its beginning to look alot like christmas...



This is my absolute FAVORITE time of the year! I think it's cuz I love the challenge of searching for the perfect christmas gift for someone and then seeing their face when they open it. Leith says its cuz I get to wear my cute scarves and boots. I will admit his reason is somewhat true! Well, this year we decided not to get a christmas tree for a couple reasons...1) the spot in our apartment where we used to place our christmas tree is home to Isaiah's swing and jumperoo, and 2) we will be gone for the entire week before christmas at our parents' house so we wont even be home to enjoy our tree on christmas. Although I love the smell of a fresh christmas tree, I must say I am somewhat relieved by the fact that I won't have to deal with all the work that goes into putting it up, decorating it, and then taking it all down.
So...in the effort to make this holiday season somewhat festive even without a christmas tree we put up some simple holiday decor and have been attempting to partake in as many holiday themed activities possible.



at "december nights" in balboa park...it was cold!

we enjoyed a lovely dinner at Sara's house and Isaiah got to see his first christmas tree!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
