Aquarium of the Pacific in December

I won a couple of sets of tickets to Aquarium of the Pacific, so we went to their holiday celebration.  We also were able to invite some friends to come along with us.



We saw some feedings.



This moray eel is so creepy!



My favorite—penguins!



When our friends came, the kids became braver about touching the animals.



Well, maybe not that brave.  Look at the disgust!



Our trip was cut somewhat short because one kid in each family was not feeling well. 



We did make a quick stop to slide down the small snow hill before leaving, though!

D is in the Mazda Drive For Good® Event 2015 Commercial!

D went to Memphis to shoot this commercial.  You can only see him for about a second, but he's the Asian American guy in the car, playing a salesman--haha.  We have yet to see this commercial on television, but plenty of other people have told us they saw it. 

Thanksgiving in Napa

We had dinner the night before Thanksgiving at a neighborhood Italian restaurant called Il Posto.  Note to self: the kid’s cheese pizza is the same size the adult pizza.  Also, the meat pizza has tons of meat!



The leaves actually change color in Napa!  How lovely.



We ate Thanksgiving lunch with D’s family at Embassy Suites in Napa.



They were already ready for Christmas!



The kids had fun playing with their cousin S.  Good times.
