We're takin off....

In just a few weeks we're headed on another adventure to see the world!!!  We feel very blessed to have the oppurtunity to travel and get to experience other cultures and lifestyles. Since booking our flights a few months ago it has been so hard to focus on anything but our trip, we are stoked! Here's the run down on the places we'll see

We'll cruise the Rhine River and sleep in charming Bacharach, Germany

Then explore the Romantic Road and Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Munich and Neuschwanstein Castle

Salzburg, Austria

Berchtesgaden and Hitler's Eagle's Nest

Prague, I've always dreamed of seeing this city! 

Berlin

Copenhagen

Stockholm

That's it peeps! We are planning away and can't wait! Have you been to any of these places? Any tips? Must sees, eat, or do?! We wanna know! 

Thanksgiving 2012

We enjoyed our first Thanksgiving in our new home in 2012. Janet and Keith, Rob's parents, joined us as well as our friend and neighbor, Ben. It was nice to have help in the kitchen (as opposed to this year) and fun company. We mixed in a few traditions from both of our families and it was a delight. We finished the evening with desserts over at our besties house and we had WAY too much pie! 

Why do I not use the tripod?!

Handsome guy, pretty table 

Janet making her delicious butter flake rolls, if she consents I'll share the recipe!

Ok, here's the deal with this, Rob has the LOUDEST and most obnoxious clap ever. Be glad this is not a video

Loving on our sweet Bear boy

See what I mean about too much pie...

The end of a great holiday. We love our besties! 

Some running gear

I recently got some awesome new running gear and have had lots of questions about some of it. I thought I would share that these pants are from nike and they are the relay print women's capris! They rock, for reals. Go grab some here

Are you blessed with awesome in-laws?!

My in-laws are da bomb, for reals. I know lots of people who have such a hard time with their in-laws and I am oh so thankful that I have never once had any difficulties with mine. Janet and Keith leave on the east coast and we obviously live on the west. It makes our visits only happen once or twice a year, sad! We always make the most of our visits with them though! Whenever they come see us it is a given that we take a trip to Disneyland. I'm not sure how I scored Rob, who loves Disneyland AND in-laws who love it as much as I do!!! This last Thanksgiving they came to spend with us and obviously...

...we went to D-land.

During the Christmas season at Disneyland, they have loads of awesome activities for children of all ages! We loved taking some time to slow down and do some fun holiday traditions together. We decorated some Mickey sugar cookies, visited Mrs. Claus and saw Santa's reindeer! Disneyland has so much to offer its visitors. We're planning on doing a Disneyland "tips" post, so be watching for it!

While heading home, back to the desert, we stopped to watch the sunset. Oh how I love you, gorgeous California. 

How do you have fun with your in-laws?!?
