Christmas

Drew and I went to California to spend Christmas with my family. We flew out of Denver on the 22nd. It was so nice to see my mom again. Our vacation was full of activities. We went to the Getty Museum, ate at a super fancy restaurant there, went clubbing with my parents and step-brother lol, went to Universal Studios, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, downtown LA, Long Beach, saw Les Mis, toured an old cruise ship, went to Catalina Island, ate at some tasty restaurants, shopped, walked, rode bicycles along the beach. We went to bed late and woke up early every day. I enjoyed seeing my grandpa, aunt and uncle, and mom and dad. I got a nook from my parents. Super excited about my new nook! Drew got money for a new phone from them. Oh and we had Mexican food at La Feria restaurant in LA. it's not in the best area but it is AMAZING! I highly recommend it. It is a nice clean restaurant where cops and security guys go to eat. Best flan I have ever had at a restaurant and I'm picky on flan. I only like my grandma's flan but this one was pretty good. Drew even liked it too. Super delicious rice and horchata and everything!
Anyways, it was a nice little getaway for a bit. We came back home on the 27th.
Here are pics from our trip.

Parties and Fun

It has been quite an eventful couple of days. I have been baking and creating goodies for Christmas plates to give out to friends and family.
Friday night was Drew's work Christmas party at the Broadmoor. They had like cirque de solei performers and yummy food. There was dancing, fake gambling, and karaoke. It was great meeting Drew's co-workers and hearing them talk so highly of him. He works so hard. Oh, he also won a trip to Puerto Rico from work. He came home from work earlier this week with a bouquet of flowers and a card and inside he had written some really heartfelt words and told me about the trip. I looked up at him and said what!? It was the best. I am excited for our finally honeymoon trip :)

Last night was my works Christmas party at bambinos. It wasn't even close to being as exciting as Drew's party but it was still nice. There was a buffet and we all got a gift. I unfortunately got coffee beans a mug and a chocolate spoon. I can do all but the coffee. Maybe I'll give it to somebody from work. After the party we went to my brother-in-laws apartment to hang out with them and deliver our nieces Christmas presents. We also watched the new batman movie. It was pretty exciting but we didn't finish the movie.
