holidays highlighted

we had such a great december. we went home
for christmas and headed back to LA for new
years. hope you all had a happy holiday too!

meet our new friend. we fed this little guy apples and
carrots for 2 weeks. he had an injured leg and we like to
think we nursed him back to health. he stole all of our hearts.

we celebrated a couple of birthdays

rung in the new year at chase's big bash that he hosted.
the food was from deep fried, southern heaven!


we went to our first rose parade.
we had the best company and the best view around!

me and my chan.....my jackie, jackie, chan.

colton works sooooo hard! i really am so very proud of him. his hard work pays off though. here he is in front of one of his posters that made it into the art center gallery during the grad show. i love it.

we are fools.....apparently

we had no idea that traveling home from utah to california on a sunday, let alone a holiday weekend, is just plain stupid. but, obviously a lot of other people didn't know that either.

after a grueling 2 hours from vegas to prim and a twenty minute gas line, the flashing lights of the whiskey pete pet friendly hotel at $19.99 a night seemed like heaven.

once again we were fools. we are sure that there aren't fleas in heaven, at least ones that don't bite. poor pup.

dia de los muertos

so fun.......at the hollywood forever cemetery they celebrate this fantastic holiday with a bang! we went with my dear friend corey (and heather in spirit, wish you were there) the alters that people created for their loved ones were spectacular! i am nuts about all the colors!
frida was totally there.
the food was to DIE for!

ygg threw a mean halloween party this weekend. there was dancing, food, a spook alley, and of course costumes, which is actually a daily occurrence. i love everyone at ygg, they are all amazing, so fun!

carol (estee) hot cave woman (lisa) frida (again, but i hadn't plucked in a while so it worked) marty (jordo)
i was first runner up to the costume contest. i didn't get everybody's vote, but at least these guys liked my outfit.
please take notice of the small child behind chase, he gave her quite the halloween fright!
