California Vacation

We rounded out our Christmas Vacation by heading to the other coast to see the Kenney side and celebrate Christmas, New Years, Birthdays and a Wedding.
We got in a lot of good family time for Gemma and she got to meet her Uncle Owen for the first time!
We celebrated Christmas with a Secret Santa and Gemma helping Santa deliver a few gifts as well.
For Katie's birthday we headed to the Mountains for wine tasting at Testa Rossa.
Gemma was pretty bored by that.
But mom and dad were thrilled. Especially mom because I was able to consume alcohol this time.
Testa Rossa is in a really beautiful old Jesuit Seminary/ Formation House.
The ND game called for stadium seating.
We love to see Gemma cuddled by all her family and it breaks my heart that we can't live closer to family.
Tim and I got to California before the other siblings and we took advantage of the free baby-sitter (grandma) and went to wine tasting/ horse-back riding with John.
The majority of the Kenney extended family was in California for the New Year and it meant Gemma got to meet her Great Grandma Margaret and most of her crew.
Kenney Family Christmas included delicious food, fantastic people, an epic game of White Elephant, and tutus. You can't go wrong.
We were so lucky that Judy was able to stay with us for a few weeks right when I went back to work and even more lucky that Gemma loves and knows and trusts her so much because of that.
We were originally worried how Gemma would do without the swing she was accustomed to sleeping in but she was a champ in her pack-n-play at both locations. It was so good to get to the other coast to see the rest of the family. We also had a sub-trip within the CA trip for a wedding/ to see extended family and I'll blog that in a sec.
