We had a great Christmas this year and a very busy December. Disclaimer: This is a very long post but has lots of pics and two videos if you would prefer to look at those instead of read everything... be my guest :)
The Call's had Christmas on December 5th this year to accommodate for everyone's finals schedules and the wedding. Poor Ben and Kristen did so much driving back and forth from Idaho between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some of the highlights from the Call Christmas were eating at Tepanyaki's, our traditional aebleskiver breakfast, Trey's little tent and blocks, my beautiful sewing machine (from Lynda and my mom) and Kyle's really warm under armor shirt (he wears every day :)) and his new clippers.
On the 12th of December one of my best friends from high school, Stacy Nelson came up to Utah and we spent the day with her and her kids. We took our little one's sledding. It was a blast. Leah is so cute!! It was Trey's first time sledding and he absolutely loved it. Some boys at the park had built this little jump and I couldn't control the sled and Trey and I accidently went off it. He was laughing hysterically when we landed. We got it on video :) We also built a snowman at the park.
When Kyle got sick we spent the 15th -18th at my parents house so Trey and I didn't go crazy inside our little apartment all day. Grandma Jan ran pulling Trey all over the front lawn in his sled. She was such a trooper! He had sooo much fun.
Kallie got married on December 19th. It was a beautiful wedding and she was a beautiful bride. The Sealing was so special. Draper temple was great but very windy. Poor Kallie in her short sleeve dress! The photographer told us to get reeeally close :) You can see Bradley is like resting his head on Danny's shoulder.
Two days after the wedding we left for California. We drove to St. George and slept there and then drove the final six hours the next morning. Trey was so glad to be out of the car. We just took it easy when we got there the first few days cuz we were all sick. Lucy gave Trey this super cute black pea coat. They wore them to go see Santa. On the 23rd we went to see Santa at the mall with Lucy, Sarah, Troy and the G-parents. It was the babies first time sitting on Santa's lap. We love the kids expressions. :)
Trey got into Mommy's mascara one day. Clearly, he has been watching me do my makeup. He knew where it went :)
Christmas morning we opened presents with Kyle's family and got some wonderful gifts. Trey got an awesome red Tricycle and a lawn mower that blows bubbles. I got this really cute sewing kit. Kyle got some new Rainbow's and some Ugg boots and we got the game Sequence and In a pickle. We also got some rad new Oakley glasses from Bryce.
New Year's Eve Kyle and I went over to the Andre's for a little while and played Scattegories. Then we went home and watched the ball drop. Unfortunately, we spread our germs to Steve and Lynda so they were sick. :(
Last but not least, on New Year's our little family went to the San Juan Capistrano Petting Zoo. Trey got to ride his very first horse, pick up and feed bunnies and guinea pigs, pet and feed goats, llama's, emu's, pigs, cows and see a giant turtle. He had a blast!!!

What a fun Christmas vacation! How are all of you feeling?
Fun month!! Sorry there was so much sickness in there, but you guys all look like you are doing great! Trey looks so BIG!!
Oh my gosh, he's like riding all by himself, no one is holding him! And he doesn't even have a helmet on!! Wow, that would scare me.. =) I can tell Trey is probably going to have a lot more fun than Clara growing up... =)
He is very cute, your Trey. And he looks kind of big too. I's day he is about the same size as Clara. Wich of course is only right - he is boy. =)
By the way, when you got the Christmas card, there wasn't any chocolate to come with it, huh? Yeah, we realized it probably wouldn't get to you.. But it was worth a try. =)
God fortsättning på det nya året!
Love /Stina
