Christmas in San Diego

I had a first this Christmas...it was my first Christmas not in Oregon! I have to admit, it was a bit wierd to not be with my family. Not to mention missing the "Christmas-like" cold weather and woodstove fires I have known my whole life! However, Matt and I had a fantastic Christmas with my NEW family (his fam). We went to mom and step-dads for Christmas Eve and dad and stepmoms on Christmas day. We are thankful for both families!! We ate way too much good food and homemade baked goodies! We enjoyed a fabulous Christmas service at our church, Horizon Park Chapel. We got up Christmas morning and did stockings with the pups. Matt and I filled eachother's stockings...but opened them on the 24th because we were too excited to wait for santa :) Soooo...the puppies got their stocking stuffers and were very excited. We are still on vacation until January 7th and loving every minute of it!!! We got an imac computer for Christmas from Matthew's mom and Robert (AMAZING unexpected gift), and we have been setting it up, playing around with it, importing music and photos, and it is such a beautiful work of technology!!! We are Mac snobs...once you go MAC, you never go back. Oh yeah, we found a super cool antique desk for the computer at a funky furniture shop down the street...it was quite an overwhelming place with A LOT of crap and some neat treasures in the mix...like our new desk :) Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and brings in the new year with style. We are heading to Julian for some trailor camping, relaxing, and cold weather!!
