Christmas in Stockton

For the first time Dillon and I finally made it out to spend a Holiday with his family, we spent Christmas in Stockton. It was different being away from Utah where you wake up Christmas morning to snow and nice cold weather. Instead, every morning we woke up to a nice mid-sixty degree weather (felt like 80 to us). Dillon's nieces are growing up so fast and it was so fun to be around them during Christmas.  Here are a few photos from our trip :)

Helping Shannon wrap some gifts

It is a tradition in Dillon's Family to make candy trains.  I was able to participate in this family tradition for the first time.  We all were calmly decorating our trains until someone mentioned it was going to be a competition .....then things starting getting crazy lol

Grandpa Franks Party

One of my favorite places to visit is Seattle, there is so much culture and it is just beautiful and lush. Dillon and I had the opportunity to drive up to Seattle with my family to be apart of my Grandma Franks 80th birthday and his book release so while we were there we took Dillon around for his first time to see the place.

One of the things Grandpa Frank is known for is "Scaredy Cat"  I remember when I was little he drew a big Scaredy cat on my tummy.

If you are ever in Seattle this is an art museum you need to see!

 Of course we had to show Dillon the infamous gum wall
