Happy Thanksgiving Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Holidays,they come too slow and in a blink of an eye,they are over.We had a great holiday this year starting with Thanksgiving.Katie and family came down to Ventura and Dan and his boys came down too.We all met at Gary and Martha's to visit.We all had Thanksgiving dinner at Mimi's.They do a great job of putting out a very delicious traditional turkey dinner.
For Christmas,Jeni and I headed to Sacramento to see Jackie Dustin and DJ.Also Kate,Billy,Alyx Waylan,and Cody We spent Christmas eve with Katie and family,and Christmas day With Jackie and crew...In their new house which was assume.We had a great time.
For New years I had the 11pm-7am shift at the resort which was unusually quiet.No trouble.
On to 2014,a new year.new resolutions,new adventures,and new states to see,WOOHOO! 
DJ got a new Quad from Santa for Christmas.Jackie got one too.Dustin is going to take them to the "off road park on Sunday to try them out.
 Look what Waylan got for Christmas,a big truck.He also got a drum set and a tool bench.He is the "Apple of his sister Alyx's eye"Christmas eve was very special to us.Katie did a great job.
My brother Larry came down to Ventura right before Thanksgiving to go to the ASU game at the Rose Bowl with Gary,Martha,Jeni,and I.We did get him down to the beach for a photo op.
Jeni and I attended the Tree lighting ceremony in downtown Ventura.They had carolers,dancing,and hot chocolate.The tree was a sight as it was right next to an old mission.What a sight.
Here's the family at Gary and Martha's right before we headed out to Mimi's for turkey dinner.Jeni wasn't in the picture because she was taking the picture.
Christmas eve with Katie's family.Philly's not in the picture because he is taking the picture.
Christmas eve at Katies we are opening our presents(I was taking the picture)
Its a new year and we are still hangin at the beach "Dude." Our new years resolution is to get bodies like this....YEA RIGHT! That's not going to happen.We love to eat and exercising....FORGET ABOUT IT!
Its November and in a blink of an eye its January.Time flies when your having fun and fun is what we had.Spending time with all our family and enjoying all of our Grand kids.
Its a new year and we have big plans for 2014.We have been planning for our big trip to Yellowstone and beyond this summer.Were trying to save for gas money but the "Ole"RV has had other ideas.First the fridge went on the blink just after we finished at Yosemite Pines Resort.Then the "Ole"Throne(toilet) gave it up.While we were here at Ventura Resort our Microwave/convection oven went kaput.Well you get the idea but hopefully we can get back on track this month.
I kinda like the security gig I'm doing here at the resort.Something different for a change.And the best part is the beach is only 5 minutes away.We spend all our off time at the beach and at my favorite place on the beach "Beach house tacos".Yummy!
Well "Ole Barney Fife" has to make his rounds around Mayberry So Happy Thanksgiving Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
