An afternoon at the ICA

Anza Borrego Desert

Really enjoyed having time after Christmas to spend in Anza Borrego - the hikes, colors, and best of all, the company. Loved having Aunt Gail, Scott and Lauren with us for a second year, and relaxing time with family. We missed Chloe this year since she had to return to Oregon for work. Richard and Susan planned a surprise secret outing, which was an incredible moon-rise picnic and fire out in the middle of the desert. Unforgettable and an incredible way to close out 2012.

some (belated) holiday photos...

 

Somehow January is almost over and I am not just posting photos from the holidays in CA. These images include Hanukkah with Tata, Christmas Eve with the Serranos, Christmas morning at home with Leah and James, a Christmas beach walk, and the annual post-Christmas enchilada / family time at Aunt Gail's!

a happy birthday to Nora...

 

Some of my favorite photos of one of my favorite people! Hoping for a wonderful year and a very happy birthday to Nora! So grateful for the memories and for the ones to come in 2013. xoxoxo
