CHRISTMAS DAY

CHRISTMAS EVE

We the spent the afternoon and evening with my family and some good friends. Besides the yummy food the main highlight of the night was playing Bingo! Unfortunately I won a couple times and had to rap (which I totally suck at and I have no idea of whom or what they rap songs and singers are about... I live in a bubble) and I had to do a robotic dance (which I also suck at)! Charles and Ben did a mean moonwalk! The night was fun filled. I am so sad Christmas came and went way too quickly.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

WISHING YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Every Christmas the girls from high school get together for our annual Christmas party. Each year the group has been expanding... with children. It is such a fun time to chit chat and catch up on our lives and see how big the little ones are becoming. This year Lisa hosted at her new home (well we hope it will be her's soon!).

LIVE NATIVITY

This year a group of friends joined us at the Live Nativity in Santa Margarita. It is a wonderful way to bring the spirit of Christmas into your heart. My parents provided a night of fun and food for all of us. I am loving this time of year.

the stockings are hung

by the chimney with care. Three stocking ...Thor, Nic, Timmy.

Shopping for stocking stuffers and receiving stocking goodies is one of my favorite gifts. I love finding little unique treasures to put in stockings and opening all the fun items packed into the stocking. This is my favorite time of year.

our tree

Our Christmas tree all decked out

The tree at Fashion Island

We headed over to Fashion Island to check out the tree and do a little Christmas shopping. The shopping center was pretty empty so we got to get up close and personal with the tree. This year the tree is smaller than usual due to all the construction/renovations taking place but it still looked enormous to us. Thor had a fun time shopping with us.
