Balboa Island with Family

Disney in December

Josh and i went to Disneyland last night for about an hour, to enjoy the 'snow' and fireworks. Fireworks were amazing as always, and the snow (a mixture of soapy water) was quite enjoyable. i finally figured out which setting works best for fireworks!! its quite tricky, but i somehow managed... and i must say.. i think they look legit. 8)





Favorite shot of the night!!

Carpinteria

This weekend Josh and I went up to Carpinteria for a much needed visit with Al, Nina, and the girls. Fun was had by all, especially when we made our Christmas cookies. Suprisingly they enjoyed cleaning it up too ;) 

Cleaning up ;)

Paul's big debut

..sort of. Paul sung at Biola's open mic night last night! He played one of his original Christmas songs. It was actually a really cool night. There were lots ..ok a few.. really talented people that night. 

Stuart, thank you for being the only BOY to semi-cooperate with me while trying to take a picture.
A few cute decorations.

Starting to feel a lot like Christmas..

We were both sickly this weekend, so this was the best that we could do for a Christmas photo..well definitely have to take a better one soon. haha

Stuart was sweet and brought us by some very yummy chicken noodle soup.. and he liked our decorations.. a lot :)

Carpinteria

This Saturday I drove up to Carpinteria for a much needed visit with my favorite family. We had so much fun together, just relaxing and touring the town. Nina and I found this great flea market with all these neat vintage items and trendy accessories. The girls were so excited and couldnt wait to put their costumes on that evening. Nevaeh was a beautiful Tinker Bell and Char was an adorable Minnie Mouse. I love you guys! Thanks for letting me spend the day with you! Can't wait until next time :)

Bike rides and sea food!

He fights me for a serious/candid picture every time. 
Yes I can ride my bike and take a picture at the same time. 

 We went to Joe's Crab Shack [my first time there..quite the experience] and practically found ourselves in heaven. The food was delicious.

"Hello, there delicious crab!" 

The next morning Josh made us mickey mouse pancakes! what a great husband :)
