Trip To California

We got to go to California for 5 days the end of November - what a treat! We had a wonderful time! The weather was beautiful (up to 75 degrees), we got to spend the entire time with family, we got spoiled by Uncle Jim and Aunt Claudia, and we made tons of memories!

Andrew got to re-meet and Tanner got to meet, their 2nd cousin, Cole. The boys got along splendidly. It was great to see my cousin, Jessie and her husband Jason, and Aunt Lisa! We spent Thanksgiving and the day after just hanging out together. The boys loved the walks through the orange orchard in the garden cart. Great times! We also got to spend a few hours with my biological father, Mike, and I met my cutest little half-sister, Cassandra. Cassandra and the boys played together the entire visit and it was nice to see Mike and introduce him to my little family. Mike says I look just like Mom - I think I've heard that before! :)
We spent most of our time here, at Uncle Jim and Aunt Claudia's beautiful home in Oroville. Andrew loved the one on one time he got to spend with "Unca Jim" and "Aunt Cwadia." We were able to do some sight-seeing, eat what Jesse considers the "best Chinese food ever," celebrate Thanksgiving, and welcome in the Christmas season with caroling around Aunt Claudia's grand piano. We laughed, we visited, we made some wonderful memories! Thanks for everything!

It looks like you guys had a ton of fun in California. kevin and i like your hair. I think it is much blonder than we remember it being. oh, and about the backgrounds, go to thecutestblogontheblock.com and they have tons of layouts and it has the directions and you just copy and paste it in your thing. its really easy.
