holiday season recap

family & friends, goings on, snapshots

I am finally getting around to adding some holiday photos…and some other things.

I did most of my shopping on December 23rd when the sky in Santa Monica was so beautiful I had to photograph it…

I worked on Christmas Eve day and December 26th, but I was still able to jump on plane for a short visit with my family. I enjoyed a mellow Christmas morning with my parents and then we had a sweet dinner at my Aunt Carole’s house, where everyone wore fun paper crowns. Here I am with my Grandma who was being particularly cute…

Upon my return R and I went to Akasha’s birthday {R’s brother Casey’s girlfriend} at the bowling alley! I heart bowling so much and it turns out despite unusual style, I am not that bad…

i *always* get points for style look at my three strikes!

Akasha did a birthday bowling dance and thought I was taking a picture when I was really making a video…notice her start to wonder what’s happening.

We had a ton of good old fashioned fun…

We also spent New Year’s Eve with Casey & Akasha, but unfortunately I forgot to take snapshots of our chilled out celebration over pizza and cocktails.

All in all, it was a great couple of weeks of holiday celebration!
Happy New Year!

Here I am as a Dirty Martini…

By this time my olives were starting to slip, but you get the idea. And R, well, he waited until the last minute to think of a costume, so he became the vodka in my martini. By himself, he looked as if he was half-assing it, but together, we looked so cute and clever.

And here I am with Tiffany and Rie…

I had to teach until 10pm, so by the time I got out I faded very quickly. Next year, remind me to refuse to sub someone’s class on Halloween night. I have now done that duty…
Boo!
