This year's gingerbread house

SV and MV got to work together on the gingerbread house this year. KT helped with the proceedings as well, especially making the sugar cement. It was a good activity for everyone and ended with good results. SV was very proud with the finished product.

SV's 5th birthday party

SV's 5th birthday was the first time she celebrated it in California. She was lucky because so many family and friends could attend. She and MV both enjoyed themselves and including playing with each other.Thank you to everyone who came and made SV's day special.

Around Sacto

Sac-a-tomatoes is a hell of a town, there's ice cream to the north, pancakes to the south and family all around.

Exploring yet another park

This was a really fun park day because Papi, Babicka and Uncle Richie all came along. Uncle Richie and SV climbed trees and pretended to be sleeping cheetahs. MV also did quite a bit of exploring. So much so that she fell asleep in the swing. She didn't stay asleep that too long though, and came out running like a little courier.

Fun at the business

Papi and the girls visited Babicka's yard. SV got to have some fun with the heavy machinery, while MV was happy to play with the dogs and Papi. MV really enjoyed his company, they share a passion for chocolate and water.
