Life is happening.

We've been rather busy. We went up to the mountains in Idyllwild, Ca (about 2 hours away) with some friends for a night this weekend (thanks Eric and Meg!) The weather was very "fallish" up there which felt awesome. I was so inspired by the good food and cold weather that I came home and have spent the last 2 days (on my "down" time) writing out all of our Thanksgiving/ holiday cards, planning our Thanksgiving meal and decking our halls with Christmas decor.
Eric is about to lose his mind already from the Frank Sinatra Holiday songs, pine scented candles and Yuletide "knick knacks" that keep appearing.

(Just for the record, it was the boys' job to put the stamps on our holiday cards. So if the stamp is sideways, upside down or just plain crooked.....it wasn't the wine.)



Looking for snow.




Out for a stroll.

Hudson and E (as a ninja.) Playing in the tiny patch of snow.



Not palm trees.




Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree.




Elf on a shelf. He will be arriving tonight and is the "tool" (the magic) used to sweetly threaten my 4 year old that Christmas WILL be canceled if you piss him off too many times. The Elf is watching..........
