Christmas is on the Way

 I finally have my tree up! I know, it's not even December yet, but my goal was to have it up the day after Thanksgiving. I, unfortunately, had to work that day, and the Saturday after, so I didn't have much time. I just had to do a little by little each day until it was done today. 

Yes, our tree is in the kitchen ... because that's the spot we have for it haha this house has a very odd layout. But I love it, and it's a great place, and central viewing as soon as you walk in the front door. And now the rest of the house is complete, so it's time to celebrate the holidays! 

Tiny Hot Dog

Look at this tiny tiny hot dog slider sandwich. 

That is all.

Happy Santa!

Epifanio is here to help kick off the holiday season, now that Thanksgiving is over with. 

Thanksgiving!

 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! This will be my first Thanksgiving in 30-mumbles years that I haven't been at my family's house. It's a wild first to have to do, but we all have to do it at some point! So it was just Husband and I for the day, and I actually didn't even do a turkey trot this year (I don't know how the racing scene in Cali works yet, I still have a lot to learn about this area) so it was just a weird year in general. For dinner, one of Husband's co-workers came over with his family, so we had a bit of interaction outside ourselves. It was fun to get to know new people, but of course I stressed about meeting strangers all day long haha. 

Then, in the evening, I got a pic of Lady G's Thanksgiving outfit, and boy, it did not disappoint. 

More Reunited with More Babies

 Since I was in the area, I of course had to see all of my babies. Since I have a bit of a cold, I met with Lady G and her mom (my cousin) in the park and we had an outdoor walk, just to avoid germs as best as we could. 

But I had to get in for some snuggles! She's too cute to resist. 

Concert Night!

 Tonight was the concert! We finally got to see Maneskin in all their glory. For those that don't know anything about them, they are an Italian rock group - and their songs are so fun. Here's a band pic:

Here they are directly after winning Eurovision in 2021. And of course I didn't take any pics at the concert, because I never do haha I'm always just in the moment. So it was a blast, I blew out of my voice, I had hearing loss (probably not, but everything was so faint that night haha) and then when we finally got home (long after my bedtime!) we found Epifanio, and he had fallen asleep in the best way. 

Of course he fell asleep on his iPad, and I needed to snag a pic both with and without that haha. But look at this sweet baby boy, awww. 

Reunited and it Feels So Good

 I had to go to Utah this week - and by had, I mean, I got to! There is a band that I found on Eurovision last year that is my sisters favorite band of all time. So when we heard they were coming to SLC, we got tickets as fast as we could. Then, many months later, I moved to Cali. So of course I had to fly in to experience the fun. I got there tonight and immediately got to see my babies. 

We were so glad to see each other, I miss seeing these goobers several times a week! 

Stranger Things Lego

 I have finished my first big Lego project in the new house! For my birthday I was given the Stranger Things Lego set. I had to wait until we moved to do it (there was no way I was going to risk losing pieces in the move haha) And today, I finally finished it, it only took two months after moving in to start and finish the set. 

It's so dang cool! Everything on one side is replicated on the other side - just in a dark and creepy way, so it's a really cool mirror image of itself. 

Such a Smiley Gal

 I can't get enough of this little niece of mine. She's so dang happy and smiley all the time, and every picture of her brings me joy. 

Come on, just look at that face! Too cute. 

Adios to Family

 We had more family members show up to visit (they were all visiting Disneyland, how lovely for us to live so close!) ad we got to hang out today as a whole big group. We snagged a pic before people left for the airport, now that I'm older I appreciate commemorating these moments. 

So fun! 

Blogging Every Day?

 I know that every year, in November, it's National Blog Every Day month. 

However

This year, I really don't think I could do it. I have so much less content for myself, being with just Husband in a new state, no tiny humans around to play with, and nothing really going on. So I'll just blog my normal amount and so sorry to anyone (I know it's nobody) that was expecting me to follow through on tradition. I'm doing my best over here!
