We’ve been having lots of fun with the family this week. We spent Friday through Monday up at Mom and Dad Matthew’s in Foresthill, and got lots and lots of snow!   We took a treacherous drive down the hill Monday morning. I love looking at snow but can do without the cold, thank you very much.

We’ve been staying at Shane and Shawna’s this week and helping take care of Ayden (it’s a rough job but someone’s go to do it!) I like to read him books in Spanish. He loves it!

He’s a very good baby and so stinkin’ adorable. Wednesday night we packed him up in his new outfit Auntie and Uncle got him for Christmas and took him up to Nevada City for their Victorian Christmas. He was snug as a bug inside Michael’s jacket. The rest of us, however, were freezing!

After some hot cider, we settled indoors and had Thai food with some of Shane’s friends.

Last night we met up with a few friends at Claimjumper. We also got to see our old friend Rachel (Jupin) Clark on Monday night. She’s expecting a boy at the beginning of February! We had our server take a picture of us but it did not turn out.

Tonight we’re meeting up with the extended family on my mom’s side for dinner. Tomorrow, we have Michael’s extended family Christmas. Then we’re off to spend a couple of days with the grandparents. Michael’s going to try to snowboard on Tuesday, then we’re headed back to Texas. Good times!
