Christmas Fun!

We had a fantastic Christmas break in sunny San Diego -- shopping, delicious food, racquetball tournaments, family games, a trip to the zoo, going to the beach -- it was great! Here are a few pics from the trip. (This first one is of Ashley and Bethany picking guavas off the tree. Bethany loved eating them!)

One of our family traditions is to put on a workshop for the other family members.

This year the workshops were:

1. Flexibility and Stretching (taught by Christy...who grew half an inch because of her BYU Flexibility class). Ashley could do all the stretches without a flinch...which is more than I can say for most of the other family members.

2. Teaching Complex Ideas with Three Simple Steps (taught by Evan, with the assistance of the computer game Portal)

3. Cake Decorating (Team teachers Heidi and Jared used Katie's method of cake decorating to help everyone feel like a pro)

4. Recording a Book on Tape (Mom and Dad ran the show on this one. We recorded our own family version of Sandra Boynton's Moo, Baa, Lalala...with Ashley narrating and the rest of us doing the animal noises. Sound clip to follow...in a later post)It was a great trip and we miss the warm weather and fun family.
