Leading Up To Christmas

I have lots to catch up on here on the blog.  We have had an eventful holiday season.  It was nice to not travel too far and to do some fun things around our house.  Here are some of the things we did leading up to Christmas.

Jason found this cool gingerbread man kit.  It was fun to decorate it with Ollie.

The finished product.  Ollie actually did a really good job.  He put on the eyes, button, etc.  

Our neighbors have a HUGE beautiful tree that has  just been dumping leaves.    The kids have had so much fun.

It is a miracle, he actually looked at the camera!

December 11th we went and saw the Nutcracker put on by the San Jose Ballet Company.  Before the show we tried this Spanish restaurant we've been meaning to try in downtown San Jose.  It was pretty good.  Jason served his mission in Spain so we are excited to know of a real Spanish restaurant in the area.

With Paul and Amy, enjoying our tapas.

After the show.  It was really good.  I love the music and was so impressed with the dancers.
 

For my work party we played bocce ball again.  It is really fun.  I don't have any action shots but here are Jason and I that night.
