Tricia's Bridal Shower

Here is a picture from Tricia's Bridal Shower.  Her wonderful friend Laura, on the left, helped me put it together.  Great food +Great friends+Great Decor+ Fun Games+Gifts=Success!!! 

Friends dressed in toilet paper wedding dresses is always a good time.  We had yummy punch, Mama Llama empanadas, quiche, & heaps of "puppy chow" (a favorite snack of  Tricia's which is Chex mix covered in chocolate & powdered sugar).

Other than the seriously malfunctioning chocolate fountain, everything was fabulous.

Chilly December Days

 In December we had some freezing temperature mornings & nights.  We got to break in our fireplace.  Cali loves warm things, so she was in front of the fire within moments of us lighting it.

This looks much better in real life, but here is a picture of it anyway.  It is the golf course that surrounds our apartments.  On really cold mornings all the grass freezes.  I took this one morning on the way to work. Below are a couple shots from the entrance to our apartments.

Bobcat Sighting

James spotted a bobcat at his work.  
Here it is strolling leisurely through the grounds.
