Friday after Tim got off work we drove down to Rocklin to stay the night. Aunt Linda prepared a lovely dinner for up us and Tim's cousin Kendall and her fiance John joined us too. So nice to get to spend some time with them too. They were down at her parent's house in Santa Cruz for Thanksgiving so it was the same case for them too. Good times!
Saturday we had some lovely doughnuts at Krispy Kreme. Took a little trip to Toys 'R Us! Then had pizza at Dan's favorite pizza place that is pretty much tradition to get each time we spend time together down there. One of Dan's good buddies came to join us. Cole lives in San Fran and I guess came to stay the night.
After lunch we said our good buys and drove up to Nevada City where my Grandpa Bill and Grandma Carol lives. Mom and Dad, my sister Cara and her boyfriend were there too. We had a nice dinner, the first time for all 8 of us to be around that table together. We played find the "Elf on the Shelf" and find the pickle on the tree (a German tradition), and had our little gift exchange. There were many laughs that evening. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Everyone went home, but Tim and I stayed the night. Sunday we joined Grandma and Grandpa at their church in Grass Valley, Twin Cities. Got to meet a number of their friends that go there. We also got to see some of Tim's mom's good friends the Brattons. After all this time, I think that was my first time actually getting to meet them. Sandy has some pretty great girlfriends!
The four of us had a tasty brunch at one of their favorite places in town. Actually got to run into my Uncle Richard (Grandpa's brother) when we were leaving, they were just going in. On the way home we did a little driving around G&G's neighborhood, there is some pretty cool stuff around there. Then watched some football at the house together for the afternoon before we headed home.
We got to spend some good quality time together. Its been a while since we last got to catch up. It was nice!
