California

The day after Christmas we drove down to California for some fun and sunshine. 

James lost his tooth while we were there. 

He didn't seem too upset about it. 

One night we needed to feed the Berg, Elkins, and Millward children all at the same time. Kate, the perfect short-order-cook, took everyone's order and had it all squared away within minutes. You can see her notes for each child on the rims of those plates. 

They all look pretty impressed with her cooking!

Especially this one. 

James, wanting to impress his friends, decided to dig a super deep hole under the swing-set. Grandpa made him fill it in when he found out but, for a little while, James had a pretty sweet thing going. Just look at that face!

Brody and James playing tether-ball. 

Lots of Berg/Millward children. 

Lot's of Berg, Millward, Elkins children. 

These two had missing teeth at the same time. So sweet!

I don't know what Owie was trying to accomplish here but he can do whatever he wants because I'm the aunt and I say so. 

Berg/Elkins cousins and Grandpa who was nice enough to hold Clara. 

Grandma Bev and Rebekah having a wonderful conversation. 

More cookies to frost! We will never tire of the activity I promise you. 

Go, Bekah Go!

Sweet boy. 

David may have mixed his color pallet too much................. Is grey a good color for a cookie? 

Happy son. 

Ta Da!

This is a very serious face. I must have chosen wrong. 

A nap with Grandpa. 

This pink girl drove home with a bunch of swag from the trip. She loved every minute of it.
