We are Thankful for...

FAMILY, and all that comes with it!!!

Thanksgiving weekend we had a full house....

Wednesday: The Johnson's came (Bekie-my sister, Marcus-her husband,and their 4 kids- Emmalee, Jordan, Ethan, Tyler). They also brought Tami (my youngest sister) and their two dogs, Milo and Lucy.
They arrived more then 2 hours ahead of schedule... I scrambled to get last minute errands done and rushed home to find them already in the driveway. Then the real Chaos began... Just kidding, it wasn't that bad. Luckily we had a playroom for the kids. An RV parked in the back for Bek and Marcus. And a spot for all the dogs in the garage- due to the rain. Before we knew it we were able to relax, and catch up. These guys were exhausted though. Apparently they had left at 5am, hence their early arrival.

Thursday: Thanksgiving dinner at the Cacioppo's. They were kind enough to have us all over at their house. What a spread!! SO much delicious food and tons of family around. It was great to mesh our families together and enjoy an excellent holiday! We have SO much to be thankful for.
Thursday night: Larisa and Jack arrive!! With their little chi doggie - named- Max or Flea or FleaMax.

The kids had a blast in their make-shift playroom!

Friday: San Francisco. We were tourists! Fisherman's Wharf. Golden Gate. Lombard St. and saw a bit of China town. Mase was a trooper!! He was a happy guy all the way to the end.

Tami is an awesome photographer and took all of the photos you see (except this one of course). She has done all our families photos since Mike and I were engaged.

It's not easy moving around the city, with a group.

I have so many photos from SF I'll have to make a slide show for the rest.

Saturday: Coloma- Sutter's Mill. Dinner at Pizzeria Classico in old town Folsom.

The weekend went by way too fast. We enjoyed every minute these guys were here. My only regret is that I hadn't taken more pictures to document it all. Mason loved all the attention he got from his Aunties, Uncles and especially his Cousins - they had him completely captivated. Can't wait to see them again.
