Sierra's 5th Birthday Party at Maureen's
We flew to San Francisco on August 15th with Dave & Lynette and then drove to San Jose in a rental car. We spent the 1st couple days hanging out at Jeff's aunt and uncle's house (Mike & Maureen). Abbey & I got to meet Jeff's cousin Laurie & her husband Bernhard from Portland. They have 3 childre, Gabby, Emile & Hans. We also spent time with Jeff's other cousin, Debbie and her husband John (they also have 3 kids, Danae, Christina & Scott. Laurie & Debbie are Mike & Maureen's daughters..... and Maureen is Lynette's sister...... The family History so nobody gets confused.
On Saturday we spent the late morning with Jeff's grandmother, Dorothy. She and her caretaker "Vossy" came over for lunch. Abbey often refers to her as "bossy". After lunch and visiting Jeff and I headed to the swap meet where we picked up a few "cool finds", including the giant Hannah Montana Pinata. Later that night we had dinner and celebrated Sierra's 5th birthday. Jeff and I also took a ride around San Jose so he could again show me his old stomping grounds (it seems like I get this tour every time we go there, but it's all good.
Thanks Mike & Maureen for letting us invade your home and making us feel so welcome!! Also we hope Charlie has recoverd from all the srangers. Charlie is Maureen's baby dog- whom is treated better than a baby!!
