Hi family here there and everywhere!
While we were having our customary good time together cutting trees this past Thanksgiving weekend (and musing about if Rachel and Zak would have a tree, where in Arizona Lauren would find a place to cut her own tree - but not doubting her for a moment - and wondering if Courtney would be "traditional" in the Van Vliet way and cut a tree herself or start a different Cooke family tradition - see, we DO talk about you all the time!), we decided to start our OWN Bay Area family blog and let you know, mostly by pictures, what is going on here. That is to say, we hope to make you so jealous of all the fun you are missing that you will get yourselves in gear, hop in the car and come over to see us more often. We miss and love you all! The Bay Area Family
