X-mas Carmine...

Got to stop in and pay a visit with Carmine...Such a cutie! Sooo much hair! Tony and Tamara are super cute with the baby! Nice work guys!

X-Mas Day...Pups...

Went out Christmas day to visit Grandma...and to love up the dogs. Some folks may remember her as Houdini...Now she waddles under the alias Dicey. I adopted her from the pound around 12 years ago and then my grandma took her in. She has been an amazing dog for my grandma...Such a lover! And a day or two after my grandmas Lab Larry passed this little dog wandered up to my grandmas front door. Best door she could wander up to. These two girls are such tanks now...they get fed sooo much food. Wienies, Turkey legs, some sorta crazy stew that gets poured on to their food. Fat, Happy and starting to get a little grey on the chest and chin...Aren't we all...Aren't we all...

X-Mas Eve...

Family, Prime Rib and presents...can't go wrong with that. Great to see everyone! The highlight of the night was definitely Jack and Quinn opening the belt fed Nerf guns that ran on 6 D-Cell batteries and fired 3 rounds a second...It went something like this..."Dude...Duuuuude...If you got what I got...DUUUUDE...you have the same box that I go..Duuude oooopen that box!"

X-Mas Road Trip...

This years trek up for Christmas we decided to do the coastal route...Inspired by settlers that had braved this expanse years previous. Namely Ryan and Sacha. Drove up to Ventura Monday night and had a lovely stay at Le Chateau Motel 6. Then we drove the coast up to Monterey. Stopped in Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Los Padres and a few other pit stops. Freaking awesome!!! Great weather...Fantastic scenery! Shacked up in Monterey sampled a few local cigars and beverages called it a night and drove to the M-E-R-C-E-D in the morning. Aaand I took no where near enough photots. Getting lazy...

Break in the X-Mas Trip Action...

Fast forward to today...We Went and kicked the soccer ball around. Then had the pizza party of pizza parties with the world's LARGEST pizza!
