Happy New Year! 2010

We started New Years Eve with an extremely exciting soccer game.  George is coaching Boys Soccer at CDMHS and the team was in the finals against our Alma Mater-MVHS.  We were at the fields that George and I met at over 14 years ago.  Man... I feel old!

I'm so proud of George for excelling as a coach and for his dedication to the players on his teams.

They won and George(and Irelyn) were congratulated with Champagne and cider.

Party in the Hood followed.  Good times with good friends. 

I hope 2010 brings you much love and joy

Disney on Ice

If you ever get the chance to go to Disney on Ice you must go!  We went the day after Christmas and we LOVED it.  Our seats were really great and Irelyn was so excited when TinkerBell came over and waved right at her :)

Doing everything Christmas!

How is it the middle of December already??  Time is flying...but this is my most favorite time of the year.  George will be home now on the weekends and evenings for the next 3 months..such a wonderful break for him (and us).  Enjoy this time with your family :)

A day at Disneyland

We had one of the best days ever at Disneyland today.  No lines!, the kids were able to sit with the driver of the Monorail, and Irelyn was in part of a show.  They dressed her as Frosty!

After the show she said that she loved when the audience clapped for her.   :)

The best coffee

At our local Costco this weekend they are having the road show for Jose's Coffee.  You get a 3lb bag for less than $10.  And the coffee is really good!  They have so many flavors to choose from, including Merrimint and Nutty Doodle, and they will let you sample all of them too.  Get to it!

Did you shop?

I went to the mall around 8:30am.  I got some good deals for myself, bought 2 Christmas presents, and just browsed.  I definitely didn't think it was very crowded this year..or maybe my timing was good. The early birds were probably already gone and the late people weren't there yet.  Either way, it was another fun day of shopping with my mom and daughter. 

Did you get any great deals?

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

I hope your day was filled with family and fun!

Recipe Wednesday

This dip reminds me of the Holidays... or maybe it just reminds of family. It's really a Super Bowl type food but it is just soooooo good!

Chili Dip
1 can chili- no beans
8 oz. cream cheese
Cook over low hear until cheese melts. 
Serve hot with Fritos.

Seriously- it is delish!
