We had a great Christmas this year. We played lots of games and watched our kittens be naughty. Most of all we enjoyed relaxing and hanging out with each other.  Jake was thrilled with his crab pot from Grandma and Grandpa  I am going to blame this mess on the PUG The number one gift Jenna wanted was these Giant Peppermint Patties! 

In October Jenna's sweet kitty Holly passed away. It was unexpected and really sad. Holly was such a sweet cat. We loved her very much and we were heartbroken. We decided we would get a new kitten to fill the void and some how one kitten turned into getting two kitties-one for Jake and one for Jenna  What better Christmas gift than 2 sweet kittens  Meet Maylie and Oliver This is Maylie  This is Oliver I had plans of taking lots of cute kitten photos but they did not think they should cooperate with that. They would rather run and play than pose for pictures. They are sweet and lots of fun, we love them already!

We were so lucky to get to spend Thanksgiving in California this year. It was great to have Thanksgiving dinner with George's family.   Dinner outside since it was 80 degrees  The kids were so eager to eat this chocolate turkey-then they had a blast stabbing it. Visiting with Grandma Pauline We spend 2 nights in Newport beach and met up with my cousins family-it was great to see them since it has been many years. We had 2 days of nice weather at the beach, Jake and George went boogie boarding while me and Jenna sat on the beach enjoying the sunshine. Of course we spent several days at Disneyland, even running into Jenny one night (we knew they were there and they spotted us in Cars land) George's family came with us one day to Disneyland, I think we wore them out.  We stayed the night at the Disneyland hotel one night (thank goodness we get a good discount from George's work) A trip to Disneyland is never complete wit...
