Christmas 2009

`
Madison's First Christmas! We took a long drive to Woodland, Roseville and Vallejo California for Christmas with both our families. Madison slept most of the time, she was 3 months old at Christmas and such as fun, happy baby on this trip! We were blessed to be able to spend a full week with the family rather than just 4 days like we normally do. She enjoyed all the excitement from Grandparents and cousins...boy was she tired :)

Christmas Eve was fun with Grandma and Mom and the other Aunts and cousins at Aunt Lydia's house. We had crab legs and amazing Spagetti...delicious!
Madison is so cute in this picture, just soaking it all in :)

We had a chance to visit Napa when we were home for Christmas. The weather was perfect and the Winery's were so pretty and charming. We enjoyed lunch at the Rutherford Grill. I highly recommend going for lunch. It was delicious, I had a tri-tip sandwhich that was so yummy. Madison did very well on the trip to Napa and napped quite a bit in the car. Because of the holiday and the fact that it was Christmas Eve a lot of the winery's were closed but we did find a few and picked up a bottle of nice olive oil for Sean's boss at the winery you see in the photo!


Here we are with the Hutchison's and my parents sitting down for our traditional Christmas Dinner! My Grandmother also lives in Woodland so its nice when we go home we get to see her as well. This was Madison's first Christmas and she slept through most of the festivities! Next year she will be running around the house eating ornaments and wrapping paper on the gifts! 

Marissa, Taylor and Madison have photo's together. This is the first photo shoot they have had together and it was so adorable!!



Here is the photo we used for our 2009 Christmas card. We drove to a pretty Ranch in Orange County, the same ranch that hosts the yearly Pumpkin Patch and broke out the tri-pod for a few pictures!
Here is our Christmas Tree from 2009 in our apartment in San Clemente. We love our fireplace and use it every chance we had. It was so nice to relax in the evening and admire our beautiful ornaments and lights and the smell was amazing...pine!!
