Early Christmas

So we recently got home from our early Christmas in Irvine. I put Brooke in charge of photography, hence I have about 100 photos just from opening presents. Anyway, here were my favorites. Photos of note are: Taylor opening his coat in a Victoria's Secret box, Heather and Brooke being "Super Kawaii" (a quote from Harajuku Girls by Gwen Stefani), dads reaction to his Stanford tree club cover, Taylor biting into his super sized gummy bear, and Heather in her Snuggie. We wish you all a Merry Christmas!!!

A Stanford Thanksgiving

Well, now that is almost Christmas I am finally posting our Thanksgiving photos. We stayed in Stanford this year since I had to work the day before and after Thanksgiving.That being said I got SUPER domestic and ordered our entire Thanksgiving dinner from Marie Calendars! (and I have to say, it was SO good that I am tempted to never make my own again!) Mark and Ann flew in Thanksgiving day and spent the weekend with us. As usual it was WONDERFUL to have my in laws visit since they buy food, clean, take us out to eat, and took us Christmas shopping while they were here.

Ann always insists that we pose for her photographs. They normally end up looking something like this since we like to annoy her!


This is Taylor's favorite "artistic structure" on campus


Mark and Ann visiting the Cactus Garden


We drove to Half Moon Bay post turkey and walked around the coast


It feels so funny to me wearing a coat to the beach


The handsome dudes at the Monterey aquarium


Here we have several photos of Ann trying to get into the freezing cold water






This photo is typical Bowen Boy material. Here we have Taylor and Mark mocking the Unstable cliffs warning.
