Finally.

I have sorted through Christmas.
And New Years. 
I cut and pasted pictures into folders.
The tree is finally at the curb.
Clutter has been dusted into the sky...
Stuff that needs a home, but really doesn't have a room, found it's way into "A" bin.
All the cute Christmas cards are down, and gone.  Some were absolutely adorable.
There are some lights still up.  Some I actually love.  And for that reason, will stay for a while.
Christmas Day was spent at The Gaylord home, and it was warm, and perfect. 80 in the harbor. Who could complain.
New Year's was spent over on Catalina.  With "The Six Pack".  The word perfect, is an understatement.
All of it.  The ride over.  The calm water.  The mooring, side tied to the other 2 lovers.
The hotel, the restaurant, the.....just everything. 
The ride back, was enchanting.  For anyone that follows us on Instagram was lucky enough to see the creatures out in the wide open seas.  Dolphins, whales, Sea Lions....all of it.  Blessed our New Year's Day.

Stay tuned while I get back in the groove of work, the weekend, and prepping Winter Formal girl.
(This deserves a whole separate post coming up soon...Gio, over the top again....)

Happy New Year guys!  Thank goodness for a clean house, and a full fridge.

Peace to you...from our family to yours.

Sneak peek of what was.....like a serious whirlwind. 

Cousins+Grandparents.....Christmas Day 2013

Short Sleeves Christmas Day...2013 - Eighty Degrees

My boy.  And Destiny....

Soon, we'd head to the lake.  Bright and early.

On Christmas Eve, this girl here was lucky enough to catch the flu-
Fever, chills, no appetite, and lots of bed rest.  She rallied for Christmas Day with plenty of Dayquil, Tylenol, and more dayquil.  She was quite the mess.  Poor thing.

Our trip to the lake was to tuck all the fun away until Springtime. We make the best of our hardwork, that's for sure.

 Maintenance, maintenance...schmaintenance..... All part of the deal, right?

 And while we cleaned, Miss Kali experimented with my new lens.  Action shot? 

 I love these shots.  So pure and organic-

Chapter Eighteen. 

Sickie girl feeling better?

Our three day wrap up was filled with work, good times and of course, as always the most superb sunsets.  Soon we'd pack it up, and head back to prep for the next shin-dig-
New Years! 

Stay tuned for that trip.

Until then, wave goodbye to this beautiful place....

See you in the Spring.

Boom.

Happy Monday Marshmallows. 

Who's feeling rather plush lately, raise your hand....(hand is raised. ugh)

This happy Mama Lisa
