New Years Round #2

Every New Years my family has a crab feast, every one was gone so New Years came a little late for the Adamska, Campbell, Lichty clans this year.

When we exited the freeway for my parents house we saw this sign in the near distance and for a brief second we thought that my parents (it wouldn't surprise me) had made a sign advertising our New Years crab feed, well that was until we saw the name Bob.....and the words: cocktails, wine, the phone numbers...pretty much everything except the words CRAB FEED!

Sweet anticipation

Dad ordered some special bread for our special celebration

even for the ninos

And the star of the show!!!! Platters and platters of this!

Face of a satisfied customer!

Happy New Years...again!

New Years in Utah

Give me everything in excess!!!!!.... food, sleep, movies, fun...perfect description of said trip!

Of course we chased it all down with a few trips to the temple.

Ooh La La!

Jon trying to scale the walls of Temple Square... 10 steps to your left, make a right and your in!

Walking back to the car...thud!..."what was that?" Turn around to see jon had lost the battle with a patch of ice. Surprisingly the only fall of the trip.

Ice ice ice, something we aren't to familiar with in Sacramento. These cycles were like daggers...notice the one heading straight for Aimee's head! I guess I wasn't a very good friend..."ya Aimee thats great...a little to the left, a few feet up, yup thats a great picture, now hold it!"

Loved this wood furniture store in Park City...does the boss to to the right come with!?!

We saw lots and lots of wildlife while we were in Utah...a cow...

Moose...

And bears!

The best find of all...dun dun dun...we were walking around FREEZING our butts off, that is until Jon found a heated bench...yes a HEATED bench. Boooyah! It wasn't a large bench and as you can see we are all fighting for every inch! AMAZING!!

Have you ever seen a grown man sleeping straight up with his legs crossed? Well now you have.

My favorite present to each other: The Yearly Christmas Talent Show

Reno or Bust

Last weekend we drove up to Reno to watch our sister in-law Jen Campbell walk at her graduation!

Ben catching a little Zzzzzz's before the ceremony began.

The after party at Boomerang Pizza

Jen: What kind of pizza did you order?

Spencer: Uhhh...combination and Chuck's special

Jen: Its my party and you got me crap i don't like!!!

Jen's not a big fan of Mushrooms or olives (note to self).

One of those had to be there hilarious moments!!!

On our way back to California we stopped by Sheel's an outdoor sporting store on crack!! They had an indoor Ferris Wheel, yes people a Ferris Wheel inside the store!! Of course we took a ride!

Didn't think i was very scared of heights until the first go around.

I love the taxidermy and the taxidermy loves me.

Great trip, loved seeing the fam...Congrats Jen!!!!

Christmas Comes Early in Placerville

We piled the troops in the car and headed to Placerville to meet the Seeds for dinner and a stroll through the freshly festivated (ya i know, not a real word...but it sounds pretty) downtown.

Ahh Momma K and son, so sweet!

The Morti's

We even found Santa...he's a little early this year

Next up...diggin for gold in the old mine shaft nestled away in the local coffee shop
