'O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree"

Christmas Tree decorating is a Family Affair.

We blast the Christmas music and have hot chocolate.

We decided to put up our artifical tree this year, due to tight funds.

(We went Green)

Even the grumpys joined in. They usually are less grumpy about half way through the process.


I will finish up the tree later. When no one is home.

Roger Ditches Family Night

Roger was offered these amazing tickets to the Warriors game on monday night. He and his brother-in-law Jon saw an awesome game. The Warriors lost in overtime 130-129. He forgot to take the camera, they sat courtside, fourth row.

With Christmas Music Blasting

We had to take at least one goofy picture.

The Christmas staging area.
We staged the Christmas decorations in the garage, because it will take me at least a week to decorate.

David headed into the attic to help dad.

A few of you have heard Amee talk about our "human conveyor belt", well here we go.

David and Roger were in the attic. Amee to Bryan to myself, and behind me is Ryan, Amee's boyfriend, who came in through the garage door.

Happy Thanksgiving

David and his cousin Riley. Since they were the only two little kids this year, they tried just about anything to keep themselves entertained. They even got a little too physical, there were tears.

There is always room for dessert on Thanksgiving.

The Birthday Girls

"The Party Girls"

Paula, Lisa, Terrie, Amy and Myself. We all have November birthdays, a perfect opportunity to Par-tay. While we were dinning we decided it didn't have to be our birthdays to get together. We may be partying alot in the future, "look out world", we are hard-core water drinkers.

(For those of you who know Karen and David Pierce, check out their blog. The picture of Karen and her friends was taken at the same place "Flavors.)

My Birthday Weekend in Clearlake

We traveled to Nice (Clearlake) to spend the weekend with my mom and Cindy, who came down from Oregon. My sister Mauryia drove up from Petaluma. Mom and Cindy own a time share, so we got to stay at this beautiful resort right on Clearlake.

Silly Bryan, eating marsh mallows out of the bag with a fork.

You'd think that I don't feed the kid.
