Belated Thanksgiving Pictures

The Day after Thanksgiving we went up to Sierra Madre', a very cute little town North of Pasadena. We went on a hike in Angeles Forest with Adam's Dad and Stepmom.

These are some pictures from the hike.

Adam's Dad and Stepmom Rosemary

She is so cute!

After the hike we ventured back into town and had drinks and appetizers at an English Pub where we found English candy and food that we bought for my family back in Oregon.

Thanksgiving day at our house! We hosted again this year and had friends come over. It was a very joyful day filled with lots of laughter and thankfulness for all we have.

Random Pictures from December

Our California Style Christmas Tree-We walked it over from the lot across the street. It actually came all the way from Oregon!

Our good friend Melissa Rooke had her birthday party at an "ice skating" rink at the W in Westwood. The ice skating rink was actually made out of plastic-which of course was another LA experience.

Pretending that we were skating.

Suzi and I at Bel Air's Women's Christmas Tea

Had to include this one...what Briana did in exchange for room and board while she stayed with my parents. She even cut Adam's hair. We love her so much!!!

Adam was our butler at the Tea

My amazing small group at the Tea-Yvonne-farthest on the left hosted for all of us.

Christmas in Oregon and Other...

Adam and I spent this Christmas in Oregon with my entire immediate family. David and Briana were also in Oregon so we had a very full house! While we were home Adam learned how to play BlackHawks on the XBox and some other army game on the PS3, we went golfing in the freezing cold(our fingers were so numb towards the end of the game we could hardly hold the clubs), we played lots of card games, spent a lot of time with family and friends laughing and eating good food and we even danced off Christmas cookies and candy while playing Kathleen's wii game Step Up and Dance 2. During our stay all of the girls learned how to knit from my mom who is amazing!!! Although I was the first the start, I am still on my same scarf while Kathleen has finished a scarf and Briana has finished a scarf and a hat she just started!!

It was such a great time getting to catch-up with family and friends and we even got to see my dear friend Melissa's baby belly!

Hope you enjoy looking through the pictures.
