Anna has been on the honor roll every quarter! Go Anna!
The Bradshaws came to church and we loved being in classes together!
Los Altos Light Parade Tradition!
Ella turned double digits - 10 years old! I can't believe it!
Her birthday party was at the mall
We love you so much Ella!!!!
Thank you for 10 incredible years!
Witty, smart, fun and still the best cuddler in the family. You have made our lives so wonderful by your goodness, talents and sweetness! It's wonderful to watch you grow up, but you don't need to rush it or anything!
Everyday Colton begs to go to Open Gate! He is IN LOVE with preschool!
And I have to admit, I love my friendships with the moms there. They are very cool ladies.
We made gingerbread houses in Olivia's kindergarten on the last day of school
I dropped by Ella's school to help and found this:
A ton of parents and a buffet line. Nothing like North Star. Lots of yummy food and lots of wonderful, caring parents.
Santa Claus showed up at our door with Madison, my piano student
and brought us a flat screen tv for Christmas from the Bohannans and the Beaver Family! Renee and Beth strike again! I will never forget their kindness and goodness to us. We were speechless!
If we have any extra time and Christmas money from my parents, we can't resist going to the KOA in Petaluma.
We met a special family there. Kayle's mom only has a couple months to live and they are traveling everywhere in an RV, making the most of their time together. Sad but beautiful too, to meet them and hear their story. It makes you grateful for your time with your family.
A new tradition begins, walking across the Golden Gate bridge on a cloudless San Franciscan day.
Colton's first carousel ride in Golden Gate Park
Greek food in Berkeley
Final stop was at the Oakland Temple to see Behold the Gift for the Days of Christmas. We wanted to make sure we saw the lights and felt the spirit at the Temple this year.
Colton asleep
And finally the big day arrived, Christmas morning!
Colton opening up his gift from Olivia. She came up with a $1.00 car at Safeway and asked me if I could buy it for her to give to Colton.
Onto Grandma and Grandpa Fraser's house to get totally and completed spoiled with love and gifts and good food! $100.00 cash - oh my!
Little does Colton realize the joy he will soon have when he receives his first light saber from the Frasers!
Grandmas always know when you need new Vans.
