We also went to Station and Will and Zayley played in the gravel play area while we ate, which was good times. And we went to Target! And played games after the kids went to bed!
On Monday, Grandma Gail and Grandpa Bill came down from Fallbrook to hang out with the kids while we went with Nate and Miranda to see Harry Potter and eat cheese & chocolate at the Melting Pot.
On Tuesday, Nate, Miranda, and Zayley headed up to Fallbrook. Ian came over and played Madden with Lorne, and when he got a touchdown Will shouted, "Boo Ian! BOOOOO!" I suspect he's learned how to watch football with his mom.
On Wednesday, we drove up to Fallbrook.
Lorne made 1,000,000 sweet potatoes.
Miranda and Laurel started baking the best cake ever.
Here is a terrible picture of the kids in their new pajamas from Grandma Gail.
On Thursday, it was Thanksgiving. We ate a lot. The kids played in Aunt Diana's bouncy house.
Jenny had some fun crafts for the kids to do. Everyone made turkey hats and a turkey hand (which we didn't get a picture of, but it's super cute and going on our fridge).
Will in his turkey hat.
Me in Will's turkey hat.
Miranda with Jake.
Between dinner and dessert, Lorne got Evie to giggle. It was pretty cute.
Oh, and that cake I mentioned on Wednesday? It was awesome. It's the Aunt Sassy Cake from Baked Explorations. The cake was perfect, the frosting was light and flavorful, and it was just delicious. Yeah, I'm totally raving over the cake we baked. What.
Miranda decorated it perfectly, didn't she? (I frosted the innards - aren't they the prettiest innards you've ever seen?)
I think we need to open a bakery together.
On Friday, everyone drove up to Livermore, CA. Haven't you been to Livermore? It's a magical place, with elves and fairies and chocolate rivers, and everyone should go there at least once. Or maybe it's just where we stayed so we could go see the Huskies play Cal on Saturday.
When everyone arrived, Will and Zayley watched Toy Story on Zayley's DVD player while the rest of us watched the poor Boise State kicker choke. Twice.
On Saturday, we went to Berkeley.
Riding the BART.
Watching the band play at the Husky Warmup (AKA, The Football Party, as the kids called it)
I didn't take any pictures during the game because 1) we didn't bring the good camera with and 2) my cell phone camera doesn't do too well with the rain. And it rained. A lot. All over us. And then it hailed.
But the Huskies won, so it was all worth it.
Evie dries out after the game.
Will and Lorne watch Bee Movie on the hotel teevee after the game.
Awww, man! Now I miss you guys even more! Plus I want some cake. I had already forgotten how beautiful it was.
