Nancy's Birthday is February 5th.  We had two small events for her, one at her mother's house on the 10th and one in Pleasanton on the 11th.

Nancy and Box One
Christmas?  No, Nancy's mother got Nancy a bunch of Christmas decorations for her birthday, including a couple of reindeer.

More Christmas
It looks like Christmas servings for six!  But wait, it is six in silver and six in gold.

More Reindeer
Plus a sleigh for them to pull, a snowman, and all sorts of Christmas decorations.

Big Box
This rowboat sized Rubbermaid container is full of Christmas stuff as well.  I won't go into its contents.  Somebody scored big with an after-Christmas sale.

Todd comes alive
Todd shows his reaction to all the Christmas stuff.

Pleasanton
The next day, to get away from Christmas, we had brunch with my aunt Mary and my cousin Catherine in Pleasanton.

Pleasanton Hotel
We had brunch at the Pleasanton Hotel, which is on Main Street in Pleasanton.

Birthday Girls
Catherine's birthday is the day after Nancy's, so brunch was in honor of the both of them.
