Christmas at the Parker's

So we had a pretty great Christmas vacation up in Wyoming. Yeah it was wicked cold (I think we've become accustomed to the warm weather here in Cali) but it was really good to spend time with Grandma and Granddad. Christmas day was epic, with Natalie receiving more presents than everyone else combined, ala Grandma and aunt Janetta. We didn't think we'd have any room in our car to take Natalie home (but Grandma was more than willing to take Natalie off our hands...)

Natalie lost her "Sally" car in Wal-Mart a while back. It had been a present from Tanner before we left to CA and she loved to play with it. Whenever we watched "Cars" she had to have it by her side. She was devasted when she lost it at the store and after she learned her lesson about taking toys to stores, we told her maybe, if she was good, Santa would bring a new Sally car. Well she was and he did and all were happy.
