornament to hang on the tree.  She started singing Christmas songs and dancing around~so excited!  

Our church hosted the first lighting of the advent candle right on the corner of PCH and Webb Way in Malibu.  We sang Christmas carols around the Nativity…and the kids were in shorts and short sleeves!  Malibu in December!
Happy Girl
Sweet, cuddly sisters
 Bailey put on a show for us and Cassia was her #1 fan!
 We hosted the Campus Ministry Interns for our annual Christmas party.  Lots of silly gifts and laughter are part of a fun night!
Ryan and Cassia
 Most of the 2013-2014 Intern Team
Rachel and Cassia
 Bailey and her class from CBS sang a few songs for the ladies~so precious.
 Christmas cookie decorating with Marianne and Evelyn (missing the Tallon kids)
Yum--look at all those sprinkles!
 My little laundry helper
 Bailey and I were able to go and to see The Nutcracker that Evelyn was in.  It was a wonderful show and Evelyn was amazing!
 Our annual family pic around the Pepperdine Christmas tree!
 University Church Christmas Party, Potluck and Pageant
 Cassia loved the ice cream punch...
Bailey got to be an angel this year!  During the pageant she said, "And peace on earth, good will to all!"
Lily, Evelyn, Bailey, and Claire
 At the end of the evening, Santa and Mrs. Claus always make an appearance.  Cassia was really unsure of Santa and his beard. 
 Merry Christmas!!
