Family Christmas in Sonoma and San Francisco

JASPER SAYS: I had a very fun time at Christmas because all my family was there. I got a bunch of good presents from them. We went surfing with everybody because Noah got a new wetsuit and had a really fun time because he was much warmer. Everybody got good presents and we had a fun time playing with them. I had a very, very good Christmas.

SILAS SAYS: Here is a secret: look at Mia above. I had a really fun Christmas because I got a lot of stuff I like. One of the things I got was a sketch book and I like the sketchbook because I love drawing. Since I like Nutella a lot, my dad got me a shirt that says Nutella. You should see it because it is hilarious. Just like Jasper said, Noah got a fun wetsuit, if you look at some of the other blogs we made you will see a little kid looking 2 or 3 years old showing his muscles and making a really funny face with his two front teeth sticking out.

RC Christmas

Thanks Jim and Judy for the RC cars. The rock on the beach.

SILAS Says: Dada is right, they are really rockin on the beach. We drove them off the Boogie Board and over a lot of different people, like me, Hayden, Mia, Renee, and Elijah (see below).

Christmas Beach Time

No one noticed how cold it was at Ocean Beach. Great time for all five of the kids.

Tin Tin Adventures

I read Tin Tin as a you boy and still have the original first english editions I read as a kid. Now Jasper and Noah are diving in and can't get enoough Tin Tins. We consolidated books from the Crockers in Del Mar and now have the complete collection. We also have two that are not from the main set, Tin Tin in the Congo and Lake of the Sharks. The toy in the picture is a Tin Tin car I bought in France in 1992.

Ocean Beach Going Off

Picture taken from the deck this week. I was home sick watching these bombs come through. I healed up enough to catch the tail end of this brilliat swell.
