January Beach Days!

This January has felt a lot like summer!!  The temperature has been up in the high 80's and we were able to do 2 full on beach days.  Feels so weird to go from taking down the Christmas tree to getting our bathing suits on!!  It's just one of the many reasons I love living in southern California.  I can't wait for summer this year- I'm hoping I can get Noah on a boogie board and Sienna will be walking!!

New Year's Eve 2008

Happy New Year!!!  Zach and I rang in the New Year in style this year at a swanky party held at the St. Regis in Monarch Beach with our friends and neighbors, Shannon and Ryan.  To be honest, it's not our typical thing but I have to admit, it was so fun to get all dressed up!!  Stacie was kind enough to watch the kids early in the evening and Papa Dave came over to do the overnight shift so would could stay the night- we had a blast!!  It was a fun night with lots of dancing (me and Shannon- not so much the boys!) and yummy champagne mojitos- my new favorite drink!!
