We walked around a neighborhood totally decked out for the holidays with the Abbotts. I was so impressed by the amazing decorations this entire neighborhood put together. About a million people were driving and walking around enjoying and the neighbors had even capitalized by selling hot chocolate and other treats. Mark and I were apparently on a snowman kick that night because we took a few pictures of us with snowmen. Here's my favorite... he's so happy!
The evening before we flew out to Utah we celebrated our second Christmas "morning" by giving our presents to Mom and Dad and opening up the last of our presents to each other. Mom and Dad also gave us some fabulous presents, which included this amazing Lakers book,
and a wedding photo book!! It's absolutely beautiful and was so appreciated. Thanks goes out to Brett as well for putting it together.
Mark, Tyler, and Sammy enjoying the Christmas festivities (i.e. being goofballs as usual).
As for after we came back to Yorba Linda after Christmas, apparently we didn't take any pictures. We had fun hanging out with lots of family, even though Mom and Dad actually left for the Grand Canyon the day after we got there. We hung out at home for New Years Eve. Mark and I went to our customary Bari Bari restaurant. We went the year before on New Years Eve before Mark proposed so we're going to try and continue the tradition every year.
One afternoon we all went over to Mike and Vicki's house to check out their place (absolutely gorgeous home!) and eat a yummy Mexican dinner (the seriously best fajitas I have ever eaten). We had fun chatting and hanging out. All in all, Mark and I weren't super excited to drive back to real life. We love hanging out with the Abbotts as often as we can and love having them close by.
