Ketchup

Sheez, I'm WAY behind so I'm just going to squeeze in a ton of pictures here and explain our crazy life over the past month! :) We went to Georgia for two weeks for Christmas and New Years. Tons of family time, tons of fun. We all loved it. Here are a few of our favorite times:


It was sooo freezing cold in Georgia! We had to bundle up everytime we went outside... hats, scarves, mittens, the works! Crazy because there was no snow and hardly any rain. Just cold!




We had two showings of the nativity. One without the cousins on Christmas Eve, and one with everyone on Christmas Day. The only pictures we took (sorry Joey and Aaron!) were from Christmas Eve.


Carmen, the wise-baby, LOVED dressing up. She kept trying to steal Baby Jesus from Mary during the nativity. Anamarie tried to fight back, but Carmen did NOT want Anamarie to hold the baby and let us all hear about it!


Looks like the shepherd is a bit upset about being upstaged by the wisewoman!


Carmen in her jammies Christmas Eve. Da dat (da da) is her favorite toy!


Christmas night, Papa made a huge semi-controlled bonfire and everyone bundled up and had s'mores in the backyard. We're saving this pic for blackmail for Carmen in the future. :)




The Traina Fam in all its glory.


We were SO grateful to be able to meet up with Nana and Papa (Dave's grandparents) and his aunt and uncle, Ginny and Jerry at a McDonalds in the middle of nowhere. (I'm sure the city has a name, but I can't remember it)


Our multi-generational girls pic... and boys pic below






We met up with Dave's BFF and fam for New Years Eve. SO much fun!


Dave, his dad and Jon LOVED being pyros and lighting fireworks-- both controlled on the ground (as pictured) and off the top of moving vehicles (not pictured, but video-ed... hopefully we can put a clip on. You probably had to be there to really understand how funny it all was, but it'd put a smile on your face for sure!)


No description necessary. Just the cutest baby ever.


When we got back to San Diego, it was time for two more cousin-filled days with the Gardiners and Bedells. So much fun!!


We finished up Hayden's all star soccer tournaments (finally!) Here's a fun picture of a girl that's not too happy about being schooled by Hayden. :)
