This Christmas was quieter and more mellow but still very enjoyable. We started Christmas Eve morning off with brunch on the patio at Ramos House Cafe. It was so lovely, with the brisk air, the provided blankets, the train going by. And don't get me started on the hot chocolate with homemade, grilled marshmallows that hinted at smores. We had to catch Michael and Candice early before we headed off to Stacy and Richard's and they headed off the the DeCasas family gathering. Nicole and Dan were enjoying their week with the Davis family. They still slept at our house so we got to see them a few times coming and going.
After brunch, we walked over to the petting zoo so i could show Michael and Candice the horses that Jordyn has fallen in love with. She's a natural!!
We enjoyed some evenings with all of us together before the holiday week began. The girls were so cute in their matching pajamas. Tyson will have to wait until next year for his Christmas pj's.

Christmas eve was spent with Stacy and Richard and kids, Grandpa Bob, and Pamela. We had a great international feast complete with flags Richard and the kids made of countries all around the world. Yes, Robby, they made a Philippine flag!!
Christmas day the big thrill was our four hour phone call with Robby. He sounded so wonderful. It was the thrill of the season. The other thrill was that Nicole and Dan got rained out at Disneyland so they came home early and we were all together for a couple of hours. Ahhhhhhh, next year when the Robb dog returns and we can have a full fledged Stowell Christmas!!!!
