We headed to sunny CA for Christmas to be with the Jolley side of the family and had tons of fun together. It's always sad to leave, but here's a re-cap, mostly for us to remember the good ol' times. Most of the pics are of us just messin' around, what us Jolley's do best!
Us sisters malled Dallas. Nevermind the face he's making.....he secretly loved it and wants to make this his profile picture on FaceBook. He's 6'9" and didn't stand a chance against us!
We bowled. My dad said he hadn't bowled in 30 years, then got a near strike on the first swing. I think he plays on his lunch breaks. Erin smoked everyone, but I'm happy to say I took 2nd place. (First the worst, second the best, Erin!)
We ate homeade Cafe Rio Salads!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the recipie from girl friends of mine awhile ago and wanted to share with the fam. Here's my cute mom chowing down. I have to say, it was delicious! Tasts just like the real thing!
We celebrated Brooke's 30th Birthday, which is in just a few days! Don't judge the 2 candy cane oversized candles on the store-bought Marie Calendar's pie--it's the thought that counts.
David is so cute. Senior stud-muffin.
We enjoyed our gifts from Santa, who, P.S. was VERY generous this year. (I've been good, but still.) One of those gifts was our new camera. We got the Nikon D3000 and let me tell you, it's a beauty. We're still trying to figure out all its bells and whistles and took lots of random pics to play with the settings. LOVE. IT.
A beautiful Sunday afternoon at the park. My dad is a semi-pro and was our mentor with our blossoming camera skills.
Erin and I. Because high 5's are not as cool just standing on the ground. I told her it's sad that I can jump higher than her and I'm 4 months prego with twins. She's very competitive and did much better the next jump.

My mom was INSISTANT that she buy me a pair of maternity pants. So naturally we made it a family affair. She kept saying, "Oh I'll never forget this. This is such a good memory. I remember when my mom bought my maternity clothes." It was pretty funny. I really didn't want to get them, since I can't fit into them yet, but the check out lady happened to have twins too and said, "Oh girl, let your mama buy them for you, you're going to need them." So we did and in a few more weeks I'm sure I'll be glad I have them.
Sisters are the very best!
