Thanksgiving at Ma & Pa Lap's

Our family switches off Thanksgiving and Christmas between Texas and California. This year Thanksgiving was with the Lapachets. We had so much fun seeing family and friends. We spent Christmas Day at my Aunt and Uncles in Elk Grove and the following day with my mom's side at our house. What this equates to is two awesome and huge meals back to back plus left overs so lots of eating.

Kendall had the best time playing with Uncle Jon and Aunt Lou, dancing with Pa Lap and snuggling with Ma Lap..oh and I can't forget the star of the show Jon's beloved dog Mac who Kendall can't stop talking about. It's always so great to see my girlfriends and their kiddos and catch up on what's new in Livable Lovable Lodi!

I didn't get any photos from Thanksgiving on my camera so below are pictures from a trip to the mall. Kendall's ride in the Mickey Mouse car, pictures from the park where we visited often. I tried several times to upload two videos but I couldn't get them to post.

When the Baby Hog is away the Grandma will Play

Grandma and Kendall got some much needed girl time this past Saturday. Grandpa Lap "aka the Baby Hog" went golfing with his buddies while Grandma, Kendall, Great Grandma and I hug out. Kendall sure does love her Grandpa; they have a special little bond, but she and Grandma have special things they do together too. Grandma sings to K and rocks her to sleep...Grandpa's can't do it the way Grandma's do. Plus Grandma knows all these great songs and games from working with her kids at Bible Study Fellowship which Kendall really likes to hear. We also went to Mandie Whitacker-Bayless' baby shower on Saturday to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Baby Lillian "Lillie". K wore her party dress, it was a party after all!
