Christmas in LA

This year, we're spending Christmas in LA. My grandparents moved to LA this year and since Edwin's mom also lives in LA, I asked my parents to spend Christmas in LA. Australia kind of wiped out my PTO, so the shorter flight was also an attraction. It still feels weird for it to be Christmas and like 70 degrees outside. I know, I can hear those of you in the Midwest and East Coast groaning "cry my a river..." However, I miss the cold. Christmas is never the same without the snow. And since we got such a late start this year since we got back from Australia on the 11th (I know, I know, I still need to post all the activities from our trip), everything just feels so rushed. Luckily, we got most of our Christmas shopping done today. However, I think that Edwin and I will be getting each other late gifts this year.

We're spending most of our stay at Edwin's mom's house. My parents are coming on Christmas day and we'll go watch a movie together and have dinner together. Don't think it gets that much better than that. Reminds me of when we were kids and we would to Lisa's or Al's house and go watch a movie. Remember when we took up the first 2 rows watching "Scrooged?"

So I have been working hard at uploading the wedding photos. I am almost done. I uploaded the photographer's photos and I am almost done with the table photos. Still need to upload the honeymoon photos. Geez!

The good news is that we have written most of the Christmas cards on the flight over. We still need to write Thank You cards and clean the apartment. I can't wait until we have a garage sale so that we can get rid of some of the old stuff. We definitely have too much stuff right now.
