So my generous parents rented a beach house on the peninsula in Newport and we all camped out together. We were hoping for sunny beach days and instead we got rainy windy days. But in true Gustavson/Baltzer/Lawrence fashion we found many other ways to entertain ourselves.
1. Jason and I both got Shaun White Snowboarding games for Christmas so we spent a lot of time playing on the Wii. We even taught the little ones how to do tricks off the jibs to get more points. Someday this little guy will shred the gnar (actually probably not... he is a gentle little boy... if you know what i mean)
2. The little kids were obsessed with the cameras and they took tons and tons of pictures. These are a few of their more "artistic" ones. I think Livi really might have a knack for this. (Luke on the other hand was trying to take pictures but kept taking pictures of himself and couldn't understand why it wasn't working... I love that boy)
3. Of course you know we rocked out on the Karaoke machine.
4. We played with our new toys. Jason was the only one brave enough to weather the storm surfed on his new foam board. (Check out the view from the house...)
5. We spent a lot of time tending babies and just laying around. :) These two little guys are only about two weeks apart.
6. We did traditional Christmas stuff like getting a christmas tree (who knew Home Depot shopping karts were that much fun) decorating cookies, walking around Balboa to check out the lights, and reenacted the Nativity scene.
8. Lastly, I taught my family the art of the tim-tam-slam. SOO funny to watch.

Your fam is so cute! And what a view from the beach house. Too bad the sun stayed hidden all Christmas break. Oh, and April, the tim-tam-slam? Erin Elton taught me that and I was in LOVE! YUM!
