We got to Redding Saturday the 22nd in the late afternoon. Mom/Grandma made us a yummy roast that night. Sunday we went to church and had a yummy ham that night for dinner. After dinner we drove to town and walked around a display of lights. Staucie loved the lights. There was music playing and it was a nice night to walk around.
Santa came to visit us on Christmas Eve while we were playing games. It was very nice of him to visit during his busy night. On Christmas Eve Day we went to the movies and saw National Treasure (Grandma stayed home with the kids and played). After dinner we read Luke 2 from the Bible and watched The Nativity. We played games and got new pajamas. After the kids went to bed we watched a movie.
Christmas morning we made everyone wake up early so Staucie and Parker could open presents with us. Parker did go to sleep before we were done, we had a lot of presents to open (there were 11 of us). Thanks to Mom and Dad we had a great Christmas morning. We had turkey that night for dinner, yummy!
While we were in Redding we watched lots of movies, did some shopping, played games, ate LOTS of yummy food, did a puzzle, and hung out. 
Parker tried Rice cereal for the first time (he will be 6 months on the 6th of January). He was really mad at first. He gets really mad when you try to put foreign objects in his mouth, like a bottle or a medicine dropper. He kept spitting as soon as the spoon would touch his mouth and grunting. Then he started yelling. We tried again after Staucie started eating his cereal and he LOVED it! We are still practicing once in awhile. It still falls back out a lot, but he is getting better. He does like it though. I knew he would once he tried it, he's a boy so of course he likes to eat!
