KellyBelly has a birthday!
It’s hard having a birthday right around Christmas – it gets swallowed up in the holiday so we always make sure that Kelly’s is a special occasion. This year it’s developed into a several day celebration!!
Friday night we went out to dinner with Dave’s side of the family and some friends to Chicago Fire in Folsom, California. After pizza and birthday dessert we went to her house to relax, and spend some time together. The first pic is crossing the bridge into Folsom at sunset.
Saturday afternoon we went out to the movies. Kerri, Lindsay,Brian and I went to see new National Treasure then we met up with Dave, Kelly and his family to see I Am Legend. Talk about edge of your seat!!! Both were good movies but very different.
After the movie, we all went off to dinner at Crush 29, with Kelly thinking we had other plans. But it was all a ploy – we came in as they had all sat down for dinner and surprised her. The highlight was that white coconut cake! We picked it up at a bakery and brought it in and they kindly put candles in it and served it to us. Since Kelly used to work there they gave us quite the service!!! What a night! Its non stop from here out till the 27th kids! Hope you are finding time to enjoy one another.
The Fam
Front Row left to right:
Brian(our son), Kayla (Dave’s sister), Kelly, Dave, Alyssa (Dave’s other sister)
Back Row:Connie (Dave’s Dad’s girlfriend), David (Dave’s dad),Vince (Dave’s brother), Marcello and Lisa (Lisa is Dave’s aunt) and last but not least is Nonnie. Dave’s grandmother.
Tomorrow morning we’ll be putting the finishing touches on our presents and getting the house ready for Morning Christmas here at our house, Christmas Afternoon at my brother’s house, then Christmas evening at Lisa and Marcello’s.
Cant wait for Christmas Morning - to see Jayden’s face it is his first!!
Tomorrow we’ll be going to Christmas Service in the evening.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
Love, The Lydells
