Christmas Trip Begins






We had a very merry Christmas. The trip began with a fairly nice flight to Santa Barbara. The kids did well. The hardest part of the flights was finding allergen free food for Caitlin at the airport. Grandma and Papa Gizmo were at the airport waiting for us to arrive. The condo we rented had a bedroom and a den. It was nothing too fancy, but it met our needs for a cat free environment. We were able to celebrate Erin's birthday. We took a drive to visit Aunt Noella. We had not seen her since the passing of Uncle NoNo. Sue and Terry showed a moving retrospective video of his life. Then we prepared for Christmas. As always, pre-Christmas and Christmas are a lot of fun, but a little hectic. We went to Grandma's house every day. We decorated cookies and put up our small tree for the condo. I almost forgot about the weather. It rained everyday nonstop for a week.
