Christmas was just the beginning of our crazy week in California with the Zavoral Clan. These pictures highlight the days after Christmas with everyone. Our week included:
- la la land date with Dadz and all the adult girls
- basketball night with Dad and some brothers
- walks to the park
- snuggling and playing with the kids
- doing family names at the Sacramento temple from baptism to sealings
- watching movies and the tablets
- playing games like Just dance, Foozeball, Mexican train and the newlywed game
- the Sacramento zoo with some Davidson folks
- play date with just Tanner and cousin Aaron
- family bowling night
- walk to grandma’s house
- boy basketball outing
- kids bounce house outing
- visiting Grandma Davidson’s grave
- murder mystery dinner
- escape room challenge with the grown-ups
- eating delicious meals that we took turns preparing
- wrestling with uncles and playing trains with uncles
- out for ice cream
- and more! Everything happened so fast, I went home feeling like I didn’t get enough time to play with all the kids. But looking through these pictures, I realized I actually played with them more than I thought. We sure do miss them!

Tanner and Dallin
Just like clockwork, Dallin was a good little napper every day of our trip, including at the zoo.
This is what bowling with 11 adults and 9 small children looks like- organized chaos!
Tanner actually had two panic attacks at the bowling alley. Luckily, the place was so loud and choatic that no one really noticed. Before his diagnosis, it was so frustrating not understanding how to help him. After about 45 minutes trying a few strategies, Tanner was able to enjoy himself. I like it when he gets back to his normal self!
Music singing games and music peekaboo games!
We were a super smart team!
Great Aunt Linda and the kids
Wild turkeys were keeping watch at the cemetery.
Uncle Zach found my phone and took a picture!
The boys loved playing with their only boy cousin.
