November and December 2015

Unfortunately when these photos uploaded they uploaded in a jumbled mix, completely out of order and I don't have time to fix the order. 

These pictures are a small glimpse into what a wonderful holiday season we had. 

A lovely trip to Vancouver & Lynden to visit the family and celebrate Thanksgiving. 

The many fun holiday events in SB over Christmas time and then Christmas day which we spent with our good friends the Ferrones. 

I hope even though these pix are out of order you can still get an idea of the time line by my comments. 

 Dad ripping it up at Mt. Baker over Thanksgiving and I believe it was his birthday as well.

 The kids feeding the ducks at Lake Los Carneros at the end of November in SB.

 Christmas Dinner in our home with the wonderful Ferrone family. We shared lots of laughs and a delicious lasagne dinner prepared by Chefs Chris and Mike.

We took a bottle of wine down to Butterfly Beach for our annual Christmas Day beach walk.
