Thanksgiving 2011

My pictures somehow are backwards. But here it goes......
We went up to Morro Bay to Gary's house for Thanksgiving Day. It was an absolutely fabulous time. Great fun with family. My parents came along too. That night we stayed in a hotel. Friday morning we drove home via the wineries in Paso Robles.
Here is mom and Mary at Rabbit Ridge Winery.

This is Mary enjoying some wine grape juice at Castoro.
At Castoro there is a winery cat named Desperado. He's the best cat, next to our Syrah. The kids were happy to sit and pet him while we tasted wine.

Now off to the family pictures. I got some great ones this year.

Linda enjoying bread, she's not supposed to eat.

Grandma and granddaughters.

The sun finally came out for a moment to sit outside and enjoy.

What a fun time we had. Now off to Teresa's birthday and Christmas!!!

Week of Fun

This weekend we had a fun, quick, family trip to see family and friends.
Here is Teresa ready to go have fun!!
Here is Mary ready to be there!!

First stop was lunch with Margeaux and kids. My kids were so excited to see their cousins.

Kevin and his sister.

Next we were off to go visit Sal, Stephanie, and baby Rafael. He is such a cute chunky monkey!

The girls had so much fun trying to play with him. He's only 2 1/2 months old, so he's not too interactive yet. But the girls loved it anyhow.

Stephy looked so good. Still tired, but she still looked great!

Boutique Time

So I've become a creative cork making fool these days. I saw this cork wreath in a winery and said, I can do that! So I started doing it. I collect corks from family and friends and got some wineries to send me some too.
A friend was having a small boutique and asked me if I wanted to sell. I thought why not! I did not expect much, or anything. But it was a great experience. There were only about 15-20 people who showed up. I sold 4 ornaments and one wreath. It was all good. Got some good feed back. Now to perfect my product a bit and find another boutique to sell at!

Halloween 2011

We headed over to Jamie's house for trick or treating fun. It was a lot of fun with all our friends.

Mary and Gabriella being such good buddies. = )

Kevin and his Halloween costume. Totally fit him. I saw this at Walmart and had to buy it.

Another fun year!
