During our first or second Christmas in California, we spent an afternoon exploring San Clemente and brought home a dried starfish that has adorned the top of our tree every year after.
Yes, it's California, but we live in the desert. It gets cold at night.
So many presents! Now that we're all older, my sisters and I are able to give each other things that we really like. Angelica got me an exercise shirt and earrings, Rachel yarn and hair clips, and Shannon the bracelet and earrings above. Very thoughtful. My gifts to them were mostly handmade: to Angelica, an old nondescript book hollowed out to make a secret compartment and the hat she's wearing; to Rachel, a scarf and a Point Loma shirt; to Shannon, a hat and scarf set.
Grandma made lamb for dinner, and after some more potica (see previous entry) we drove out to Oceanside.
The jetty was covered in sea life. We scrambled over the rocks, shooting pictures.
And so we ended the day where we began it--with starfish.
