On Super Surprises

I left for the airport on Thursday thinking I was going to the windy city to tag along on a work trip for my hubby.   I was honestly dreading the wind and COLD temperatures (even went and bought long undies.)   We arrived at the Dallas airport to make the connecting flight and I looked up and saw the gate said “San Diego” instead of “Chicago.”  ???? That’s when he whipped out a jersey that said “THE BIG 40!”… (WHAT?)

Me & My Cali Buds Tailgating

We got to tailgate with my best bud and her hubby and watch the Chargers win!

Misty Del Mar Morning

I didn’t miss the snow a bit, and loved hearing the waves crash on the beach at night (with the windows open!) cappuccinos on the patio,  facials, massages…. Scott spoils me and might regret it now!

Poinsettias In Bloom
 Can’t believe he pulled one over on me. 
My Sweet Man
I think 40 is going to be fine. 

Nutcracker Blues

Whew! Our 6th Nutcracker season is officially over!

This year all three of my munchkins were in the show so we have been BUSY! 
It’s always a bittersweet thing when it’s done…
Happy we don’t have anything but ballet on Saturdays now and no more practices,

Overjoyed watching the process and the beautiful ballet (great job to all dancers!)
Glad I made it through without strangling any children or their parents (came close a few times,)
Sad that I won’t see some friends until next August at try-outs (if we are all that brave again.)

I must say I enjoyed this year’s production so much (and not just because my kids were all adorable!)  Ballet Arkansas and the young dancers were all so brilliant.  I tried to not watch rehearsals this year and was glad because I was surprised and thrilled when I got to see the whole ballet.
 

My Party Boy
Finally!
“Hark!” The herald angel

                                                       My feet hurt but my heart is full!

On November

I haven’t been posting like I want to, so decided to make a collage of last month’s memories…

Petit Jean, hubby’s 40th surprise party, Thanksgiving…

A lot to be thankful for!
