We had a really great Christmas this year. Even though Connor had no idea what was going on, Christmas was so much more special just because he's with us. We only had an hour and a half drive this year as opposed to the usual 14 or 16 hour drive from Idaho to one of our parent's houses. We spent Christmas with my side of the family in San Diego doing very California things. On Christmas Eve we went on a hike overlooking the beach, played basketball outside at my parent's house, and the day after Christmas we walked the boardwalk at Coronado (we were going to rent bikes at the boardwalk, but they were all out). Besides that we did all the usual McBeth family traditions: extended family dinner on the 23rd, celebrated mom's birthday on Christmas Eve eve, opened a present of jammies on Christmas Eve, watched movies, played games, ate cinnamon rolls Christmas morning, etc etc. All-in-all it was a great Christmas weekend. The only thing missing was Ryan, Rachel and the boys. Ryan is doing his medical Residency in NY and sadly couldn't get away for the holidays. We missed you all tremendously and I know I at least thought about you during every activity, wishing you were there!!
Torrey Pines hike
Christmas morning: Ty wouldn't wake up, so we put Connor in the crib with him. When he finally noticed and woke up he tried to snuggle up to Connor and almost squished him. So cute.
My parents..I mean Santa gave him a Jumperoo and he has spent hours in it since. He absolutely loves it and we've loved watching him.
Opening presents is apparently exhausting
Tanner and all his nephews had matching Christmas church outfits. Too bad we couldn't get all the boys in one picture, but we'll put this picture side-by-side with Liam and Gavin's and pretend
Got to see some of my bff's from high school at church. We all have boys now!

Your hair in that first picture is awesome! I know what you mean about loving to watch them jump, we have so many videos of our boys in theirs, it is just so cute to see their little legs working and to see the huge grins on their faces. Glad you guys had a fun Christmas! And thanks for missing us.
P.S. Isn't the Torrey Pines hike beautiful?
Tonya - your hair is beautiful in that first picture, how did you do that? You're such a cute Mom!
It is so fun to see the next generation of moms! All boys for your firsts! What is going on with that? I agree with Rachel and Tiffanie, I love your hair like that, and yes Rachel you were all missed very much.
