Christmas 2008

I know it's over a month late, but we finally posted some Christmas pictures. Emilee and I left sunny South Florida for, what now seems to us, cold California. Before we moved to Florida we used to look forward to California weather during Christmas break, but now daytime highs in the 50s are chilly to us.
We flew on the afternoon Christmas Eve and arrived in San Francisco later that night. We spend about a week with my family, which included Christmas, my parents' anniversary, and Dallin's birthday.
Emilee then made the two hour trek south to Coalinga while I stayed behind and studied for my upcoming optometry board exam. Emilee's parents had just recently visited us in Florida a few weeks prior and we had a nice time with them here. My next blog entry will be pictures of their visit.

Update: After posting this entry and looking at the pictures, I realized that there only a few photos of Christmas in Coalinga and several pictures of us in Livingston. The reason? Poor Emilee got very sick with the stomach flu the first night she was in Coalinga and was only able to snap a few of photos :(

Thanksgiving 2008

Here are some pictures of Thanksgiving 2008 that we have been meaning to post for a couple of months now. In all, we had 17 total people including Emilee and Me. I baconed-up a 26 pound turkey and we all ate it along with great fixins and pies. This is the third year that we have hosted a Thanksgiving dinner and hope to keep the tradition alive for many years to come.
