We filled up one entire pew at St Ignatius plus a few seats along the aisle.
Sophia’s 5th grade class (she is in the front row, second from left):
Avery’s 2nd grade class (he is in the front row, center, his face partially hidden by a cellphone):
This little girl kept escaping to run down the aisle until her mom found an effective strategy.

Retired teachers’ luncheon
The people who attend are all retired from Rio Linda Union School District (or Twin Rivers USD if it was after 2003). The group is definitely shrinking as we all keep getting older.

Avery and Charlie
Sophia is the best puppy caretaker, but after a couple of hours, she insisted it was Avery’s turn. Avery’s preferred arrangement for playing with Charlie:
That didn’t last long, however. He decided he needed to do his homework – where Charlie couldn’t bother him.
Dinner at Adrienne’s
Ade had a few friends over for dinner tonight.

Sports Saturday
Go #3! St Ignatius won their first game in today’s tournament.
During the break between games, Carson went to gymnastics.
In the afternoon, the girls from St John’s the Evangelist won the tournament.
Walnut delivery
Romona Willits used to go to Calvary Lutheran Church but recently moved to Placerville to be closer to family. Today she drove down with her daughter Carol to go to an event at Heritage Park, a perfect opportunity to give her some walnuts.
Dinner with friends
Jim & Nicki Williams and Lucy & Jim Reed at Taqueria Zapotlanejo in Rio Linda for dinner this evening.
Christmas party #2
After the SABA party, I went to another one. Across the street from my house, at Kirk and Holly Talon’s.

The decorations are over the top. It takes Chris all of November to decorate their house. His collections move around each year so it feels like you’re always seeing something new.

SABA Christmas party
SABA = Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates. Last year I was in charge of three after-school bike clubs at schools in West Sacramento and I’ve volunteered for their bike valet service a time or two – all sponsored by SABA. Bike Dog Brewing Co was the perfect place for a get-together.
A collection of Mixtes hang from the ceiling.
