HO-HO-Holiday! Christmas in Pacifica

On Christmas morning we all got up ready to see what Santa had brought us and open presents. We had a nice low-key day and Grandma and Papa R. came over for the day and Christmas dinner. Papa was recovering from his recent knee surgery so he had to stay put much of the day, but we felt lucky we got spend the day with him.

Dylan got his first guitar from Santa. Now he and mom can play together!

DISNEYLAND!

We took Dylan on his first trip to Disneyland Dec. 3-7, 2007. We went with Grandma and Papa R. and we stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel. We had an amazing time. It really was the vacation of a lifetime.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving in Manteca this year. On our way to Grandma and Grandpa B's house we stopped off for a visit and photo shoot with Dylan's cousin's. We were hoping to get some good shots to use for Christmas gifts. After the top secret photo shoot we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's and had a really excellent day filled with family. We spent the night and the next day Lynda celebrated her birthday by getting up at 5AM for Black Friday and going to Best Buy! Before we headed home we had a nice walk through Grandma and Grandpa's almond orchard.
