Today we all bundled up (leaving Lark in her purple jammies) and went over to Grammy and Opa Paul's house (stopping to get Randy a haircut) for lunch with my step-sister and her hubby and sons who came down from NorCal. Laura (step-sister) is in training to be a nurse, and hubby Bruce is a snowplow driver, and they have two cute (but hyper and mildly destructive) boys: Logan 15 months, and Dominic 5 years. Lark didn't know what to make of them racing around the house pell-mell. The daddies took the kids out to the park while the mamas and aunties helped Grammy set up the lunch. After lunch, Grammy and Opa Paul brought down a bunch of wrapped gifts and we did a GiftSteal game together. Later, Grammy, Auntie Kelsey, Mama, and Lark went out to Rancho Los Alamitos to see the farms, barns, gardens, and adobe house of the Bixby Family in Long Beach, all decorated and beautiful. Lark was pretty tired after such a big day, so we came home after that, and she took a nap while Momma and Daddy arranged for Carrie and Lawrence to come over and have dinner and watch Arrested Development.
This weekend was a big weekend for Lark also. She was such a good girl! Momma and Daddy had friends over on Friday night and Saturday all day long. On Friday Thomas, Jessica/Graham/Garret, and Vanessa/James/Abbey came over and had Greek food and played Lifeboats and Wise or Otherwise. We LOVE our geeky family friends! We also adore our geekboy friends. Saturday we had Jonathan over at 10-2, Matt (new trial-friend) over from 12-10, and Carrie over from 2-7. We played 7th Sea with Jonathan, then Carcassonne with Jon and Matt, then made cookies with Carrie and Matt, then played LOTR with Carrie and Matt, then introduced AD to Matt (since we were burnt out on games, but didn't feel like calling it a night just yet.
Such fun times!
