Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I've enjoyed an abundance of knitting time (in preparation of some special gifts for January), but it's come at the expense of my blogging efforts and photography-ing. So, you'll have to endure with this little taste of our trip home until we land back in SoCal this Saturday.



One morning, early morning, Sam and I headed out to meet Adam in SJ (he'd stayed behind to work) for New Year's...here's what I saw along the way...
...my favorite falls in Claredon...


...a pond hockey rink...

...an old barn...

...random road-side scene...



Saturday, Jan 3rd, we snuck in a visit with Matthew, Connie and Dallas

Sam and Matthew were glad to see each other, as always :)




...And a little Ring Around the Rosey...







...And some bowling...



...And a snack...



...And a little RockBand...





...And some offroading...




After leaving Matthew's, we headed to Adam's Aunt Jocelyn's house to visit Uncle Dan, Naya, Jon and baby Eli (we had a delish speghetti bake and HOMEMADE!!! icecream cake!-thanks again, everything was wonderful!).
...kids enjoying the cake...

...Sam got a little hopeful, calling Eli his little brodder...Jon didn't think much of that!


...Naya played for us...

...Sam tried out Eli's bumbo...

...and Eli was just his cute little self :)
