Christmas decorating

Christmas is here and Susannah has been busy decorating the house. This evening we picked up our tree and it is now all decorated ready for the gifts to be put under it.

Marc's Birthday Gift

My 11th annual 21st Birthday was last week so we had birthday activities here in the Nelson household. With our friends we went out to Jillians and played pool, video games, and shook our groove thang. The next day we went to Susannah's folks house for dinner and presents. Susannah was so excited that she FINALLY had kept a secret and was going to surprise me with my gift. Not only did she keep a secret, but she organized the whole surprise in asking everyone to help out to make it one great family gift. All I will say is I WAS SURPRISED!! It was a 32 inch flat screen tv which is now in our living room. ALL I had to do was take down the old armoire, build a new one from IKEA and then hook up the tv. Literally three hours later here are the results.

There were 3 Candy Stores in Old Town Sacramento and yes we went in them all. My favorite picture is that of Susannah holding a ticket below allowing her 1 free piece of candy. Of course I gave her my ticket, because we all know she can't eat just one.

Here are some more candy pics

I love these pictures Susannah will kill me, but ohh well.

We went down to Sacramento for the wedding of my buddy since I was 1 or 2 David. He had his wedding in Shingle Springs at a winery. Earlier in the day we spent our time cruising around Old Town Sacramento . The next day we spent our morning going to the capital and K Street mall. All in all we enjoyed the weekend and the 80 degree weather.
