Christmas 2017

Things have been busy lately, but I finally have time to update you on Christmas. Only eleven more months till the Christmas decorations come back again. Woohoo!

Annual Christmas tradition

We've been going to Bethlehem even before we were married. This has become a tradition. It was much easier this year (sorta) since I didn't have to work. But imagine picking up all three kids, getting dinner, going to the Bethlehem showing (roughly an hour long), then going back home. Exhausting! 

Another tradition

We've also been doing this since we were dating. We used to go at night, but learned that it was more fun for the kids to go during the daytime when they can see everything. We went during the beginning of their Christmas break when everyone else was in school. It was pretty empty!

Like their mother, these kids are most likely going to grow up in San Jose

I need to get a Nutcracker in the house for next year

A newer tradition

This is our second year enjoying the perks of being season ticket holders. 

Don't let Jimmy G go!

The older kids are no longer scared of Clifford

School Christmas performance

Each year, the house gets more and more Christmas-y. I love shopping for Christmas stuff after Christmas and grabbing the most random knick knacks for next year.
