My Birthday Dinner at The Lazy Dog Cafe.

We had an amazing time with friends and family for my birthday this year.  My friends planned a fantastic evening out on the patio of the Lazy Dog Cafe and we shared TONS of food, wine and good times.  I am a blessed girl for sure.

For those of you who know me well.  I love having a different theme for Christmas every year.  The family gets excited to see how they should dress or what the menu might be like.  I'm sure that you can surmise by the title, we enjoyed Christmas from paradise this year.  I hope you enjoy.

Announcing the 2016 Christmas Pups

Good Friends, Good Wine, Good Day

Our good friends Tim and Cindy both have birthdays close together so they generally plan a big camping trip to celebrate both.  This year, we camped at the Pechanga RV resort and took a wine tasting tour.  The weather couldn't have been nicer.

Christmas Time in Downtown Brea with Grandma

Many cities get dressed up for Christmas but we always love to come down to Brea's Birch Street to see a movie and enjoy the sights.

The Little Red Cabin 2016

We always look forward to December.  Every year we head up to Idyllwild to reunite with my family.  Stinky that it's only once a year but we are so spread out that it's hard to get us all under the same roof more than once.  While we are there, we ALWAYS stay at the Little Red Cabin.  These pics might not look too different than those I've posted in the past but each year our good friend Lynn decorates the cabin just a little different.  She usually adds something a little new and special.

Take a look.
