Christmas in California

Cousins love to eat together, even at Target!
Uncle Ben pushes a full cart!
Anyone wanna play Monopoly??

Cousin breakfast

Olivia is in on all the action

It's great to stay in jammies all day!

Look at us -we climbed up here on the rope wall!

Digging...

Building...

Cousins all around!

The yummies : )

The TX cousins visited the Thomases for a couple days. Can you say FUN?

We went to Aunt Carol's funeral service on the 23rd. She was such a lovely lady, and the service was a wonderful remembrance of her life.
We go to In N Out as often as possible!
It was fun to go the Cabrillo Aquarium with the TX cousins.
Everyone started looking like a fish after a few hours here...

The hands-on touch tank was interesting
There we some small sharks in the water...
It's great to be together!
A favorite memory for me is when Olivia came and snuggled with me one morning : ) I loved getting to know her better this trip!!!!
Ben and Trisha arrived on Dec 22 and spent 2 nights with us. What a special time! We went to the Cabrillo Aquarium for a few hours on Tues, which was perfect. The adults went to Carol's funeral, where Ben led the singing and Andy offered the Eulogy. The grand-nieces did a fantastic job recalling memories of Aunt Carol. On Christmas Eve we all traveled to Andy & Carrie's house, where they hosted us all! Bring on the cousin party!!! My camera battery died on Christmas morning, so I don't have any pics of Christmas Day - anyone else???
