Easter!!

Since Greg went all romantic on our anniversary I decided to plan a little surprise for him.  This is also the first Easter for both of us to be away from our families, so I wanted to make it special. Greg woke up for the day to an apt Easter egg hunt, a variety of candy, and an amazing breakfast including: pancakes, quiche lorraine, bacon, juice, coffee, and champagne.

I bought the flowers for myself.

New Wave Holiday Party

So I finally found a dress, I've been looking for a month online and I still ended up spending at least 6 hrs total at the mall.  It was awful! I love to shop, but I hate when its down to the wire and you have nothing to wear.  I usually get a few options and then return what I didnt wear, things look so different once you get the home.  The party was at Crimson in Hollywood and it was great!  

  I finally decided on this Rachel Roy number, I figured it was modest enough for a company gathering and still fun enough for NYE.

Thanksgiving!!

Of all the Holidays Thanksgiving is probably my favorite.  Its a day to reflect on everything you have to be thankful for, to be with those you love, and to eat an amazing meal and RELAX!!  That is exactly the Thanksgiving I had, it was fun and the food was delicious! I even helped in the kitchen, which I love to do!

The flowers we brought for Cyndy,
they ended up being the centerpiece
of the table.

The potatoes Au Gratin, the dressing
(that is what you call stuffing not in
the bird), yams, and the green bean
casserole.

The amazing and beautiful turkey platter!

Ooooh the Holidays....

Why do the Holidays cause so much stress?  Between travel plans, family plans, parties, traditions and presents there is no time to stop, look around, and enjoy yourself.  And to top it all off this is our first Christmas in LA, so there is that added stress.  So far our December looks like this.

12/4-12/5      New Wave employee Holiday party
12/10-12/12  Greg goes to SF for Bob and Cyndy's Holiday party
12/14-12/15  Doug, Nate, and Jes come to go see a LIVE Conan taping
12/15-12/20  I'll be in SF visiting family and friends
12/21-12/28  My Mom and Ben and whole Mom's side of the family are coming to LA!!!
12/29-12/30  Greg goes back to SF to see family
12/29-01/01  Christina comes to town to ring in the new year!
12/31            NYE!!!!!!

And then we can finally breathe!!  geeeze!!  But starting after Thanksgiving there will be no breathing until the Holidays are over.  Dont get me wrong we are lucky to have such a fun and action packed Holiday season!!  Once I figure out what I want to wear to the New Wave party, which I hear is QUITE SNAZZY and my NYE outfit I will feel much better!
