This year, we've been stretching Thanksgiving out a bit. Last weekend we did the big dinner here at our house with my little brother Joey, gf Anamique (or Mimi as Vaughn says) and some friends. I made a turkey meatloaf and Juli did the rest of the trimmings. Then on the real turkey day we ventured down to San Diego to Juli's cousins and had an awesome family gathering with her extended cousins, aunt and uncle... I did a lot of guessing as to exactly how everyone is related, and Juli kept having to correct me. It was great to be around all the family and we had a nice day. Then yesterday we went to the Brough's where they were celebrating a day late! They did the entire dinner spread and we made one of Juli's pumpkin cheesecakes... mmmmm! Vaughn and Lola played for hours, while the little babies, Penny and Lila pretended to play, and the adults drank themselves silly. It was a good night and we ended up swimming in the pool and spa and Vaughn is so tired that he's been sleeping for 12 hours.... All three thanksgivings were great! We have a lot to be thankful for!
Of course, we didn't take many pics... Robbie and Marcella spent the night with us Wednesday and went to her family's house on Thanksgiving, but they did take this pic before they left, so this counts:
And here is Juli and Uncle Mark when we were on our way home after dinner... They are sailing south into Mexico this weekend for the next 6 months! Lucky!

Family time!
We've been having a lot of family time lately... Juli's aunt and uncle have been hanging around and helping with the kids on their way south. Last weekend they headed more south, and left Newport for San Diego. Juli and her dad sailed with them to Dana Point while I was on babysitting duties. They'll be in SD for another couple weeks and then down to Mexico. Here's our last family pic on the steps of their family "beach house" in Balboa. We'll miss you guys!

HalloWEEN pics!
Went spent Halloween down in Balboa with Mark and Vicki and went sailing on the boat with Anamique's parents. Afterwards, we carved pumpkins, drank mimosas, and went trick or treating... maybe not in that order. It was a good Halloween, and Vaughn even wore the monkey suit and went door to door getting treats. Lila was the hot dog and I was Spamalot - or something. That's what you get with last minute costumes.
