Santa was great to us in California as we joined together for the holidays. Celebrations galore!!!! Starting with celebration at Adam and Rachel's, than at Matt and Shannon's and finally at Pat and Gerry's.

Second event....WOW Pat's birthday. I had envisioned waking up the morning after turning 65 with no teeth, many wrinkles, white hair and a cain:) and asking myself just what I had accomplished in this life. Well, after being surprised at the Bel Air Hotel including Brian as well as personalized menu and a 65 count of memories from each of my children there was no doubt that the world is a better place because of all of you and my life has been pretty full. It was nice there were only good memories!!!! Brian even left out that I am the reason he never has played major league baseball and I am sure each of you could add some pretty impressive stories. After this we celebrated New Years eve on the Marina Del Ray cruise ending with Fireworks. All in all 2007 was a very good year.

I have enjoyed all the new family members, art work, photos, new houses, creative adventures, wedding info, engagement announcements as well as interesting items from Claire and Riley and vacations. A Photo contest sounds fun as it is evident talent abounds.

We are visiting at Brian's this weekend and I have been threatened with the big BAN......so with new computer in hand I have blogged.
