Happy Holidays to All!

Our Holiday Greeting

Liam performs at the Golden View Holiday Kindergarten Sing.

It was so precious to hear them singing and ringing their little bells.


Christmas with Santa at Gilroy Garden 2008

The BIG Score!

Holiday Party at Yahoo!

Michael took the kids to the office last week for a bit of Holiday celebration. The kids had fun and Michael, well, he just had his hands full of kids who ate too much sugar. Enjoy!

Liam is "Star of the Week"

Each week in Liam's Kindergarten class, the teacher picks a child to be "Star of the Week". To celebrate this exciting event, Liam picked some fun pictures to make two collages and then filled out the big "All About Me" sheet.

In addtion, the child is asked to fill a "Guestimation Jar" with their favorite little toys (all the same), so the other kids can guess how many are in the jar.

Just Me and My Dad

Not sure when this was taken, but I love the pic of me and my Dad.

Cranberry is in the House!

Yesterday it was Liam's turn to bring home Cranberry, the Kindergarten classroom teddy bear. What an adventure; first they visited our neighbor, Donna. After their trip across the street, they came home for dinner and playtime. Liam and Cranberry put Drew to bed and then Liam wanted to show Cranberry some of our Christmas decorations and favorite ornaments. Cranberry had a nice playdate with Liam and went to bed by 8:30am.

Thanksgiving Day

What a fun day! We started off with a great visit to see Grandpa Pop Pop and Grandma Patty at the hospital. It was great to see them both and Pops was having a great time playing with the kids; they were cracking up (as shown in the pic below). They really enjoyed their visit with Pops and Grandma...not to mention they got a bit of loot as well. Spoiled little ones!

Following our visit with Tim and Patty, we made our way to Kath and Joe's for a Thanksgiving feast...and only had to sit in 3 hours of traffic! Apparently everyone celebrates Thanksgiving with an afternoon meal...who knew!? Anyway, The Ruiz's, Gouveia's and Crowley's were joined by Uncle Penn and Guy's parents. We all ate too much a relaxed while the kids destroyed Kath's house. :-)

The infamous Foster Gal Pals

The Cousins trying to eat Thanksgiving dinner soley for the purpose of getting access to PIE!
