Quick Visit with Scott's and Uncle Ron

 The Scott Family made a quick stop at our house the day after Christmas for a couple of days before they headed to Disneyland.  The kids had a great time playing together.   Uncle Ron also came by for pizza and games.  Despite such a short visit we all had a great time!

Thanksgiving 2014

We made a trip up to San Jose for our Thanksgiving Break.  We enjoyed Thanksgiving with Grandpa Ron.  We spent lots of time with the Scott Family.  Nicole and Heidi even did some middle of the night Black Friday shopping.  Heidi met up with her friend Tina for a nice lunch and visit.  Baron and the boys met up with some of his cousin.   We sure loving visiting everyone and are very thankful for that time.
