Packer Backers

Well, Otto and I did our part to no avail. Sigh. He got the jersey from Grandad and Bubbles for his 4th birthday - get it? I got mine from a kind husband. No, we did not paint our faces and I'm not sure if Otto knows who Brett Favre is...

Otto and his presents - he loves his new gorilla shirt from Auntie Joan!

Otto loved trying out his cousins' costumes in Oakland!

Not a White Christmas

Walnut Creek did not provide a white Christmas but we did get to hear stories from grammie and go for a romp outside so it was well worth it!

Cousins

Here are some of the cousins hanging out together on the sofa enjoying apples. Clem is demonstrating a Weber family pastime: creating apple flaps.

Burritos!

We stayed with Molly's family for the first part of the trip and they were kind enough to help me with my burrito addiction - by taking me to Picante. You just cannot get a good burrito here in my neighborhood! Lucy did the waitress thing and made sure our water glasses were full!
Then we had to work those off at a local playground. Eamon, Clementine and Otto worked for quite a while on this woodchip pile but I didn't get a photo of Eamon in there so he has to be separate.

Home again!

Well the Webers have returned from a whirlwind vacation in SF - yes, they get the internet there but I still didn't manage to update the blog! Over the next few days I'll see if I can catch us up. I will start the farthest back. Our first day was at Aunt Sue's making beautiful gingerbread houses (thank you Sue, what fun!). I somehow didn't manage to get out the camera during the creation phase but here is a fun photo from the yard later, working off some of the sugar:
