{the station}

On Tuesday we loaded up and headed down to San Diego for a mini-family reunion. We met up with the rest of the family at Station Tavern & Burgers for a bite to eat.

{a christmas story - part 1}

As usual, Christmas kicked our butt. We had 3 celebrations, so once again I'm going to break this up because there are a lot of pictures to share.

Let's start with Christmas Eve. Growing up, we always got new jammies to open on Christmas Eve, and I'm carrying on that tradition. We ordered some pizza and cozyed up on the couch and watched the Polar Express in anticipation of Santa's arrival. We left milk & cookies, but someone decided to help herself to those cookies.

I'm just going to let the pictures do all of the talking...
