WE LOVE Seal Beach

We just returned from a great visit with family and friends to Seal Beach. This was the first time we were back since grandma E's funeral. Her house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the kids just loved seeing all the decorations. I was reminded about how much kids can bring JOY during difficult times. They just loved to see all the decorations and help go through old ones to separate them between families. It was hard to be too sad over her stuff when I watched our kids just treasure all the special things she has. We visited with friends (didn't take too many picture :() and spent a lot of time enjoying the beautiful weather. It rained one day, but every other day was beautiful. Grandpa and grandma met us down there and we enjoyed being together with them. They spoiled us with meals and treats for the kids while we were there. We were able to help with a bit of the "cleaning out" process. We enjoyed going through some of grams old stuff and hearing stories about certain things. It was a great way to end our year together as a family in a place we LOVE!!
