Thanksgiving in San Diego

Before we left, it got quite chilly and snowed again.  Rachel and I managed to get outside in the snow and make a snowman before work/daycare on Thurs morning.  We made forts all weekend while Jason went to Phoenix Fri, Sat, Sun.  Actually an amazing angel of a lady that we've met (a parent of one of Jason's student athletes) came over twice to watch the kids so I could run and get some Christmas shopping done.

Jason came home late Sunday night and then Monday we turned around and went to the airport in the morning.  The girls did really well flying, even when we suddenly pulled up from our landing because there was a small airplane with a flat tire blocking the runway and we had to land temporarily in Ontario, CA.  We were excited to get to Aunt Karen's house Monday afternoon and see her and Grandma.  Then we hit the beach, and Rachel was thrilled.

She jumped right in the water despite it being chilly, and her awesome Dad played with her.  She wanted to go to the ocean every day we were there.  We also fit in a day at the zoo, and an awesome thanksgiving dinner with extended family (Brett Butler, Dan/Jeannie/Madison Oliver).  Jason and I got to sleep in a little more than normal and got in a few runs, thanks to Grandma's babysitting services.

We had a great visit and are thankful to Karen and her roommate for letting us take over, despite the fact that they had to move house the day we left.
