Home for The Holidays

Bryan and I are back in California with our families for Christmas.

!!! YAY !!!

So while everyone else is bundling up, freezing their tooshies off, cranking up the heater and shoveling snow

***

We will be celebrating our 1st Christmas as husband and wife here...

~watching the sunset over the ocean in Laguna Beach

yes, I took this photo

~eating at our favorite sushi restaurant that we crave on a daily basis

~in San Diego, my old stomping grounds, to visit lots of friends

~sipping the most yummy coffee that I miss so very much

Starbucks eat your heart out! You've got nothin' on Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, nothin'...

~even the most yummy of people go to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf! Best believe I'll be looking for this guy...~getting a pedicure with my mom~visiting the Huntington Beach pier because Huntington Beach is where I lived throughout my college years ~and because Bryan's sister, Tracy, has a bench dedicated to her on the HB pier... and we like to say "hello..." to her when we're in town
Funny story - over a year ago Bryan and I were promoting a new candy bar by Mars called Fling Chocolate. Well, we went to Huntington Beach one day and I brought a Fling bar with me to leave on Tracy's bench for her... I mean, I figured she hadn't had a fling in a while and could use one desperately :) ~my beautiful hometown
I worked at this lake for 4 years in high school/the early years of college and have spent many weekends up in those mountains of Big Bear.
The neighborhood between the lake and the mountains is where I grew up, where my parents still live and where we will be celebrating Christmas this year.

You enjoy the snow. We'll enjoy the sun.

Merry Christmas!
