Turkey In Cali




I always love going to California for a vacation or holiday.  It is always so much fun.  My brothers Brent and Brad always make sure we have nothing short of a fun, interesting, and sometimes even shocking good time.  When we come down, all of their friends they've had since high school make it a point to come see and hang out with us. They even call my mom "mom." Mike Pulley comes over and makes us shrimp tacos, and we always have to visit Victoria Gardens(which is the coolest mall ever), not to mention "The Hat" which has the best pastrami sandwiches. We also try and visit at least one of our many friends we have down in Cali.  One of my best friends from high school Stef and her family drove down to visit us.  It is always good catching up with her.  Since everyone has kids around the same age, they all get together and play.  They consider themselves all cousins.  It also is pretty much a tradition for everyone to get together for a good game of poker, mostly the guys, and the girls sit and chat.  Briaunna would have come with us but she had so much homework to do.  We missed her!

All in all, Thanksgiving was a great success!  I am very thankful for family and friends!  We love you all and look forward to next time!
