Christmas and New Year's

We started the festivities with breakfast with Travis' family.

Then we went to my sister's house and played games and got Cooties.
On Christmas morning we enjoyed Brett opening up his gifts. He is becoming more and more excited to open gifts as he gets older and older.

After the presents we shared in some leisurely moments where we played and relaxed.

For New Year's we took a road trip to Tahoe for spa treatments, skiing and silliness.

Christmas Photos

Travis picked out a beautiful tree.


Biking to the Manhattan Beach fireworks.

At Santa Clarita with my nephew, Brett.

Mom and dad enjoying larger than life candy canes.

All us girls crammed in the back seat to see the Torrance Christmas lights as we nibbled on some cookies. Jami sat in our trunk.

Christmas at Disneyland cannot be missed,

Even at night.



Everywhere you go, there are tall Christmas trees at Dland.

Our Halloween Weekend

Okay this one has many options: 1: Disneyland geeks. 2. Micky Mouse Club cast members (Justin and Britney) 3. Micky and Minnie Mouse. The best part is that it was free and easy.

On Sunday night we had a gender revealing party for my new... niece. The flavor of cake revealed all.
Getting excited for a baby girl.

I dressed as a literary character for school on Halloween. If you are unfamiliar with The Help I am Skeeter.

Labor Day Bike Ride 2011

Here we are at mile zero ready to ride from PV to the other side of Santa Monica.

The end of the strand at 22.1 miles. We were all sore from the ride .

Fun August Events

Staci and I at a Skinny Cow event.

A fun bike ride to Marina del Rey with great friends, great food and great live music.

We took Travis' mom to see Elvis. He's alive and well and performs at parks during the summer. By the way that's not Travis' mom in the picture. She doesn't look that old.

Mama Mia in Hollywood. Coincidentally, the Rounds Burger advertised on the screen behind us, was phenomenal.

Concert in the park with Josh listening to an 80s tribute band. Go figure,-they paid only .25 for their ice cream sandwich.

Sprinkles Cupcakes in Alexandria.
Water Taxi to Gaylord Hotel.

At Mount Vernon.
DC Cupcakes.
Behind Pesky's Pole at the Red Sox Game.
Our tour guide on the freedom trail.
So epic! I wish we had these in LA.

What?!!! Another Disneyland Blog

Every year we got with Brett the older he gets and the more he loves the place.

Here is Travis enjoying the fire at Grand California.

Brett and I on Travis' favorite picture.

After Travis took a picture of Brett and me, later in the day he zoomed in on the picture and found this little girl. Hunting for hidden mickeys indeed.
