1.We got to meet our cousin Max for the first time. He is such a cutie, he is 4 months younger than Seth but weighs the same! It was also great to see Natalie & Philip, we hadn't seen then in a year.
2. We ate out at our favorite Japanese Restaurant Kobes.
3. It took us forever to get anywhere with a 3 year old and 2 babies! Max & Seth were on different sleeping schedules...
4. The boys saw lots of movies.
5. We played baseball and golf outside. (Marcus played in the backyard, Jon got to play on the real course)
6. The boys got to see their great-grandparents. Great-Grandma & Grandpa Lake took us to O'Donnell golf course for lunch on afternoon. It's not a trip to Palm Springs without eating there. They also took Marcus to Jack in the Box for lunch one day.
7. We had Christmas Eve with the Lake family. We had yummy soups and Grandpa Lake read us the nativity story in Luke 2.
8. Christmas evening when we got home we had a surprise visitor! Santa came to see Marcus and ask him if he had been a good boy! Marcus was so intrigued by Santa, but he wasn't scared and even gave him a hug! Unfortunately Uncle Russell didn't get to see him...
9. Christmas morning was so fun. Marcus loved the Bike Santa brought for him and the living room was a mess with wrapping paper.!
10. We went into Orange county to visit the cousins. We had dinner and played games till the wee hours of the morning... Marcus had a ton of fun playing with the older kids. He even got to sleep in Spencer's bottom bunk bed - he thought that was really cool.
11. We went swimming in the Jaquzzi!!!
12. New Years was kinda a dud - I got really sick New Year's Eve day. That was the beginning of the end. I got sick, then better. Marcus got sick - with PINK EYE - I got sick again, Seth got a cold then PINK EYE then, I got PINK EYE!!! We changed our flight home because everyone was so contagious and it was nice having my mom to help. Pink eye is horrible just in case you didn't know. There is medication for it but it is VERY contagious. Fortunately the pink eye is gone, we are doing a few days of extra eye drops just to make sure.
13. Friday we fly home.
What a vacation. Thank you mom & dad for a wonderful stay and taking such good care of me and my family!
We love you!

Sounds like you guys had fun. We miss you all like crazy, can't wait to see you! We love the pictures. Seth has changed so much over the last month. Good luck coming home.
The pictures are so fun! It looks like you had such a fun time with family. I'm sorry to hear about the pink eye - what a stinker!
Sounds like it was a fun holiday season (except for the sick part). Glad you had help with that!
I am glad you guys had such a fun time. Pink eye is absolutely miserable! I bet it was nice to have your mom help out.
Oh, Michelle! Pink eye is the most wicked sickness there is! I really just cringe just thinking of what a nightmare that is. Hope you are all well now. Sounds like you had a wonderful time!
I'm glad you guys had a good Christmas in CA. I'm sorry to hear that everyone got sick after the New Year. Pink eye doesn't sound to fun. I'm glad that everyone is doing better. See ya soon.
