CHRISTMAS AT THE HAWLEY HOUSE

We spent the holidays with my family and boy was it crazy! We had a great time! It was nice to be warm and hard to come back to the 20 degree weather we are having right now!  I miss them and it is harder to get on a plane and zip to LA for the weekend now that I live so far away. We were busy, busy, busy! We went to a ton of holiday dinners and parties, did some serious shopping, went to the observatory, cleaned out my parents garage, Brian put a microwave over my mom's oven, we went to the Getty Villa, hung out with our family, went to the Bush's Boxing Day party, played a lot of Rockband, went to the rose parade, and did some more shopping. They opened a Ti-pan 40 minutes from my parents house we went twice! Ahhhh how I miss Ti-pan & Rod Works!!! The pictures are more fun than reading all the details so .... enjoy!

A coyote we saw in Griffith Park. Creepy!!!
Playing at the Carousel it was built in the 1920's! I used to go there a ton when I was little!!!

I'm glad you had a great holiday. I love those stores, too. In fact, my presents all came from rod works this year so I could put stuff on the walls of my bedroom. Love that place!
