Time is flying by. We've been busy little bees, going nonstop. I am really looking forward to Christmas break so that we can relax and just spend some lazy time together with our families.
On November 30th we scored sweet tickets to a party at the Rockefeller Center for the lighting of the Christmas Tree. It was magical & such a fun kick-off to the holiday season. Justin Bieber was prerecorded so we totally missed out on his performance! I thought Mckay was going to cry. JK. We were mostly there for the food (amazing) & the glowing 80 foot tree.

A few weeks later (Dec 9) we flew to LAX to attend a wedding in Palm Springs. Not just any wedding, a gay, 60's themed wedding, quite the experience. The ceremony, reception and farewell breakfast were held at the legendary Riviera Hotel. The groom (well, one of them) was Mckay's college roommate, football teammate & good friend.
Saturday morning we strolled around the downtown area and I got a pedicure, Mckay got a massage & we had a delicious Mexican lunch together. That night was the wedding ceremony & reception, the venue was fabulous & everything looked perfect. Ryan (groom #2) is a Hollywood/Broadway-type so all of the entertainment was provided by their Broadway-type friends. One song was performed by "Christine" from Phantom of the Opera, yes, my jaw was on the floor. We had a grand time dancing & mingling with all sorts of souls.
(Immediate stop an In-n-Out the hour we landed, I've missed it.)

(11pm, right before we left the wedding, which went until 2am.)

(Funny "do not disturb" sign at the hotel, I was so amused.)
Lest I forget to mention- our weekend highlights:
Mckay: Meeting Stephanie Tanner from Full House. She is (of course) a good friend of the couple & Graham introduced us. Mckay had stars in his eyes, apparently she was the hot-ticket item for him 20 years ago.
Nicki: Nothing so life changing as Mckay's, BUT I did meet Kristina & Zack from Oprah's Own Show. Kristina & I had on very similar dresses & she was so darling & said she loved mine. I loved it. If you didn't watch the show (we did because Ryan was on it) you have no idea who these people are, but they're great.
