Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! On Thursday we went to my Dad and Danielle's. Uncle Randy played race cars and puzzles (flown in from France from Mimi - Danielle's sister).

Danielle always sets a beautiful table and serves us a delicious meal!

Traditionally Mimi makes all the deserts! Each year they set a gorgeous dessert buffet. I brought Danielle flowers from my garden and they happen to match the desserts! Mimi always decorates the desserts with real flowers from Danielle's garden.




On Friday we drove down to the Woods - unfortunately I have no pictures :(. Sandy made a delicious meal and we watched a movie and played games!


On Saturday the Brachs drove all the way up from Morgan Hill (2 hours away - where Ryan's family lives) just to see us and spend time! We sooooo appreciated it because we got to meet 4 month old Anya for the first time! She is precious! We have not seen the Brachs in almost a year -it was a big deal to spend time with each other - even if it was short. We were so grateful they drove all that way!


This year - NO big drive up to the mountains to Forrest Hill to cut down trees at Snowy Peaks Christmas Farm with the Holmes!!! No sir-ee. This miniature Santa would have had a heck of a time huffing and puffing up those trails! Nope - this year we hit MIKEY'S of Natomas park on the street corner! Looking forward to carrying on the tradition with the Holmes next year though!



Is that Santa???? Oh no it's me!!!

Agree with Anderson, the shot of you at the tree lot is a keeper. Also, the syrup post was laugh out loud funny.

Miss you and wish you luck in the upcomming birth giving:)
