Tis the season

My favorite part about the holidays is spending time with family! I moved back home to be closer to my immediate family but when I left Utah I left all my aunts and uncles :( My grandparents and gang from my mom's side of the family decided to go on a cruise for Christmas and luckily left out of San Diego. My sister, her kids, mom and I drove down on Monday to say hi and hang out for a day.

Here is my grandpa and I after lunch at El Torito. I love this picture because he doesn't smile for just anyone! Yeah that's right, I'm the favorite :)



After lunch we just went back to their hotel and hung out. Ashleigh's kids love playing with my cousin Chad. It makes me sad that they don't have any cousins close by...sorry Ash but I'm not helping out with that one! Here are the cousins under 21:

Kaleigh, Tyler, Corey, Chad, Ryan, and Nathan (front)


The adults wanted to play also!

White Christmas

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas"...or not! The last couple days it's been 80 degrees down here in So Cal! It's crazy to walk outside a week before Christmas and have it be this warm! Have no fear, I've put this warm weather to good use. Davey Havoc make a surprise visit to town and I was lucky enough to be on his list of people to hang out :) I met up with Dave and Sean and took them out to lunch with this as our view...


...this is why I love where I live!!!

Then we ventured down to CDM to walk along the beach and look at the multi-million dollar houses. It was so nice to chill with some of the great friends I made while living in Salt Lake. Oh how I miss those days of the MBBC! Thanks for the visit boys :)
