A new cousin

Yay!  We have a new cousin to hold.  This one is Ryan, and he is Michael's sister's and brother in law's (Adrienne and Danny) little guy.  We can't wait to watch him grow up!

Dicken's Fair

A few weeks ago, we went to The Great Dickens Christmas Fair at the Cow Palace .  It was fun to see all the people dressed up, eat bangers and mash, and stroll along London at Christmas time!

 The girls were even more thrilled to see these anime characters walking around...

Fall! ...and all the stuff that goes with it!

I love Fall time!  I recently went to Trader Joe's, and purchased pumpkin everything I could eat that had pumpkin in it. 

We went to a pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay one afternoon.  

My mom made a new friend!

Amber in her Halloween costume - a Japanese comic character - of course!  We went to a couple of Halloween parties.  These pictures are from our church Halloween party. 

 Thing 1 and Thing 2, in baby version and boy version!

 For the longest time, Karina was missing...we should have known we would find her busy painting faces! 

Smoke and fire!

Karina and Lauren

Gangsta' Nick

This weekend we visited Danville, where Michael grew up, and we explored the small private elementary school he went to.  

The kids still like climbing the play structure!

 After we went to the down town area, and looked at all the shops. 

...and then it was time for the movies.  (we saw James Bond - Sky Fall)  It was a fun way to spend an autumn day!

Time...(VEGAS!!!)

It is that time of year again!

Time to enjoy some beautiful sun shine...

Time to enjoy a lovely view from our hotel window...

Time to get spoiled! (my wonderful friend, Milette, surprised my mom and I by ordering room service for us!  We came back to our room to find champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, cheese and fruits!)

Time to explore new places that keep popping up every year...

Time to window shop for things I just don't see when I shop at Target!

 

 

Time to take another picture in this exact same spot, that we do every time we go to Las Vegas...

Time to look at all the gorgeous Fall decorations...

Time for a night time walk!

...and most important, time to spend with my mom!
