Lovely holidays

I hope everyone has recovered from eating loads of yummy food and relaxing with their families. Boy, do I have a lot of photos to share!

One Sunday morning I arrived at work to find such pretty things waiting for me. More arrived later. Everyone is always so thoughtful and generous to me.
Monday night (Dec. 22) we had a delicious dinner with our cousins. We made a date to hang out since we wouldn't see that side of the family for Christmas. They had this delicious dip waiting for us.We spent the night eating in the family room and staying warm and cozy. We played a really fun board game called Smart Ass. Dan keeps joking that he won. :D Dan didn't want to go out this year so we had dinner at my house. We had a relaxing evening with the family.I'm not sure who is more excited about this birthday present. I just love the Wii fit! Here is the mandatory goofy birthday photo. You can barely even see the birthday boy! We spent Christmas Eve day at Zena's house with some friends before heading over to Danville for Dan's father's family party. The food was oh so good! I adore seeing everyone and wish I could find more time to visit.I have a rule that I can't take photos of people eating. I take photos before or after the fact. Don't they look happy? We really enjoyed catching up with the newly weds and look forward to hanging out with them soon.
I took so many photos on Christmas, so that will be in an upcoming post. Happy Weekend!

The January EBB Kit is here!

This month's kit includes the prettiest papers from the Fancy Pants Crush line. I had so much fun working with it! You can buy it here for $15.99.




Kyle sent me some pictures from the photo shoot I did with him and his siblings. He did the editing since it was so close to Christmas. This is my most favorite portrait I've ever taken. I have more posted on my flickr account.


Jenna, Jeff, Kelley, and I went to Chevy's for some Saturday night fun. We played a hot game of scrabble and spent some quality cousin time together.



Jenny stopped by my work on Sunday and it was so great to see her. We talked for about an hour and I'm hoping we'll be able to hang out more often now that my schedule has calmed down a bit. After work I drove over to Danville and played guitar hero 3 with Gabriella and Chesco.

I met Valerie at Barnes & Noble Monday evening to discuss our Wedding videography company. We're going to be shooting a wedding on Valentine's day in Jenner, Ca (2 hour drive north of SF). Dan met us for dinner at BJ's Brewery and then Valerie and i went shopping for jeans. And we actually found some that fit! I bought two pairs because its such a rare occasion. I'm loving my new Levi's.

I've been playing scrabble a lot lately for practice. I played my grandma after a week of playing about 4 games and we both saw a big improvement. She still beat me by a landslide so I still have a ways to go!

I got this in the mail yesterday and laughed my head off. Why shouldn't I change my spelling to Mi Cha and still pronounce my name Michelle?



My next post will be my 100th post so be sure to check back for a RAK and some other fun stuff!
