This past weekend we had dear friends, Susan and Billy, visit for a couple of days. We did a couple of enjoyable things but mostly just visited and caught up on our families. One of the things that we did do was visit the Lucero Olive Oil Company Wow, loved the tour, the tasting, and the shopping! The other adventure was to visit the grand kids. Susan and I picked them up and had a picnic and play time at a great park in their city.

Lots of fun and exercise that day.
Our immediate family has lots of January birthdays and our extended family has several too. This year Papa Norm's sister, Dode, planned a January birthday extravaganza. It was yesterday and what a wonderful time we all had. The food was delicious, the weather was great, and Dode went to lots of work to make it special. The best part was having cousins from Chicago and San Diego there as well, so it was really a great reunion for first cousins as well as their offspring.
Three beauties, Becky, Suzie, and Lisa....
Becky and Gabe, all the way from Chicago..
The bounce house...what a hit with the kiddos....
Trying to get a picture of all the little ones....what a hoot and nearly impossible!
The take home goodie bags helped in getting the little ones in one place and sitting down.
What great memories were made! Thanks to Dode and Rog for throwing such a wonderful party!
This week Christopher has a birthday on Tuesday and Chloe and Claire on Thursday. Can't believe they are turning 4 years old and 7 years old. The time is flying by!
