Busy Bee

So this week has been a busy one for me. Mike and I got back from San Diego late Monday night and we had a full week ahead of us. On Saturday we are having our annual xmas party at our place and then Sunday I am having my book club girls over for a cookie exchange. So mike and I needed to get our house in order. We were finally able to put up and decorate our xmas tree. (the gifts that I had wrapped 3 weeks ago now have a home). So that was fun as usual. This year we actually bought a second tree. A artificial 5ft tree and we dedicated this tree to our love for PSU. So a blue and white tree. We just finished last night so I don't have any pics yet. (I will I promise). So the house is all in order, all the lights are on timers, and we are set for the party. All we have to do is buy the booze and make some muchies on Saturday. Tonight we are headed to a nice dinner with some friends for a late birthday celebration. We are stopping at my favorite wine bar for appetizers and I can't wait.

So speaking of SD we all had a great time. Mike and I have both been before but some of our friends had not. So it was fun playing tourist again since I had not been to a lot of the places in a long time. I put a few pics from our trip but have many more to share. We were very productive during our trip so we went a bunch of places and ate a lot of good food. The few pics below are from old town, SD, the charger game on Sunday, la jolla, coronado, and sea port village. The carousel picture is a tradition in my family. Every year when we used to go to SD for Thanksgiving we would always go to seaport village to ride the horses first. So we have pictures from many years ago. So the two times mike and I have been in SD we have carried on the tradition.

Today we saw some flurries in DC and it made me so happy. I am very excited for my festive weekend ahead. I hope everyone has a nice weekend and is enjoying the holiday season. Only 15 more days till Santa!!!










PS. I still haven't given up on Louies brother....
