Christmas in San Diego

For the holidays we took off to the wonderful place of San Diego! Both of our families live there so we were able to spend lots of time with both of them. It was tons of fun, besides the fact that I almost froze to death! --but Seth was there to keep me warm. One of my favorite parts was seeing my doxies back home. I swear every time I see Hammy I'm afraid its the last...but he seems to be as perky and healthy as ever, regardless how incredibly old he is!


When we first got home, we ritually we went to Disneyland (of course!)

We had a lot of fun! For some unknown reason, there were no lines ANYWHERE and we walked on everything! Seth says that he doesn't think he can ever go back to a crowded Disneyland

We went on every ride like 3 times or more! I also really loved how the castle was decorated.


A few days laters, we spent Christmas morning at my family's house, and then the afternoon and evening dinner at Seth's house/grandparent's house. It was a lot of fun! I was really happy that I got to play with all of my cute nieces and nephews and all of their new Christmas presents. They are the most adorable little kids ever. I was also really happy to see all of our family that we haven't seen in a while!

After Christmas, we made a last minute decision to go to Vegas for our 1-year anniversary! Our first year of marraige was awesome, and what better way to top it off than to go on a crazy trip to Vegas!?! It was a BLAST! We got to go to the sweet outlet malls on the way up and found a bunch of cool stuff. We made it past the horrific new years traffic to our hotel (the Monte Carlo) which was really nice!

Seth was a sweetheart and took me out to dinner and gave me a beautiful necklace and matching pair of earrings. I love him! We ate dinner at ESPN zone, which is one of my favorite places to eat--you get to watch a game on the TV at your table, and then on the huge screen on the wall---and then eat food at the same time!!!!! haha.
I loved walking around vegas and seeing all of the cool hotels and shops. It was such an adventure!

The pretty Paris hotel..

Inside the Bellagio...




Outside by the fountain..


at night when it was going off..

One of my favorite places was M&M world! I got to pick out a bunch of different colored M&M's


The best part was we got to go see the Blue Man Group! It was great! We both loved it. I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the show, but I got one of us with some of the loads and loads of paper that they used in the show and told us to decorate ourselves. haha. I got a distant shot of one of the blue men after the show...




We spent another week in San Deigo and then flew back to Hawaii! We had so much fun this Christmas break. We picked up fatty, who stayed with grandma over the break and is now as fat as ever. We're glad to have him back!

Now we're here in school again, looking forward to the summer!
