Jingle all the way..........

Ok, I know. Im out of control. Christmas is 16 days away but I dont care. To me, its just around the corner and Im so excited someone slap me!

*

Keir and I went and got the tree Friday night and as part of our tradition afterwards we went to Islands for dinner with the tree on top of the car.

*

This year was a little different tho cuz our tree is only 5 feet tall so it fit in the back of my ginormous truck! It looked to witto in the back but we absolutely love it!!!

*

It was easy for me to pick up and carry in and with the help of Keir and her friend Kia, their was no screaming or cussing between Keir and I while getting the tree in the stand and straight.

*

Every year we struggled with just us 2 girls to get our 7 or 8 foot tree straight and this year we decided Santa is watching and we "better be good for goodness sake" and that meant no cussing while trimming the tree!

*

So with our lil' Charlie Brown Christmas tree we accomplished just that. It got all put up without one single argument.

***Note to self: Only get 5ft Christmas tree going forward ;-)

Saturday night Keir and I got all fancy and went to my work Christmas Party. The dress Keir is wearing is the one she got for her homecoming that I never got to see on her cuz she was being a teenager and blew me off for her big day. So finally I got to see her all dressed up in it!

(Im telling you this cuz Keir reads this blog and Im rubbing it in that she ditched me for homecoming~Love you honey! LOL)

Keir loves to try new restaurants just like me so on the weekends we usually cook a lot at home but one day or night we like to go out. So Sunday we decided to head north to San Clemente for a little restaurant recon mission. We didnt know where we were going but we knew we wanted a cute little place that we would love to come back to and we found it!!!

Cafe Mimosa

*

Keir had a cappuccino and I had a pomegranate mimosa and for brunch she had the Croissant French Toast and I had the "Mexi Scramble" ey ey ey was it good! Its our new favorite spot and one of the cutest bistros Ive ever seen. We had a fantastic weekend and topped it off by making Christmas cards but I cant show you those cuz its a surprise. You'll have to wait to get yours in the mail. he he

Merry Christmas!
