Last night with the family.

The night before we left (New Year's), we all went out and had dinner at a very authentic italian ristorante in Little Italy called Filippi's. Mom raves about their HUGE meatballs! :) She's SO funny! It's super cute and people wait in line FOREVER just to get a seat sometimes! And you can buy bottles of wine and sign them and they'll hang them on their ceiling! Awesome night!

Visit with our Raymond relatives.

Gary's brother, Danny, and his wife, Carrie, live in Temecula, California. He's stationed at Camp Pendleton and we decided to drive up and visit them while we were out at Mom's. Their twins, Luci and Eli, are the cutest albeit a little shy. :) Luci warmed up really quickly, but we were lucky to Eli to give us hugs and kisses by the end of the evening. Here are a few shots ... I had more, but for some reason they didn't import from my camera.

Sweet Luci.

Eli and 'Daddy's Tractor'.

The two of them.

Colvin playing with Eli's tractor. Choo choo!

Cole likes Eli's pop gun.

San Diego International Auto Show

The girls got to go to tea time so the boys went out and had some fun too! They got to go to the San Diego International Auto Show! Here's a slide show of some of Gary's favorite exhibits, but this photo is my fave - Gary's new wheels! Ha, ha!

Tea Time

Mom and Alyson found this quaint little tea room in La Mesa and it is the most magical place I've ever seen! If you are looking for a wonderful tea experience, you simply must visit the Aubrey Rose Tea Room. Here are some pictures from our afternoon....
