This is what I found under/behind the futon...one of Jack's new favorite places.

Jack and his presents...a new "dog" blanket from dad.

A couple of weeks ago I got treated to a girls' night out with Justin's family. We saw the Rockette's and went to the Cheesecake Factory. It was fun.

I followed this tutorial and made these fabric cupcakes for my niece who turned 2 in November.

I followed this tutorial and made these flower pins.

This is the view from our hotel in Mill Valley. It was nice. Jack and I just hung out in the hotel while Justin visited a client to start on some paintings.

Then we were off to Sacramento to visit Jack's Nana for Thanksgiving. Jack had a ball going up and down the stairs and loved all the toys, blocks and puzzles to play with. He made a mess every day.

When we left for our trip it was colorful...

...and we returned to a winter wonderland.

Highlights of southern California were ...
1.)  I got to see my sister and her family.

2.) I got to attend Justin's art show.

3.) My parents returned home from a great vacation in Jordan, Egypt,  and Israel.

We got to spend Thanksgiving in Sacramento with Justin's mom this year. I failed to take any pictures...but Vicki sent this one of us...our bellies are full.
