Hope everyone had a lovely and Merry Christmas! It was a busy time for us, as usual. We had to work the pharmacy alone, just the two of us, as our clerk was on maternity leave, so we were very busy as we prepared for the pharmacy closure between Christmas and New Year's Day.We had a nice quiet Christmas at home, then the next day we drove off to visit family and friends. Cousin Broderick invited us to dinner for the 26th, so we drove all day to get to Fremont. In addition to Broderick and Virginia, and their kids Stephanie and Eric, we got to visit with cousin Yvonne and her husband Werner. It had been a number of years since we had seen each other, so it was a very enjoyable visit.
Next day we traveled further down the road to see my sister, Elena and her son Joshua. Oh, and also, we got to see Saphire the Great Dane! She really likes Michael! 
I didn't take pictures of the two cats, as they were rather shy and I didn't want to blast them with a flash picture! LOL We had a great visit with everyone, but we didn't get to drop by and see the Aunties in King City: they had traveled north!
We got to visit with Michael's brother, Tristan and his daughterKim and all of her kids. Our nieces and nephews are all in college now! I got to get together for a lunch with my childhood girlfriends--always a good thing!
Before our Christmas break, we were able to get up to Medford to see granddaughter Kaydie and her family. Lots of fun seeing the excited little ones! 
Pictured here with us, Lathrop, Keyari, Carmen, Junior and Kaydie.
We spent a relaxing and quiet New Year's Eve at home and had our friend, Sonny, over for New Year's Day dinner. It was a great Christmas season and a good beginning to the new year, which I have vowed to call "Twenty-Ten".
I hope Twenty Ten brings you good health, good wealth, every happiness, and love and laughs. Happy New Year!
