Before we got to their house, we decided to take a detour and take the kids to see Rick's office. We thought we had timed things perfectly, but just before we arrived, Rick's captain showed up and told everyone to go home and enjoy the holiday. Rick decided to stay behind since the kids really wanted to see his office. When we got there, Rick showed us the display cases with the old police cars and equipment. Then he took us back to his "authorized personel only" office where the internal affairs investigators work. I think the kids liked seeing Rick's work, but it wasn't nearly as interesting as going to see him in his patrol car with all the cool equipment.
After the office tour, we all left together and headed south to RSM for the rest of the evening. We had a great ham dinner, opened Christmas pjs (thanks once again for your work of love, Mom!), ate dessert and headed home. It sure was nice when we only lived half a mile away and could just walk to each other's house, but at least we live within an hour's drive of family and are able to spend some holidays together.
Our family, Dee, and the OC Chases
Poor Bryant thought he was being tortured by having to sit with the little kids
The kids were so excited to get their pjs!
Erin got a beloved Twilight calendar
Parker and Shannon are such good play mates - they even play with their webkins on the computer when they aren't together.
All the kids goofing around in their cozy pajamas
