this is the life {san diego edition}

we are back from our home away from home.
as always the weekend was jammed full of all things fun.
lots of cousin lovin, candy making, christmas decorating, laughing till our sides hurt fun.
it is always hard to pack up and head home.

the girls are already counting down the days till we return...13 more days till the Nutcracker!!

this little munchkin caught her daddy's cold, but she still just keeps on smiling...

so my hubby loves to hang christmas lights. i would say it has become a bit of an obsession for him. his thinking when it comes to "decking the halls" is the bigger, the better. unfortunately, due to the fact that we live in an apartment for the moment, his ability to go all out was quite limited. on the brighter side, he went a bit crazy at my parent's home this weekend, hanging lights literally up until the moment we had to head home. it looks pretty amazing!   

grandma and the girls made the most delicious peppermint bark. so festive!
