Christmas

I don't have any pics from Christmas Eve with Dave's family yet, but will post as soon as I do.

Christmas morning started off at Deb's house in Orange with Dave's parents. We opened gifts and eat breakfast together.










Then we headed to Norco to Mom & Wendy's home. We played with the verious animals, exchanged gifts, and even took a tour of the neighborhood in "Popeye".




And finally to spend time with my Dad's side of the family in Capo Beach. It was so great to have the family all together again for Christmas. Uncle Scott and I played Santa.

Christmas Party

Last night we attended our 1st Christmas Party of the season. It was the party for Dave's work and it was at the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach. I got off work early so that we could get the most out of our room reservation. When we arrived the valet took the keys and our bags. We were then met at the door of the lobby by a smiling face who know our names and took us directly to our room. No waiting, no check in, no trying to figure out where our room was from a tiny little hotel map. And when they finally brought up our bags they also brought a complementary bottle of champagne.


Once we were dressed in our finest and ready to party we walked back thru the lobby and down a big staircase to the ball room. We had cocktails and appetizers while mingling before heading in. Dinner was fabulous followed by and even better chocolate tart with raspberry dessert. And then came the dancing!














The best part of the Montage...the bed! OH MY GOSH! It is how I imagine sleeping in heaven will feel (if there is sleeping in heaven). I really wanted to take the bed home with me. Needless to say we slept in and didn't leave until right before check out. We even had breakfast in bed!

Fashion Island

So yesterday we went to Fashion Island to shoot our Christmas Card photo. Of course I can't share the card pics with you yet, but I can show some of the pics I took of the coi pond :o)
I took this last picture by sticking the camera out the window while driving down PCH on the way home.
