More Christmas 2008


Christmas Day - We woke up at 7 and actually had to get Lily out of bed at 8 so she could see what Santa had brought! She was thrilled that he ate her cookies and drank the milk that she had left him. He even left her a note. We went to my parents for breakfast after we opened presents, and then we had lunch with Kevin and Brooke. In the evening, Kevin and Brooke came over with the Neilsens (our neighbors) for ribs, company potatoes and green beans. The day after Christmas, we went to Kristen's to celebrate with Charlie's kids (sorry...no pics...it is chaotic with 7 kids there under 7 years old!), and then we went to my parent's again for dinner. Between the parties, I packed up our fifth wheel, and we left for Paso Robles around 8:30 PM and were there by 10:30. We met up with some old friends, the Thalmayers, whom I had grown up with, and we camped there for 4 days. My sister and her family were there with some friends from their church also. We enjoyed lots of fellowship, good food, good wine and great fun.
The adults (with little Grace) were able to leave for a few hours to go wine tasting. Here we are in the barrel room at Cass Winery.
