We hosted the family at our new house his Easter. It was our first Easter as a married couple and a good one. Kids enjoyed the iPad experience too.
Now I’m full of beef, ham, twice baked potatoes, beer, champagne and a whiskey to round off the evening

Happy New Year
A quiet NYE this year. After all the excitement of moving, Christmas and preparing the old place we decided to have a nice dinner @ California Cafe, Los Gatos then come home and toast in the new year in our new home.
Great fun! Great year! Bring on 2010
