Happy Birthday Damon!

Damon's Birthday

Happy Birthday Damon.

What a fun day...We went to see a movie- Damon's choice- "Walk Hard". We thought that it was very entertaining; but we like goofy stuff.


Afterward, we went to Chili's ....Damon's choice- we go every year. Damon LOVES the cheese sticks.

When we arrived back home.......it was time for the Birthday ice cream pie!

Great Day!

Christmas

It's that time of year again; time for the annual pilgrimage to Modesto. We enjoy our trek up to the Central Valley every year. It is the time we spend as a big family. Olivia had a BLAST! Olivia met her first cousin Giada ! What a cutie.

We also attending a Cookie Decorating party at Cousin Carlo and Jamie's Home. All the cousins were there.

Thanksgiving

We hosted our first Thanksgiving Dinner this year. It was wonderful. We were surrounded by all of our wonderful friends and their families. I am sure that I couldn't have pulled this one off without Beth (Thanks ....Beth and Victor). We are so thankful for all of our blessings.

Legoland Extravaganza with Daddy!

Daddy and Olivia ventured out on their own for a weekend trip......Destination....Legoland. Damon (i mean Olivia) wanted to go to Legoland for a long time. Olivia did it all. She has a driver's Licence to prove it! They saw miniature San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles......all made from Legos! I must say that is very cool! They spent the ENTIRE day there (open to close).

The Country Fair

Olivia's school had a Fall Country Fair this year. It was a fundraiser for the school and church. They had an auction, chilli cook off, music, cakewalk and lots of food.

We all went (including JoJo Darling) to the fair. It was a nice family event. Olivia particularly enjoyed the petting zoo.
