New Year's Eve and I'm NOT in Stockton

This was my very first New Year's Eve that I am not in Stockton!  Kinda weird.  Not sure if I like it or not, but we had a busy day here in San Ramon so I didn't have too much time to think about it.  We'll be there all day tomorrow tho!

This morning we ran errands ~ Costco, Sprouts and Safeway.  Did lots of cooking ~ made kushiyaki, potato salad, daikon kimchi, teriyaki chicken for ozoni tomorrow and boiled spinach and green beans.    I'm POOPED!

Gregory made ramen for lunch since we weren't going to have our usual soba for dinner

Our New Year's Eve Dinner ~ YUM!

Watchin' the BIG Boys!

We've been to a couple of Oliver's JV basketball games over the Christmas break.  Gregory LOVES to see his older cousin in action!

Every time Oliver played Gregory held up his sign

GO American!

They WON!!

Aunty took us out for treats after the game.  THANK YOU, Aunty Kristin!

Merry Christmas!!

The kids tell me 2015 was the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!

Santa came!!

They tell me Santa was a little confused, but they straightened it all out :)

Happy Christmas Eve

 Merry Christmas Eve!  Pictures are all out of order, but I'm too tired to figure out what happened!  We had a very nice Christmas Eve ~ dinner at our favorite Brass Door, family fun photos and some gift opening.  Kids set up cookies for Santa and an elf and now we are hitting the hay and hoping he will show up!

JJ!

My new pancho!

Where did Uncle find a Quick jersey??

And where did Auntie find a kitty shirt??

And when did my baby Sparky come back to me??
