Quick Weekend Stop

Grandma L and Grandpa R came for a quick weekend visit. It was their last trip to CA to see us before we move. Juliet and I picked them up from the airport and immediately headed down to the city to have lunch on the Pier and tour Alcatraz. We were gone for most of the day (even got caught in the commuter traffic.....). We met up with Jake for dinner at this delicious Mexican Restaurant by our house and stuffed our faces. Juliet caught a cold over Thanksgiving, and our trip to Alcatraz made it worse so we stayed in the next two days and played games, ate yummy food, and watched some tv. It was relaxing and just what we needed! I love having family come to visit, and I am sure gonna miss CA.

Juliet all bundled up. In the shade of the prison it was really cold!

Uncle S told us to try out this mini donut shop that makes fresh donuts and gives them to you in a bucket. So we did and we were not disappointed!

Sunday Juliet stayed home from church due to her cold so Grandma and Grandpa willingly took the responsibility of staying with her. Grandpa never turns down snuggles with his baby!

Thanksgiving

We went to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving and had such a fun time! Lots of family, food, and fun times. Jake and I got to spend a night down on the strip for our anniversary and Grandma and Grandpa watched Juliet for us. It was lovely. Juliet also met her great-grandparents. There was lots of cousin time and Juliet loved chasing all this kids around.

Our anniversary date night! Happy 4 years to us!

Little E and Juliet were fighting over Grandma! It was really funny and cute!

Meeting Great-Grandpa W

Juliet and E are three months apart. Juliet loved playing with E, but E wasn't so sure about this new girl on her turk

Uncle Jake is always a winner with the kids!

Juliet LOVED to climb up on the fireplace, but she didn't know how to get down herself so it was always a battle with her. She knows how to climb down now - of course

Meeting Great Grandma W

I love this picture so much. Juliet playing with Grandpa W

We also went to a basketball game with the siblings and Grandma and Grandpa watched all the kids. We of course did not take a picture, but we had a fun night. We got into the game and joked around. It was nice to hang out with family again. I love hanging out with Jake's family because we are the youngest, and it is nice to have "older siblings".
