Christmas and more

Christmas flew by this year, as it always does when combined with catering. Jessica and Jesse flew down for a few days to celebrate with us. The entire week was chaotic, and here's a quick summary:

1. Crazy, crazy rainfall and flooding prevented me from getting to the mall (or anywhere else for that matter!)
2. Thursday night was the Warr family Christmas party. We tried to do a White Elephant gift exchange this year to switch it up a bit. Kind of hard to do when no one will/can be quiet, but it was still fun. Glory be, Ava bought Ellie a new tutu!!!
3. Because of the rain all week, I still hadn't finished my shopping on Christmas Eve. Jessica and I went to Fashion Valley on Friday morning, and my car was hit by the biggest ditz (idiot) to have a driver's license. I kid you not....she rammed into the BACK of me then got out of her car and started yelling at me "Didn't you see me?!?! Why did you hit me?!?!?" It was really, really difficult for Jessica and I not to start screaming back. Wow. Stupidity is one of the worst genetic flaws to have. She didn't even apologize for ruining my car and my weekend. Anyway, my car had to be towed and we blocked a lot of traffic in front of Nordstrom for 2 hours while waiting for the tow truck. But we still went shopping! :)
4. Friday night we decorated pre-fab gingerbread houses with the girls.
5. Christmas day! Presents, a hike, dinner. Goes without saying that it sure was fun with the girls this year.

Christmas Stuff



Very excited to decorate

I threw almost all of the old xmas stuff away when we moved but they found a few strays

This is the cutest and bestest tree ever! :)

Hi Molly!

These are the gingerbread men that the girls made


"Mom, I'm really good at this."





Caught on camera: our dumb dog found a way in through the new fences that block him from his favorite place....our new grass.
