Picnic in December!

There are times when I wish we lived in the midwest... we could enjoy the seasons, buy a larger house, and frolic in the snow. Other times I wish we were in Northern California... cooler temps, and closer to grandma and grandpa. However, most of the time I am so content right where we are. If we want snow, we can drive to the mountains. We do have fall.. it just comes a little later than in the midwest! Grandma and grandpa visit often. And, frankly a bigger house just means more to clean! Besides... who can beat a sunny, gorgeous, 57- degree picnic in December?
