ok, so christmas wasn't in 2011 but i'm so far behind that i'm gonna clump it all in one post.
This year we went to Santa Barbara for christmas. we spent christmas eve at my sister-in-law's aunt's house for Posada. We sang worship songs in spanish, ate tamales and rocked baby jesus to sleep. yes we did :)
we spent the rest of the weekend at my brother's house opening presents and doing christmassy things like making hundreds of tamales and watching movies (mainly The Christmas Story a few times). scott's parents stopped by on their way up from Los Angeles too which was really cool!
NYE :)
my birthday came and went without any visible damage. i did get my first gray hair so i guess that's visible but i died it right away :) i'm officially in the last year of my 20's. i'm kinda looking forward to 30 actually. i feel like i can justify doing all the things i've always wanted to do when i turn 30. most of the big things are out of the way now and i can start enjoying everything. i have big plans for the next decade :) you know all the things you say "oh, i'll do that in my 30's" ?? such a good destination age.
this year for my birthday we wanted to take a trip. we decided NYC cuz neither one of us has been to New York. we booked our trip and were all packed to go when i got an email from Priceline that our flights had been canceled due to some stupid blizzard in NY. so with hours left till our vacation time, we took whatever refund they'd give us and booked another trip to Vegas! i think we salvaged the situation pretty nicely after such a frustrating turn of events. i was SO BUMMED!!! i mean, we've been to vegas a million times! scott even lived there for a while so it has no novelty for us but we hadn't been there together yet and we hadn't gone on a vacation with just the two of us in so long that it didn't really matter where we ended up going. we had a great time in Vegas. the weather was in the 70's and we did everything from shows to gambling to clubbing to shopping to etc. we couldn't have done any of these things in NY cuz it was below freezing there that whole week! ha! suckers!
