Birthdays in November

While most people only celebrated Thanksgiving in November two of my grand daughters celebrated their birthdays. Amanda turned 10 this year and can be seen below blowing out the candles on her cake. She celebrated her birthday with family and friends on Saturday, Nov 28.

Calaya turned one this year and celebrated with her family and friends on Friday the 27th. Below is a photo of her and her folks Andrew and Brandie.
How about two proud grandmothers and Calaya. She's getting ready to open presents and dive into her cake. She's a real party girl!
We all had a great time this Thanksgiving with multiple dinners and parties. It was great to celebrate with family from as far away as Seattle and the California Bay Area. We got back home late on Saturday evening and spent Sunday recovering from all the fun.

As you can see I'm working on a new format for my blog. I felt it was starting to look dated so I'm making some changes. I'm still not done.

Cheryl and I will leave for Palm Springs on Saturday for a week in the sun (we hope). Alex will be here to pet sit and gather the mail. You may remember last year we went down with a group of family members. This year it will just be Cheryl and myself. It appears a new baby is about to arrive and no one wants it to be born in California.

As usual I'll be blogging while on vacation. It seems I have more to say then or maybe just more time.
