It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

Or was.

Christmas Season - BOOM - come and gone.

I had aspirations to do a whole bunch more, but life happens. I did probably gain about 10 pounds and have not stopped eating/drinking. I do have some lovely memories to share though! It was a Happy Christmas Season indeed!!

Went to South Coast Plaza early December to meet Carol for dinner then wandered the mall with Rosalinda looking at the decor!

There were a few nights of Christmas Walkin - looking at Christmas Lights and Decor in different places. I friggin love Christmas lights!!!

Pat and I wandered DTSA one night

This was someone's friggin garage!!!!

My favorite shot

We did our annual girls night which will be the last one at the Caboose!!

The little gifts I made for the girls

So there it is!

Christmas Season has come and gone! It always goes by like a friggin whirlwind but it was a glorious whirlwind! I am truly grateful for my wonderful family and dear friends that surround me and bring joy to my life. I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season!!

My very 1st NFL Football Game...

So one of my best friends and my sister in law now work for The Chargers. This means I may have a chance to hit up a professional football game!

I'm not a huge football fan, don't really have a team, but I almost always enjoy live sports games of any sort.

Another of my dearest friends Cesar is a huge Chargers fan and has been all of his life. Since he's going to be moving away, I wanted to get him to a game before he left, so December 22nd was that day. Thank you Miss Danelle!

It's the last game they'll be playing at this smaller stadium since the LA Football stadium will be done for next season. It was really fun! And very intimate. The Chargers were playing The Raiders and everyone was warning me me it could be a rowdy game, but it was just fine! Lots of shit talking of course, but all in good fun for sure. Sadly the Chargers lost and as a true sports fan Cesar was livid and we left with about 4 min left in the last quarter, LOL, but he and I had a great time none the less!
