Our First Christmas in California

This year for Christmas was spent with the Stromberg side. Dan's parents drove in from Utah to spend with Dan and his brother Jeff's family.
A tradition for their family is to have a Christmas Eve dinner together with their traditional staples, Shrimp Salad, Honey Baked Ham and yummy Chocolate Almond Balls and afterwards a little game of Philadelphia Rummy.
Sam helping me make the Chocolate Almond Balls. He LOVES to cook, always trying to help me even with his sandwiches. Little does he know a kitchen just his size is on its way!
The family all came to our house to celebrate.
Cousins: Kate, John and Caroline!
Brothers: Jeff and Dan

Jen and Jeff

Sam and Mommy (side note: roughly a month before this picture was taken, Sam came bouncing up our stairs and fell in just the right place and broke his collar bone. So in the middle of moving in we were in the E.R. with Sam. Hence the child leash around his shoulders.)

Grandpa and Grandma Stromberg

Sam's Christmas loot!
