Girls Night Out

While in California I was able to get together with 3 of my good friends to go out to dinner. It was fun catching up and hearing about what everyone was up to. It felt like we were never apart!

There was a group of old ladies at the table next to us, all wearing hats. We decided this is what we will be like when we are old!

El Torito

Last night Josh and I decided to eat at our favorite restaurant in California - El Torito. They have the best Mexican food! They are a bit more pricey than we would prefer, but it is always worth it.

Movie at Downtown Disney

My family and I decided to go out to a movie last night and headed over to Downtown Disney to see Avatar in 3D. My best friend Kacie meet us there to watch the movie too. I haven't seen her in a couple years so it was good to be together again!

Christmas Run

Christmas afternoon, some of my family members and I decided to go for a run. It had been 2 1/2 months since I had been running so I felt way out of shape, but it was good to get back to running again.

Christmas Eve

Since Christmas Eve was the only time the whole family would be together we decided to open presents then. It was a lot of fun exchanging gifts and seeing what everyone got.

Beach Day

Josh, Josh's brother, Alex, and I drove down to California yesterday to spend some time with my family for Christmas. We went to the beach today so the boys could play in the ocean while we were here. They had a blast, even thought the water was freezing! I think they are headed back to the beach tomorrow for some more fun.
