Since we flaked on going down to San Diego to see family at Thanksgiving...we made up for it between Christmas and New Years. We had a fantastic trip, loaded full of visit time with my brother's kids and family. My brother has two of the most adorable kids around, Devan and Erin. They are also 2 years apart from each other, and two years younger than our kids. So, when they all hung out together it was a bit like a tornado hitting town. Toys went flying, people started screaming, and it was exciting. =) One 5 year old, two 3 year olds, and a one year old. Whew! It was also a trial run to see how our family summer vacation is going to be...but on a houseboat for a week (are we nuts?!) in July. First off, the obligatory try-to-get-all-the-grandkids-together photo...so impossible that it requires candy. Anna loves to climb the big huge boulders at my brother's house. He lives out in Ramona, and they are amazingly fun! Here's what Holly's face looks like the second before she pegs you with a ball in the bounce house.
