Christmas Festivities

We have been busy preparing for the holiday season! My parents are here for a few weeks to celebrate Christmas with us. Here are few pics of the holiday celebrating so far.

We had Justin's command Christmas party last night at the Hotel Del Coronado. It was a beautiful location and everyone was dressed formally.


Putting the ornaments on the tree.


Charley loves all the lights and ornaments.


Justin and Olivia have started a new tradition of making gingerbread cookies from scratch. They are awesome and Olivia loves to help bake!

Fall Fun

We have been busy, busy, busy this fall. I was taking a class at San Diego State and am one class away from finishing my graduate degree. Justin is loving his new command at Naval Special Warfare Center but has added pressure being the only JAG there. Olivia is in full day preschool and takes ballet once a week. And Charley is busy getting older. She turned 9 months old yesterday! Here are a few pics of what we have been up to this fall.


On top of a Mark V special warfare craft. We got to tour it at Justin's command children's Christmas party.

Justin and I went to Mexico to see his friend Paul get married. A nice few days away for us alone!


Olivia performed in her first dance at the local mall the day after Thanksgiving. She did wonderful!

Hanging out at Balboa Park.


We got to tour a helicopter that one of our friends out here in San Diego flies! So cool!


Olivia, the future helo pilot!
