One Christmas Day we had Rog, Glenda, Isaac, my mother-in-law, and our friend, Steve Aranda over for a Christmas Brunch. I made all the food, including Mimosas!! Yumm. It was a very relaxing morning that quickly rolled into the afternoon. Ben came over later on and opened a few presents. We drew names and had to get a gift that started with the first letter of that person's name. So Ben got a "Blaster"!

Of course, we have to give it a try...
How about taking it outside!
I gave Ben & Kimberly, private dancing lessons at a dance studio, here in Redlands, called, "Shake It Up!"

I also gave Ben a photo book on the night they went to the Laker game.
Later on that evening, we did Rock Band...notice the concentration...
