When we go to Napa to visit family we like to try and play tourist for a day.
I mean, it is the Napa Valley!
People come from all over the world to taste wine and eat amazing food.
So my parents played tour guide, chauffeur and on-site baby sitter for a day.
We went out to breakfast.
The restaurant had tiny doll (or Alice) sized condiments that kept Alice entertained.
Love this face she is making, she had recently discovered how to wrinkle her nose and was doing this all the time.
Outside the restaurant was a bocce ball court.
"Hey mom, I got the ball!"
Then we went to Chateau Montelena (if you have ever seen the movie Bottle Shock, it's that winery)
We did a wine tasting while my parents took Alice to play outside on the winery grounds.
It's my favorite winery for 2 reasons, 1, it's a beautiful castle! And 2, they have a ton of dessert wines and I love me some dessert wine.
Alice storming the castle.
My parents took Alice, and the camera, while we did the wine tasting.
She was very excited to find a cat. She had been missing our kitties.
Alice had recently discovered her belly button.
Checking out the geese in the moat.
I guess they were stinky :o)
Exploring the vineyards with Nana.
My little monkey climbed up this fence on her own.
Oh and that weird pile of fur/feathers is a sleeping emu.
Then this adorableness happened and I about died.
Alice almost never holds our hand while walking.
After the castle we went to Saint Helena and had a couple of Woodhouse chocolates and then onto Yountville to Bouchon Bakery so I could have one of their amazing macaroons.
We then dropped the boys and Alice off at home and me and my mom had a girls date to the movies.
It was a really fun day.
Skip forward to Christmas Eve.
My mom made an amazing turkey dinner.
And my grandparents, my aunt, my bother, his daughter and her mother Jenna all came over.
After everyone left it was play time with Nana.
