Christmas Holiday Season

Well, we made it through the Christmas holiday season in one piece - just a bit tired! We started the holiday last Friday at my Aunt Linda's beautiful new house in Visalia. My cousin Eric, his wife Jill, their kids Austin & Morgan, my other cousin Aaron & his girlfriend Jessica, my dad & his girlfriend LauriJo and my sister all came in for the occasion. And boy did we have a great time! Lots of relaxing, eating good food and being with each other. The last time we were all together was about 6 or 7 years ago. So we were long overdue. We drove home on Christmas Eve, I got a speeding ticket, and then went over to our brother-in-laws (Paul) house for an incredible dinner with his family and friends. Christmas morning we opened gifts at home and then headed over to Kelley's for a fun filled day with Scott's family.

Tuesday the 26th we threw our dear friends Bridgette & Chris an engagement party at Finbar Devine in Petaluma. We had a great time and it is so neat to see them finally join the Ball & Chain club! ;-)
For New Year's we are just staying close to home. We will probably do a nice dinner out or something of the sort. We will also work on the house and start on the nursery.

~Happy New Year~
