 |
| This jackass has skin allergies and has to now sleep in a onsie at night to keep him from licking his underbelly |
 |
| He's not in love with it |
 |
| Winter break has begun! |
 |
| Daddy's Boy |
Pat and I hit up Temecula for our Wine Pick up!
 |
| I took her to Jardin for brekkie! |
 |
| Taylor got to hang with us for a tiny bit! |
 |
| Showed us the hidden Krampus Ornament |
We threw our annual Holiday Open House and it was a huge hit! Love doing this!
 |
| Literally how it started...I always wanted to have a reason to make Mulled Wine |
 |
| Tried to move people out of the kitchen so we set up in the garage too! |
 |
| And made a photo op! |

Then my other favorite tradition around this time of year is the Winter Sawdust with Julie! Had a lovely time and even took and art class!
 |
| Julie and I got there too late to sit together... |
 |
| Our "GingerBread" houses |
 |
| I cannot love this woman more! |
Got some hiking in:
Our friend Sarah had an event at her house to raise funds for a friend. Your ticket got you a couple of glasses of wine, a picnic box and a tour of the SparkleBall neighborhood! It was so lovely getting shown around one of our favorite neighborhoods in a golf cart!
 |
| Rascal seemed fine in the Golf Cart! |
 |
| Thank you Danny for being a great tour guide! |
 |
| The lovely Sarah! |
I had my monthly brunch with Maria and Jen! Festive posing this time around!
 |
| "Spritz and Giggles" |
 |
| Jen and Maria sandwich |
 |
| Pat loves the wine glass Jen gave me for Xmas! |
Got out to the cemetery with mom:
Our work had their holiday bash. It's gotten a bit lame, but Trang - our newest employee was so excited we had to get a picture in! Plus Maria and I always try to as well!
 |
| Most of the Systems Team |
Christmas Eve morning I had breakfast with Hailey and Libby then Libby and I wandered in the rain for a couple more. Such a great way to start the holiday!
 |
| Libby hates umbrellas |
 |
| The rainiest Christmas Eve Eva! |
Christmas Eve we had Dad, Lori, Shane and D over for dinner. We made the same thing we made for ourselves for Thanksgiving. Huge hit! Sadly I again forgot to take pictures of the evening but it was lovely. Christmas Day was our usual silly fun over at mom's house. Then Jeanne and Ted came over that evening for Christmas Dinner which I also forgot to take pictures of.
 |
| Rascal loves to get weird with Gramma |
 |
| Games! |
 |
| I won this game! |
 |
| Daddy's Boy |
 |
| Rascal loved his presie from Gramma |
 |
| Our attempt at a Family Photo |
 |
| Griswold Family Christmas |
We had a very wet last few weeks of December, and Pat and I enjoyed sitting out on the porch enjoying the rain.
 |
| Mom got me this great new cozy throw for porch sitting/drinking and love my new wine glasses from Shane/D! |
Lots of out of towners this time as well!
 |
| Why yes I'll have a Christmas Mimosa even though Christmas is over |
 |
| Keri and Wendi were both in town after Christmas! |
 |
| Twisted Vine |
 |
| Bob Tully is visiting as well! |
 |
| Glad we got a lunch in just us so we could catch up! |
New Years Eve was quiet. Pat and I stayed in and he made Lobster Ravioli and we watched the finale of Stranger Things. Celebrated the East Coast New Years then passed the hell out.
So that's it folks.
Another year of monthly photo fun!
