Yo Gabba Gabba Live!

This evening we went to YGGL and we loved it!

We even dressed Emma up in her Foofa costume.

She was so proud to wear it. :)

She smiled shyly every time she got a compliment.

A family shot.

Silly Mama and Daddy were wearing their DJ Lance glasses.

We loved the Biz's Beat of the Day part.

I never thought I would ever see Biz Markie in person.

He was pretty funny, but I would have enjoyed him more if he broke out in to "You say he's just a friend."

Emma passed out on the way home.

It was a lot of excitement for one night.

She loved her new Foofa shirt.

Guess what she asked to watch on TV as soon as we got home... you guessed it, YGG.

Happy 90th!!!

Yesterday afternoon we drove up to celebrate Nana Flo's 90th Birthday!

Nana Flo is my best friend Stepheni's grandmother.

She is a very special lady that has quite the sense of humor and is as sweet as can be.

There was a big party planned, but unfortunately Nana hasn't been feeling well, so a smaller party was held at her retirement home.

We were honored to celebrate such a special occasion with Nana Flo!

Lights!

I LOVE Christmas lights!

Love, love, love them!

After going to see the Knob Hill lights the night before, we decided it was time to put up our lights on Friday.

Emma got all dressed up to help Daddy.

One of our neighbors sarcastically thanked Doug.

I think he realized that now his wife would see our lights and want theirs up.

After Douggie finished putting up our lights, we headed over to Papa and Abuelita's house to help put up theirs.

I am Thankful for...

this little Turkey!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at my Uncle Ruben's & Aunt Kelleen's house in Valley Center.

Emma wore herself out.

She played with the older kids all day, and had to take a little nap because she couldn't keep up with them.

We had a wardrobe change, and she wore the Turkey shirt that I made for her.

On our way home we drove by the house on Knob Hill to check out the lights.

Emma got so excited, so yelled "OUT!"

So we parked the car and got out to see the lights up close.

Then we came home and had a little play time with Uncle Andy before bed time.

We are so thankful!

Thankful for our fabulous family.

Thankful that Uncle Andy came to spend the day with us.

Thankful for a wonderful feast,

and Thankful for all of our friends and family reading this!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

The day before Thanksgiving breakfast

Every year we go to breakfast the day before Thanksgiving at the Golden Egg Omelet House.

It is one of my most favorite breakfast days of the year.

Read the shirt Cris is wearing carefully.

That's right, she is pregnant!!!

She shared the news with us by wearing the shirt to breakfast.

She is due in June and we are so excited for another little guy/gal to join the family.

Our Napa getaway

We had such a great weekend in Napa.

This was our 2nd trip there (we also went for our 1 year anniversary) and we had a fabulous time again.

We flew into Oakland and then drove over to Napa.

In the rental car and off to our 1st stop... Old Navy, because I was silly and forgot my jacket at home. It was a chilly and rainy weekend, so a new jacket was a must.

Napa is beautiful in the fall, even when it is wet and rainy.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites in Napa and we enjoyed our stay there.

They had a beautiful garden area with a pond full of ducks and swans.

Our 1st stop in Napa was Jessup Cellars.

This was a favorite from our last trip so we figured it would be a great way to start off the trip.

Then we went to lunch at Bistro Don Giovanni and it was delicious.

Tasting at Goose Cross Cellars,

and then tasting at Silverado Vineyards.

We met a really nice lady who was a wine member and she let us use her guest pass and taste the Library tastings. Dave, from Silverado, was even so nice and let us taste a 1985 Cabernet Sauvignon, it was amazing!

A little more tasting at Silenus,

and even more tasting at Threfeten Family Vineyards.

We headed back to the hotel just in time for the nightly happy hour reception.

Side note: it is never a good idea to drink cheap hotel wine after enjoying really good wine.

Man that was a bad headache, ugh!

Dinner at FARM at the Carneros Inn.

Then Saturday morning we drove around Yountville and we fell in love all over again.

It is such a great downtown and it is home of some pretty amazing restaurants like the French Laundry, Redd, Hurleys and Bistro Bouchon.

We got some yummy breakfast treats at Bouchon Bakery.

Then we were ready for some more tasting.

We were so lucky to have my good friend from high school, Allyson and her husband Cagdas meet up with us. They live just south of the bay area, so they drove over Saturday morning to join in on the fun.

We took a little guided tour and visited Hagafen, Black Stallion, Arger-Marticcui and Hopper Creek wineries.

We had a great tour, and thankfully none of us ended up like this girl...

She was passed out in the lobby and was even snoring.

Then dinner at Mustards Grill, yummy!

We also went there on our last trip, and loved it, so we wanted to go again.

Sunday morning we drove up to St. Helena and found some goodies at Dean & Deluca.

Then an amazing brunch at Ad Hoc... seriously good food!!!

Did a little tasting at Nicholson Ranch in Sonoma

Then to another favorite from our last trip, Artesa.

We met up with Allyson and Cagdas once again.

We wanted to share the amazing views with them.

We had such a great trip and we are so thankful that Allyson and Cagdas were able to make the trip with us.

We are also so thankful for Ah who watched Emma the entire weekend with help from Papa and Aunt Liz.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

We can't wait to go back!
