Girls Trip

The Tuesday after Christmas we went on our annual Girls Trip. This year Nana, Titi, Aubrey and I all took BART to San Fransisco to see Shrek the Musical. We stayed in the city for two nights, did lots of shopping, enjoyed yummy food and had some really nice girl time. Aubrey was very excited to pack her suitcase and pull it all on her own. When we were packing and getting ready she made it very clear that this was a girls trip and that Daddy, Baby Carter, and Deuce were going to stay home. This was also very exciting since it was Aubrey's first trip on BART and her first time in the Big City. She has been to San Fransisco before to museums but this was the first time in down town.

She was very serious on BART. I think she was taking it all in.

We stayed at the Hilton in Union Square. The Christmas decorations were beautiful. Aubrey loved all the ginger bread houses.

One of my dreams came true!

We made it to the show! Shrek was amazing! The costumes, music, everything was great! Aubrey LOVED it! She was very tired from all the parting prior so she did fall a sleep at one point but she was awake for most of it and could not keep her eyes of the stage. Aunt Pat met up with us for the show.

Papa picked us up in the City on Thursday to bring us home. We got to have fun afternoon with him. Strolling down Burlingame Blvd with the family.

We went to over to Great Grandpa Merv's house to visit. It was nice to see him, Uncle Steve, and Joan.

We had a great time but we missed our boys. Spencer was able to take some vacation time to be with Carter. Also mom & dad sup came out to be with Carter for a day. Carter and Daddy were very happy to see us when we got home.

Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas morning. This was the first time for us to be on our "own." I have been waking up at my parents house for 30 years. Spencer at his parents and then the last 5 at my parents so this year was different for us. It was so much fun having Santa come here and see the joy in our little 2 years old face when she walked down the stairs. It was also a very exciting day because it was Carter's first Christmas. We had a busy morning packed with opening gifts and enjoying cinnamon rolls.

Even Deuce got to be part of the fun!

Like we all thought, Carter loved all the bows and wrapping.

Christmas afternoon Nana, Papa, Titi, Gaga (that is what Aubrey calls uncle Scott), and Aunt Pat came over. We had such a wonderful time enjoying each others company, opening gifts, and eating an awesome dinner. The family all got here before Aubrey and Carter woke up from their naps. It looked like Santa came again!

Winding down time with Nana. Oh what a day! The kids were so tired.

We were so happy to have Christmas here this year and to get to enjoy it with everyone. Thank you Santa and everyone for such a wonderful Christmas and Christmas Eve and spoiling all of us rotten.

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. We went up to Stockton to celebrate with the Sup side. It was a fun day filled with lots of activities and good food.

The kids did a white elephant game. Aubrey was very happy with her Tink puzzle.

The grown-ups also did a white elephant game with silly gifts.

Santa even made a guest appearance. Aubrey was thrilled.

All the cousins.

The Guys.

The ladies.

We made it back home after the party and got ready for the big night. This was the first time that we were at our own home for Christmas Eve night.

I was very happy when I finally found matching Christmas PJ's.

Getting all ready for Santa.

Holiday's on the Farm at Dell' Osso

This year we got to check out Holiday's on the Farm. We love going to the pumpkin patch at this farm and the way they had it decorated for Christmas was also very neat. Aubrey, Carter and I met up with Nana and Titi the week before Christmas. We went on a nice train ride around the farm, jumped on a huge pillow and Aubrey got to see Santa yet again.
