T'was the night before Christmas...

I've got the blues...

Jeans: Target; Blazer: H&M; Top: Marshall's; Boots: Famous Footwear

For my blue jeans...that is! These babies caught my eye while shopping in Target.  Actually, I wanted the red jeans but sadly, they were out of my size.  I tried on the blue ones and fell in love with them.  I still want the red ones though and am hoping they get a new shipment in soon! Or just maybe Santa will bring them to me :)

Our Glowing Tree

Last night I was playing around with my camera settings trying to get that perfect Christmas Tree "glow" that I see others accomplish. After many pictures, I think I got it!  See if you can spot Snickers under the tree?

Dear Santa...

O'Christmas Tree, O'Christmas Tree

I love getting a "real" Christmas tree every year. We picked ours out and brought it home to decorate on Saturday.

Placerita Canyon Park

Sunday we drove literally across the street from our house to the Placerita Canyon Park to explore the trails.  We always see so many cars coming and going from there but we weren't sure if we could do the trails with Holly and how safe they were.  To our surprise, there were so many families out there hiking and they have so many trails to choose from.  The paths are clearly marked and the scenery is to die for, especially right now with the trees changing and all.  We hiked the trails 2 miles and decided we would come back another day and do the 5 mile hike to the waterfalls.  It was a great ending to our Thanksgiving weekend together.
