day 347

This house, on the other end of our street, makes up for all the [outward] Christmas spirit that we lack this year.

day 346

A good friend went through the temple for the first time, so a bunch of us went to support. It was a wonderful evening!

day 345

Got this advert for a seminar in my inbox at work... a hint, perhaps?

day 344

Brrr... it's time to start bundling up a bit before going out.

day 343

I love having friends who are fabulous bakers! Thanks, Chanin!

day 342

I saw these at the grocery store and had to have them... they reminded me of Jr. High School. I used to get them at the little window at lunch time. Ahhhhh... good times.

day 341

Oceanside on a beautiful December morning.

day 340

My bro-in-law Bryan recently found out that he passed the Bar exam (yay!) and had to So Cal return for the swearing-in ceremony. He brought Gavin with him. I went down to my parent's house at lunchtime today to see the little guy... we called Cindy when he awoke from his nap.

day 339

You can tell... Kate's been here. She spends hours messing with her hair. Geez. Tween-hood.

day 338

Tonight was the Relief Society Christmas Dinner, facilitated (in large part) by my gals Chanin and Julie. Great job, ladies!

day 337

The annual YM/YW White Elephant Gift Exchange. Some went away with decent stuff...

day 336

Kate and her stylish new hat...

day 335

Collins, enjoying his nakedness. Sampson's not sure what to think...

day 334

Just about ready to mail...

day 333

I've got a YW Board Meeting on Sunday. Of course I need my ladies to have matching binders. I'm not a tad bit OCD or anything...

day 332

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving dinner... hot rolls, right out of the oven!

day 331

Last night we had a YW slumber party. I did not slumber with the rest of the party, but returned early enough to catch the girls before they awoke. See more HERE.

day 330

My new computer screen is reeeeeeeeeeeeally reflective.

day 329

Today is my brother Philip's 32nd birthday. As you can see, I've remained consistent with NOT getting my birthday cards sent in a timely fashion.

day 328

After many, many months of technical difficulty of one kind or another, we finally got a new system. I'm loving it (even though it's not a Mac... perhaps one day).
