Well, we have been busy! We had my parents , my brother and his girlfriend out for Christmas. My parents stayed for the week. They enjoyed the winter warm-up, and we enjoyed the company.
Ethan really got into opening gifts this year...
One of his favorites was a drum set from Uncle Jeff. (We're pretty sure it won't be our downstairs neighbor's favorite, however!)
On Christmas Day, we all had a big dinner with Jason's parents and grandparents.
After the holiday, we enjoyed some sightseeing, and a bit of hiking, and we also went up to Jason's parents house in Sonoma.
And then we celebrated New year's eve with a big turkey dinner. None of us made it up till midnight though! I guess we are getting old. But overall, a very nice visit.
Tow things that caught my eye-
ReplyDelete1. Jeff's girlfriend came!
2. Jeff is doing a great job being that 'favorite uncle' by giving that drum set. Impressive. If he wants more tips he should call his cousin John who holds that role in our family. Noisy and messy toys are his specialty but when he finally gets married and has kids of his own he'd better hope we really like his wife or he'll be in for some noise and mess in return. He he!
That's two things...oops. And great family pics by the way!
ReplyDeleteSo nice!!! I love the drumset -- Cruz can't wait to go beat on that thing, especially if it will spite your neighbor!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment love...no prospects (that we know of) for John. He kinda keeps those things secret. And YES I think it is time for a family get together it has been since your dad's birthday.
