Christmas with the Caywoods

The Caywoods surprised us with a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE & showed up on our doorstep late Monday night. Well, they actually left Gwyn on our doorstep with a bow but I was so busy trying to get to her that I didn't even look for them too hard.
As always, our families had a blast together and we were able to have our own Christmas celebration. We just love those guys so very much & miss having them in our lives as much as we used to.
Thanks for being such awesome friends & making the trek to see us!

TaNgLeD!!!

We've been home from Tangled for less than an hour, and in my opinion, it's the BEST animated Disney movie... EVER!!!

The whole family loved it. We laughed, (I cried), the storyline was wonderful, the characters were great and.....Rapunzel was simply amazing! She just makes you feel so much.
She is totally my princess.

about time Disney had a green-eyed princess, too...

The Nutcracker, part deux

We started our girl's night our at Olive Garden...yummy! Then after we were stuffed with pasta we made our way to the theater. It was beautiful and so festive, and the set was amazing. My favorite part was the Land of Snow & The Dewdrop Fairies. Olivia was in awe the whole time, she was so excited to continue our tradition & clapped like mad.

I loved the little baker Nutcracker guy, he's the one I wanted but he was $50...

The tree was huge & so sparkly!

Waiting for the show to begin...

(she just loved her new dress)

Our beautiful girls.

The Nutcracker

The girls are off to see The Nutcracker ballet tonight. We're so excited to keep up our tradition!

More fun Birthday-ness

...got a couple more AWESOME things for my birthday. Got a beautiful sweater from Kim & then Sarah (the best sister EVER) literally scoured all of San Francisco for my Vanilla Bean Noel lotion that I get every year. They're totally sold out company-wide.
She loves me!

Erin's Birthday

I had a great Birthday yesterday full of snow, lots of yummy food, Christmas tree goodness, great gifts, a HP Christmas marathon & being able to talk on the phone with everyone that I love. Who could ask for a better day?

Me & the boys showing off my new coat, they were all telling me how to pose.

Crista's present, a laptop cover. She told me to open it last "so you won't be disappointed in everyone else's presents". Laughed my butt off when I saw it...GO TEAM JACOB!
