Christmas in Chico

I love this picture...    a little angel... listening to the story of the Savior's birth.

After leaving Chico we headed down to my parent's house.  They had no idea we were coming!  We timed it with Don so that we were able to sneak into the house right before they returned from dinner.  We could hear my mom and Molly screaming with surprise and excitement in the driveway after they spotted our car.  The next day was Molly's 22nd birthday so we were able to celebrate with her as well.  Here is Sophie Anne exhausted from all our travels... she wasn't able to even last for the birthday dessert.

Looks like you guys had a great time, as always! And, what a fun surprise for your family to have you stop in! I love the pics, of course, esp the one of Sophie getting her baby cousin to smile! Hope you guys are all better at your house.
