It's been 15 years!!

We've been married for 15 years..My hubbie and my boys decided to create a restaurant in our dinning room. The boys loved it and were great waiters...so good in fact that we had to tell them to leave us alone...giggle..It was so much fun that I told them I expect this every year now.
first course was shrimp coctail, second was bread and salad then came shrimp alfedo and lava cake. Really good!!
Our overly attentive waiters.

Christmas break 2009

This last couple days of Christmas break we spent with my Sister's family in Phoenix. My 8 year old niece was baptized on the 2nd. It was a fast trip but we really enjoyed being with family.

This year we had to put our dog Elmo down. It was a hard thing to do, so for this years Christmas ornament Rob and I found dogs ornaments that looked like Elmo. We thought this was a great way to remember Elmo until Brady justs starts sobbing and wouldn't stop. So of course I start crying because Brady is so sad and it was a long night. Apparently it's still a little too fresh to talk about.
the first week of Christmas Vacay Robert had off. We headed north to visit his G-parents in Antioch, Ca and stopped by the Jelly Belly factory on the way home. Great deal. The 45 min. tour is free and comes with a hat and bag of Jelly Bellys. It was like being on the TV show 'Unwapped'. Lots of fun.
Not much better then pre-made gingerbread. Got to love it.
