Besties Christmas Party 2012

This last weekend I got to spend two glorious nights staying out way too late with my best friends from childhood. On Saturday night we brought our boys along and had a little mini reunion with our guy friends from high school too. Then Sunday night we had our annual Girlfriend Christmas Party. The night began with dinner at Wasabi followed by girl talk and a few drinks at Elbow Room. Love these girls to pieces they have helped mold me into who I am today and I am so grateful for them.

Ok prepare yourself for a flashback of these crazy girls over the years....

I'm looking for evidence of all the Christmas parties from high school but maybe it's best we keep those in the boxes to not embarrass ourselves

Christina's Girlfriend Christmas 2012

My sweet friend Christina's hosts an amazing Christmas party every year. This year was extra special because we celebrated in their new house. I love getting together with all of my girlfriends and enjoying a fun night together. Everything looks great in your new house!

Sophie's Cookie Exchange

I was invited to Sophie's annual cookie exchange. It was a blast and beautiful of course. Sophie is the most wonderful host. So happy to have her in my life!

Happy 60th Anniversary Papa & Grandma

Last Saturday we celebrated my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary at Harris Ranch. 60 beautiful years! Amazing! Three children, six grandchildren and a beautiful legacy of faithfulness to each other and the Lord. I adore my grandparents so much. They have been involved in every aspect of our lives and I'm so thankful for their support. I looked at them at our luncheon and turned to Aaron and told him I want to be just like them. Their love is still so evident after all these years.

My favorite of all time

San Francisco Getaway

At the end of October Aaron and I went up to San Jose and San Francisco. We stayed at the Hotel Valencia on Santana Row. We loved Hotel Valencia it is a must-stay now every time we head north. We shopped all day at Santana Row and then went into the city for some more shopping and dinner. It was so fun enjoying some quality time together. 

Joseph & Melaney Gentry

My big sister got married on October 13, 2012! It was a beautiful ceremony filled with tears of joy and laughter. I was so proud to stand by her side as her maid of honor. The reception was equally as beautiful and so much fun! We danced the night away with our friends and family. I was so happy to be my sisters "wedding planner." We shared so many memories making this fabulous day come together. I am proud of the amazing woman my sister has become and so happy she found the man of her dreams! So here are some pictures I took on my camera (but I was very busy being the maid of honor) so professional pictures to come!
