The Zaugg Family

California Trip 12/26

December 26th was a sad day for the Zaugg family. It was Clayton's Uncle Dennis' funeral.

It was nice that everyone was already in town for Christmas and we were all able to be there before going back home. After the funeral we had Zacos (special tacos that Dennis created) to honor him.

Clayton's family does the whole Christmas morning thing so we were up with all of them at 7am to see what Santa brought everyone. It was a lot of fun. Throughout the rest of the day Cardon spent time with cousins. He had a great time and loved watching them play. When he wasn't with cousins he was attached to his Auntie Sara. He even got mad when she wasn't holding him or paying him enough attention.

CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!

On Christmas Eve we went to Gustine early in the day to visit some of the aunts. Aunt Teri spoiled us with ravioli, Clayton is now her new boyfriend :) Cardon chewed on a homemade Italian breadstick and was a little charmer. He was passed from aunt to aunt and loved it. After Gustine we stopped by my grandma's again and then we went to Papa Tony's for a wonderful dinner and presents!!!

PRESENTS!

We were all very spoiled this year.

Especially Clayton! He met Uncle Mitch for the first time and was overjoyed with his present from him. GOLF CLUBS!

Matching jammies every year.

Later that night we drove back up to Paradise. We got there at 2am. Cardon slept the whole time in his new car seat that he got from Grandpa Zaugg.

Cardon loves Papa Tony!

On the 21st we all went out to our favorite Mexican restaurant in Modesto.

El Rosal!!!! Man I love their enchiladas. They always stick us in the back room. I don't know why... it's not like we're loud or anything... :)

On the 22nd we went to The Taylor Family Christmas Party. It is so fun to see cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Every year they read the nativity and sing hymns to go with it. We play games and have a gift exchange. This year was special because my grandmother had everyone go around and say what things had changed their lives in that last year. It was so great to hear what is going on in everyone's lives and what they are grateful for.
