We spent the end of 2012 with my mother-in-law who stayed with us for a week. It was her first time back to Southern California since she was a little girl so we really wanted to show her a good time!

{Laguna Beach. The water was cold!}

{Rose Bowl Parade}
{snuck out for New Year’s to a nearby hotel and bar—so fun!}
It’s always a little bittersweet taking the Christmas decorations down but some big events are coming up this year. Mike’s birthday is this month and Mia turns 2 in March! Also two of my best friends, including this lady (can’t wait to follow along!) and sister-in-law are giving birth this year. For myself, I am back to eating clean and exercising regularly. I hope to document this along the way. I couldn’t be more excited for 2013! Cheers!

THanks Clare! Happy New year to you!
DeleteLooks like you guys has a great end to 2012! I'm a little jealous that you are so close to the beach... The frozen lakes here in MN just aren't cutting it.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely don't take advantage of it more! Hope you guys are staying warm!
DeleteI agree that taking down Christmas was harder this year as it brought so much excitement but the beginning of 2013 holds so many things to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteLove those beach pics!
So true in that we can find excitement in the year ahead! We still have ours up actually, takng it down this week! Now we are just getting lazy, lol!
DeleteIs the Huntington Gardens where the recent Bachelorette wedding was? Random, I know... But I just watched the wedding of Ashley & JP and they were at these Gardens I think!? Pasadena is so pretty! xo
ReplyDeleteNo she got married at the Langham Hotel which is very beautiful too! We like to go for drinks at their bar! You can get married at the gardens too--I am sure it's a pretty penny!
DeleteI love the pictures. It looks like you had a great time!
