Festivities Continue

Things haven't really stopped since we got here. Christmas day continued with more food, family and drinks....we even had a little white Christmas! If it's not hailing it's raining. We've had one dry day since we got here. It's not cold just wet.

The best family pic is the most obnoxious of me!

The headlines on Christmas day were that the day after was going to be the new BLACK FRIDAY!! You know what the means?? SHOPPING!!! Mom and I made the 2 1/2 hour trek south to do some shopping. We were successful naturally.

Saturday morning DH and I went for a hike to the falls as Russian Gulch. It was drippy and gorgeous!

We the headed to the cliffs to see the Point Cabrillo Light House. The ocean was angry and beautiful!

Saturday afternoon Aunt Janice and Uncle Lyle made the trek to the coast for yet another family get together. More food and drinks...but before DH and I could partake we headed to mass at the church we were married in. It was so fun being there again. It's exactly what you would expect of a itty bitty coastal church on a dark rainy night. Just lovely.

Like many of the pictures from earlier in the week, Walker was in control of the camera and did a phenomenal job of capturing the fun moments of the evening

The boys headed home early but the rest of us were up until 1 AM playing Mexican Train - I won! The boys were back over the next morning, they had a little more energy than the rest of us.

Thank goodness Mom got a totally rock'n espresso maker, we've been living on lattes for the past couple of days. DH and I headed to town yesterday and made our way to the brewery. For those that don't know, the North Coast Brewery was named on of the nations top 10 micro brewery's. We sampled 10 of their 12 beers.

Not sure what's on tap for today - there's talk of bowling and Mexican food. What could be better?
