Thanksgiving for us was spread over the entire weekend and jam packed. Thursday Joe worked so I took the boys over to Auntie Renee & Uncle Rick's house for a wonderful dinner where 3 little boys playing hide & seek managed to shatter a shower door. Friday morning we met Joe in San Mateo where he and most of the cousins played football and then we headed back to Rick & Renee's for leftovers and then back home to cook for my family at our house. My brother and nephew were in town so it was great to see them. Saturday was more relaxed with only family pictures (30 of us) at the Hyatt in Burlingame. Sunday was my 30th birthday and we went and got our Christmas tree, I went shopping with my mom and then my parents took us all out to dinner for my annual Lobster dinner at Horatio's. It was a wonderful weekend.

Joe surprised me with an early birthday present last night. A limo, dinner in Sausalito, drinks in the city and our closest family and friends. It was a special night to celebrate my "20's" instead of dwelling on the fact that I'm going to be 30 in a week. I have to say he's getting more romantic all the time. I love you babe.

Andrew's party went great. It was fun seeing all the little ones dressed up (including some adults). We got a face painter for an hour and that was fun.We signed Aiden up for basketball and he loved it. He's gotten much better at dribbling and knows how to jump stop, where the base line is and how to make a "bank shot." He was probably one of the slowest, as he wants to do everything right, but first to do what the coach says.
The boys enjoyed their first Tri-Tip sandwich last night so I had to take a picture. It's hard to get Aiden to try anything new, unless it's meat. He likes it all.
