Thanksgiving at Home - November 25
Kibbles and... turkey?  Being thankful even though Syd was at the
ER vet. Taking months but she's healthier and able to sleep now.

Pez and Matt's Wedding at Monterey Bay, CA - December 17-19
Dec 18 - Pez and Matt's wedding and reception at the
Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley.  Katie, Aaron, Mariella,
Uncle Lou, the Italian cousins, Tina, and Brian all wait
expectantly for the ceremony to start (top, left). Justin is
prepping for his Honor Guard duties (bottom, left). The lovely
bridal family of Scott and Aunt Kathie, Uncle Snout and Pez
(middle) walking in.  The new Mr and Mrs Matt and Pez (right).  
The reception was wonderful afterward - and EVERYONE
danced up a storm!  It was the perfect reunion.
Dec 17 - arrived in San Francisco, went to Golden Gate Bridge (top left), drove along the
SoCal coast to Monterey, stayed at Seven Gables Inn, and went to Rehearsal Dinner.
Dec 18 - toured the Monterey Coast including Lovers Point with seals sunning themselves
(bottom, middle), Pinos Pointe Lighthouse (bottom left), and the Carmel Mission Basilica
(top, middle/right).
Christmas at Home and New Years Eve in Denver
January 1, 2011 - We had a blast ringing
in the New Year at midnight in Denver
with friends and fireworks.  Just before the
stroke of midnight, we were out in the
subzero temps living it up with good
friends Ryan and Lindsey (they're getting
married this year!).  The fireworks soon
went off and Ryan took this amazing shot,
one for the memory books.  Can't wait to
see what this year will hold!
Dec 25 - Merry Christmas!  Here's a
couple shots of some of the
wonderful items we were so happy to
find after our now traditional game
day present celebration.  Nico's
become the super-snuggler of the
family.
Dec 24 - We continued our tradition of taking a
post-candlelight service Christmas Eve walk with
the three pups.  Justin has become very good at
balancing the camera on the fire hydrant across
the street for this tradition picture.  Returning home,
we had a fondue dinner while Justin lit the German
rotating nativity scene.  
Refinishing the Floors in February
Mid-February - We couldn't
take our well-tread-by-
giant-dogs carpet any longer
and replaced all the carpet
and flooring in our home with
pet-friendly Pergo flooring.  
These are four pictures of the
transformation.
