Christmas in Camarillo



For the first time in so long, we shared Christmas together. Words can't describe how unbelievably wonderful it was to be able to celebrate as a couple, but to also spend precious time with Martha, Roger, Pam, Tad, Erik, Kevin and Arin at home in Camarillo. We still can't believe how perfect it all was.

We drove up after we both worked Christmas Eve morning. We arrived with the rain and into the Cox's warm, cozy home which was beautifully decorated for the Holiday. We then headed to the family church where Pam led her Youth group in the children's Christmas program. The church looked so pretty by candlelight and the kids performed wonderfully. Great job Pam! We then went home and enjoyed a yummy baked potato bar and chili for dinner.

Everyone gathered at home late Christmas morning and we were served a delicious pot roast and chicken & dumplings for dinner. It was a lively, joyous meal with lots of conversation and laughter. Afterwards it was into the living room to exchange gifts. We were overwhelmed by the great and thoughtful gifts we received! We then went back to the dining room and devoured the incredible deserts made by Martha.

We headed home that afternoon....it was a short visit, but it was seriously the most wonderful Christmas ever.
