The Holidays

Ok, we're playing a little catch up. We realized that we have neglected the blog for a few months now ... oops!  So, here it goes.  We spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Sara's family in Longview, Washington.  Auntie Lala came from New York, and we got to see Gee Gee (Great Grandma Patton), Great Aunt Katie, Great Uncle Richard, Cousin Aidan, Great Uncle John, Carol, Grandma, and Grandpa).  It was beautiful in Washington.  We had fantastic food and celebrated Grandma Joni's 60th Birthday!  In December, Connor visited Santa and participated in his school's Christmas pageant where he was dressed as a hippopotomus and danced to "I Want a Hippopotomus for Christmas" on stage for all of the parents.  Then we spent Christmas in San Diego at Nana and Papa's and Connor saw the entire Mean's clan (including his cousin's RJ and Clementine) as well as many of the Enoch's family!  We spent "Second Christmas" in Lake Forest wtih Lara, Grandma, Grandpa, and Gee Gee (Great Grandma Izu).  Connor got 2 teeth over the holidays.  We rang in New Year's Eve in Santa Barbara with Chris, Jill, Lara, Kelly and Luke, while Connor spent time with Grandma, Granpa and Great Aunt Cheryl in Thousand Oaks.  We celebrated New Years day with the Izu family partaking in the traditional Ozoni Soup for lunch as well as Lollipop Chicken and Finger Jello.
