Thanksgiving 2008

Once again we spent our Thanksgiving holiday in Glamis surrounded by family, friends and sand as the far as the eye can see. I really love the time we spend here, our longest to date 10 days, and I know the kids enjoy the freedom to run themselves ragged :) This year it was so much fun to watch the "babies" Gavin and Bryn run, play and interact with everyone. In fact all the kids were so busy playing with each other that we didn't take the jumper out once! Brook rode her quad very well and even followed Kyra out of the camp a few times. Sadly her bike gave out on her and despite all of Daddy's attempts to fix it she was without her "ride" the last few days. :( Hmm...Santa may have to make a quick stop at Honda. We did the usual, hang out, go for rides, eat :P, this year we even went on a tour of the "untouched" sand. Turkey dinner was excellent as always. We had so much food we ended up with a whole leftover turkey, even with a couple of extra guests we had invited after the guys "rescued" them earlier that day because their truck and trailer were stuck. As usual it was a great trip and although I hate the piles of laundry that have to be done when we get home I am looking forward to our next big trip in August to Pismo Beach. 12 days of relaxing on the beach yay!!!!! Well maybe I should just focus on our next event...Christmas!!! I hope you all had an equally wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Almost forgot...

Oops, I almost forgot to share Bryn's 1 year pictures. I know I'm a little late but we don't have Kiddie Kandids in town so I had to make a trip down to Vegas for these. Oh and they were actually taken on the 18th of October so only a month late :P Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

So another year has gone by, I think when Jon and I celebrate either one of our birthdays we are even more determined to see age as only a number. :P Besides, the girls our much too young for us to feel old! Well Jon doesn't like a bunch hoopla for his birthday but we were still able to manage a small gathering without too much fuss. Brook worked hard on her Daddy's birthday card, you could tell she put lots of thought into and even included some stickers of his favorite things and Daddy was very happy with it. In fact Brook was the most excited for his birthday and even went around collecting various toys to wrap up and give him and of course had to decorate the cake herself, too cute. Bryn is still too young to join in but did clap for Daddy when he was opening his presents. :) All in all it was a nice evening, Jon got to go shooting with Matt and Justin before dinner, had his favorite meal chicken broccoli fettucine and chocolate cake and spent the evening with family and friends.
