Thanksgiving Rewind


Holy cow I can't believe it's only a few days until Christmas! I am trying my best to stay one holiday ahead on our blog. Here is our Thanksgiving Rewind!

For Thanksgiving week Auntie Masha drove down to visit us from Happy Camp, CA. Happy Camp is very close to the Oregon border. She worked as a wild land fire fighter this past fire season and decided to stay!

Auntie Masha isn't a kid person, her words not mine, but I think we may have converted her because she had a great time hanging out with Charley!



Hanging out with Auntie Masha




On Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner at our house in Rocklin with Auntie Masha, Oma, Lou, and Pop. We decided to keep things simple and ordered the Holiday Feast from Mimi's. It was yummy!




Everyone loved watching Charley while we waited for dinner!




Allen and Marilyn recently sold their homes in the bay area and moved to Sonora. They have been eager to show us their new home so on Friday we packed everything up and Masha, Charley, Darrin, and I drove two and a half hours to go visit them for the weekend. Masha was a good sport about listening to children's music the whole trip in the car!

On Saturday Marilyn's son Gerrin and his wife Kristen and their baby Gemma came up for the weekend along with Kristen's parents. It was a full house. It was really fun to watch Charley and Gemma interact since they are only 2 months apart. On Saturday afternoon we had a big Thanksgiving dinner and then went for a walk around Allen and Marilyn's new home.

Here are some goats that we saw on our walk after dinner

On Sunday before we left we drove to the airport to see Allen's new shop.
