I got the Christmas lights up. I had off Friday, so I got a lot done on the boys play set Santa is bringing them on Christmas. I have it in pieces hiding under a tarp on the side of the house. We are going to have to get better at hiding stuff as they get older.

 We went to the Poway park for a Christmas festival Saturday and rode the old train, petted animals, ate Christmas cookies and listened to carolers sing. Today we rode motorcycles and went to a new park we haven't been to yet.

 Kristin heads out of town tomorrow for business but she'll be back late Tuesday. Jake saw her suitcase and asked where she was going. She explained that she had to go away for a couple days for work. Jake said she can't go because it would break his heart.   : (
