Haro-Barlow Christmas 2010

Our Christmas vacation started at Jim and Joan's in Simi Valley. After work, Steve and I drove up early to deliver presents. We went on a Christmas Eve Eve double date, dinner at TGIF and a movie, True Grit. Dinner and the movie were both great. The trip was short but sweet.

Christmas Eve morning we woke up very early and headed to Gilroy to spend the weekend with my parents.

I know I am getting close to home when the hills turn green.

Almost there.

Christmas Eve night my parents hosted a holiday party with our close family and friends. It was great to catch up with everyone.

Food, food, food. This isn't even half.

My grandma's nativity Christmas snow globe. I have inherited it and I love it.

Christmas morning we all opened our gifts and lounged in our pjs all day. It was great!

My dad's favorite Christmas movie is It's A Wonderful Life and when he found out Steve had never seen it, he bought the special edition for us to watch this year. We were all in tears. A fabulous feel good movie that leaves your heart full.

Christmas Day my mom prepared a tasty turkey and ham dinner. It was delicious! We had so much food. The day after Christmas we all woke up early and headed to Oakland for the Raiders game. Even though they lost, it was fun to be with the entire family. Monday morning we said our goodbyes and headed back to So Cal. Next year I am taking more time off work. Christmas this year flew by and I am trying to convince Steve to keep our tree up for a few more weeks.Downtown San Jose for breakfast.

Gents.

My dad has season tickets and great seats.This year Santa was very good to the Barlows. Santa brought Steve this driver. He's in love.
And I was really good this year too. Santa brought me this! He knows I've wanted one for years. This means you will get to see even more pictures of Steve.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
