Thank you, GMa Deb, for the gingerbread kit!

We love the gingerbread kit we've gotten from Grandma Deb and Grandpa Rod the past few years.  As usual, Jason put us all the shame with his work of art, but we still had a great time being together, laughing and eating!

Jason's turned out pretty!

Rhiannon's is on the left, then Jason's, then Wade's in the back, and Verity's house has the candy canes.  

Good times!

The Christmas Train

The first weekend in December, some friends gave us tickets to go ride the "Christmas Train."  It's an annual Ridgecrest tradition and SOOO fun.  I wish I'd taken better pictures, but just imagine sitting on a little train and riding through so many cute Christmas decorations, lights, and themes.  It was also really fun to run into our old friends the Morrows, who took really good care of us when we first moved to Ridgecrest.  We were semi-newlyweds, far away from extended family, and they reached out to us and other new China Lake employees.  It was great to see them!

Thank you to the Grant family for the tickets, too!
