Happy New Year with Pictures

Happy New Year!

We were traveling during the Christmas season and so didn't get a chance to send out cards [as if we faithfully do this each year] so here is the visual explanation of our holiday. 

At first we were with Josh's family in Larkspur, Ca. and then we traveled to Monterey again to visit their world class Aquarium. Kids look like something out of the new Star Wars set but in fact they are adorned with a get up 
the Aquarium staff uses to feed the various animals, especially the otters. Great fun.  
Gorgeous octapus
 Mr. G and I sincerely believe that we brought the NW weather to Ca. and a partial end to the drought with our visit. Record rainstorms. However, next day was more like what Californians are used to and we went to a lovely beach in Carmel before our trek back to the city.
 





Christmas day was a hit with the kids and the grown kids. Josh cooked up a storm with a rack of lamb, brussel sprouts with bacon and parmesan and a dessert of apple cobbler. Quite a feast.
 Onward to Zach and Anne's house for our extended celebration in Bothell area. We had a grand time with them and the grands. Such good treatment for two very grateful grandparents.  

Blessings and good wishes to you all for a successful, healthy, happy  2016.
