Visalia and New Year's Eve











The day after Christmas we went to Visalia.  We had a good time playing with cousins.  Everyone was there except Casey.  Grandma Monte and Grandpa Gene and Grandma Donna were all there.  Ruby had a runny nose when we got there that turned into strep a few days later. But we got her on antibiotics right away and she felt better fast.  Luckily no one else got strep, but lots of people got colds. The sad part was that she was sick on the day everyone went to the snow. She was really sad about that.  She and mom stayed home that day.  We also went to see some Christmas lights in Tulare one night. Ruby was sick that night, so she and Bob had a date there the next night. Grandma Monte and Grandpa Gene and Grandma Zonda and Grandpa Cliff and Danny, Rachel, Bob and Jean went to the Fresno temple to do baptisms one day.  It was really great to be there with all of them.  We ate a Sal's on the way home.  We made several shopping trips.  Did a few puzzles. 

We had a nice New Years Eve.  We played mall madness and watched the ball drop and had sparkling Cider.  Ruby made it to 11:00 and fell asleep, but everyone else made it until midnight.

On New Years Day we drove home so we could have one day left of the break to do our celebration of Kwanzaa.  (I love that tradition.)  The kids worked hard and we got so much done.  We went to see the new Star Wars Movie as a reward.
