Christmas in San Diego

All got in around Christmas Eve. Had a huge breakfast at the hotel, hung around at the hottub and then headed to Cassie's for presents under the tree and Christmas dinner. We tried really hard for a good picture, but it just didn't happen.

The Wild Animal Park was one of the highlights of the trip. We all had a pretty good time. This lion was pretty cool. Nice shot Alli.

Walking around La Jolla Cove before church.
Other than that we just had a lot of unity time. all 7 of us squished in one car for a good part of it. to the movies, out to dinner, lots of breakfast eating and just hanging around. checking the surf and even some surfing. not a bad Christmas at all.

The girls were still in SD for New Years and decided to go to this big party they have there. it was pretty fun. And Cassie's boyfriend Chris who we all liked very much.

Happy 2009 everyone!

Grandma from Florida

Hi Everyone, Grandma here, just signing in now that I made it to Fl. The weather couldn't be nicer--about 70-80 % The pool is warm ,although I haven't been in it yet. After a long delay at JFK, Penny picked me up and she locked the keys in the car and then we ran out of gas. It was quite a home coming , but all is well here and I'm unpacked. Patti came this weekend witih Fletch and Silken and it was quite a weekend. They brought there new dog and he she and Gilgo did not get along. There were alot of fights and we had to separarte them. Misty, thier dog, also likeD TO LEAVE "dumps" in the computer room and did so faithfully twice a day, no matter how we tried to keep her out. The kids ahd fun taking turns in the golf cart- alife saver. I had to put 6 new batteries in it $700. , but it was worth it. Between that and the dog park , the weekend was a success. While I was gone Patti did my gardning and trimmed the trees and bushes. It was good to see here. All is well and I just heard that that bid on the house in Ca. went through and so after I sign the papers and pay,I"ll be a home owner. so thats good . So I'll be puttting this up for sale I guess. Well thats bput all . oh Poor Gary hes snow bound 5 ft of snow and ice! love to all Grandma
