Early Christmas at Big Bear

Even though there was no snow, we had a great time up at Big Bear watching Christmas movies, singing carols, sleeping and eating a lot, playing pool, roping things (some of us), racing Nascar, seeing Narnia, and most of all playing with Baby Jake. Good memories!

Au Revoir, Annie!

This was a sad day. I had to say goodbye to my dear friend Annie from work who is moving to Paris. These are all my work cronies wishing her well!

Mel's Birthday!

This was the season for birthdays! We went up to Oakhurst to visit Mel for her birthday and hiked around in Yosemite. It was amazingly beautiful! And the waterfall above is basically in Mel's backyard. We hiked by a creek that runs by her house to get to it. Oh how I miss the mountains and the woods!

Maria's Birthday and Las Brisas

After my birthday, we had Maria's! It was so much fun...we went to the Storyteller's Cafe at Downtown Disney. Then we all went to Las Brisas the next morning! Poor Baby Jake only got to eat formula while we enjoyed the buffet, but I think he still had a good time. Grandma loved it too!
