#12-21 Christmas in Lancaster, CA

We parked our RV at the Elks Lodge in Indio and just drove over to Lancaster to spend a couple of days with the kids.  Adele is getting so big!  Rachel is still in the Sawgrass house.  Her kitchen is not done yet!

For a Christmas present for Ray and family we took them to a live performance of “A Christmas Carol” at the Indio Performing Arts Center.  The stage is “in the round” and we were in the front rows.  Aubrey was able to talk to a couple of the actors and seemed to enjoy the performance.  AJ got sick and they had to leave at intermission.

Christmas Eve we spent with Ray, Nicole and kids.  Big sister, Micaela came over too.  The kids love her!

Sunset in the desert through the palms, and a full moon seen through the citrus trees.  We wore shorts all during the month of Dec.  Beautiful!


Our friend, Phyllis gave us two tickets to a benefit performance at the McCallum Theater by Barry Manilow.  Awesome.
