Thanksgiving 2009

We spent Thanksgiving this year with our family in Palm Desert, CA. Bob Bob hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch at the Chaparral Country Club. We were happy to have our friend Raj visiting us and joining in our family festivites along with Peggy & Cameron and Uncle Bob & Aunt Alice.
The guys (Matt, Cameron & Raj) played football before lunch. I am happy to report no injuries or grass stains. Team Raj won!

Raj's Visit to Cali

Our friend Raj came out for a visit.
We started the week's activity by playing a little putt-putt golf.


We couldn't resist stepping into the photo booth for some goofy pictures! A lot more goofy pictures from our crazy Raj week coming soon...

Kristen & Charley's Wedding Weekend - Ladies Luncheon

I was honored to be invited to Kristen's Bridesmaids Luncheon held at her sister Kelly's house and hosted by a wonderful family friend Katherine.
Everything was decorated beautifully and the food was wonderful!

Kristen & Charley's Wedding Weekend - Rehearsal Dinner

Matt's parents hosted a wonderful rehearsal dinner in honor of Kristen and Charley.

It was held at the Horse & Hound Gastropub in Charlottesville, VA. It was a perfect evening to catch up with family and friends. We enjoyed fabulous food including a special fish and chips appetizer. I had a traditional southern dinner, shrimp and grits--which as surprising wonderful as well.

Notice the ornamental cabbage centerpieces that PJ and I decorated the night before!

Farmington Country Club

Kristen & Charley's wedding was beautiful!

I can't think of a more perfect and picturesque place for a wedding and reception than Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The ceremony was held in the Main Dining Room, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were served on the outdoor Terrace, the reception was in the beautiful Ballroom and the bouquet toss and candy bar were in the Jefferson Room.

We took over a great part of the country club Saturday evening and were very fortunate to have a wonderful breakfast and photo opportunity there Sunday morning.

Mr. & Mrs. Miller!

Last Wednesday night Matt and I took a red-eye from LAX to Washington Dulles.
It was a rough flight but we were happy to be in Northern Virginia for a day before the wedding weekend.

On Friday PJ and I headed down to Charlottesville for a Ladies Luncheon and Saturday was the Big Day! I have so many pictures to share but thought that I would start with the most important ones!!

Congratulations Kristen & Charley!
