Christmas in California - 5

This really was a special Christmas--
In 1997 my parents sold their home that we grew up in!
in April 2010 they bought the home back!!
I was so fun to be back in the home where I have all of my memories.
And now my children will also make memories here.
Before when we would come home for Christmas some of us would have to be
farmed out to different ward members because my parents home was too small.
Now there is room for all of us--all 22 of us!!
There is even a big playroom where all the kids can go!!!
Being with family and making memories is what it's all about!!
Here are the youngest boy cousins!
Thank goodness for Nemo! It kept them busy!!!
The older kids playing in Grandpa's bushes!!!

That evening we went Christmas Caroling!
The grandkids had fun singing!!!
We went to several homes
Here we are singing to Sister Jones.
She just loved it!!!
After Caroling--we walked down a street in Hollister
that all the neighbors decorate for Christmas!!

It was fun to see all the lights and here the Christmas music to put you
in the Christmas mood!!!

That last house looks a lot like it belongs right around the corner from my parents house. If it is the neighborhood I am thinking they call try to out do each other every year.
