California Christmas

We spent Christmas with my family in California this year and had a fabulous time. We hadn't been to California for quite awhile so this trip had been a long time coming. Here are some pictures of all the fun we had!

We requested tickets to the Jay Leno Show back in September and found out we got tickets in November. It felt like we waited forever but we had the best time! My parents came with us and we made the most of the day. We ate at one of our favorite Mexican restaurant Poquito Mas before the show, it was the same restaurant we went to after my brother got married in LA. After the show we drove down to the LA Temple to see the Christmas lights and ate at a super delicious pizza place.

On the set of the Tonight Show...it was freeeeeeezing cold in there, my mom and I had to keep our jackets on the whole time. It was such a fun experience, regardless of who your favorite late night show star is I highly recommend going to a taping of a show. It was great and now everytime we watch the Jay Leno show we think of when we went.

A day later everyone else arrived in Lake Arrowhead. Lake Arrowhead was hit very hard during the huge rain storm, so hard that the lake was overflowing like crazy. We went for a little hike down to a river where water from the lake flows out. Normally this is a slow moving river but it was roaring this time. The pictures don't really do it justice, there was an incredible amount of water flowing.










Random pics from the week...

Grandpa (dad) and Lola coloring Hello Kitty!



I sewed an apron while I was there for my aunt Nalini, Lani was the model :)



I have plenty of pictures just like this in my baby book, Lola loves my mom's shoes, as did I at her age!



I got a heart shaped waffle iron for Christmas, I've been wanting one for a long time and Logan surprised me and remembered. Aren't those waffles so cute?!



Logan and my dad built a TV stand while we were there for our place. This is the most complete picture I had, but they added a back to it and we still need to stain it.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
