CHRISTMAS TIME

We had a wonderful surprise when we found out that Becky had returned early from Iraq, and even better, she was pregnant, and due on July 19th. We converged on Shirlee & Dusty's home for the big event and had a family trip to Disneyland planned for a few days after Christmas. Unfortunately, poor Shirlee was ill with her recent In-vitro procedure and our trip was without she and Dusty.

The weather in Los Angeles was unseasonably cold, but we still had a wonderful time with Sam & Owen's first experience in the "Happiest Place on Earth". We look forward to going again, and making sure Dusty and Shirlee are with us too.


Everyone needs "Mickey" ears. Owen & Sam look so great!









No one can visit Disneyland without riding "Dumbo"
Santa and his reindeer (real ones) were visiting Disneyland. He was decked out in his plaid clothing.
Owen is getting the hang of the "tea cups" in Fantasyland











Here we are with the huge watermelon in "Bug's Life" at California Adventure
Autopia, always a favorite for everyone!
