Kissing balls for the three cutie pies...order & so sweet! wednesday my mom & dad & i will be heading to the dresser for my first fitting! i can't wait to try on my dress again. i know there is more that we have done the last few weeks but my mind is all over the place & i am struggling to stay focused. you know i have a REAL job too?? :)

Happy Birthday to me!

27...yep, you read correctly! i cannot believe, i am now, officially in my LATE 20's. this is the first birthday i have felt old. so sad. hello...one more year & i have been out of high school for ten stinkin' years! honestly. it feels like i just graduated.

my bday is the 27th of December. isn't that like my golden birthday or something? same day as age?

anyways...another very special person also celebrates her birthday that day too! Happy 28th Birthday, Anna! Hope you guys had a fantastic weekend in San Diego celebrating!

for my birthday...i worked in the morning. which is totally WRONG. i don't think it should be legal. in all honesty is wasn't too bad but i would of course prefer to not work on my birthday.
after work, Jason & I met up with my parents at Disneyland! Dland was short lived when we realized that everyone else had the same plan. one ride & out. we ended up in california adventure the rest of the day. we had a blast. jason had never been...so that made it even more fun. my dad & mom waited for like a 1/2 just to get me the happy birthday button. the importance of the button you ask? all of the dland workers say "happy birthday, megan!" AND one random, kinda creepy park guest.

the jungle cruise...the one ride & out.

hollywood tower of terror! fantastic!
do you see my poor mom?
front row, second from the right, smashed by the larger gentlman on her left? YIKES!

Wee!

Bugs life! i know you are diggin' the new lenses!

do you see my birthday button?

i hope you all had a fantastic holiday season...

wishing you & yours a ridiculously phenomenal 2009!

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

but this Christmas season has been so delightful!

so i am weeks behind in my updates! life has been hectic...we are squeezing a lot onto our plates!

so...let's get to the holiday goodies!
the floods hosted a dinner party about two weeks ago! the 2nd annual. we had a blast hangin' with friends, eating a great meal & a fun white elephant couples gift exchange!

Check out Lindsey's gorgeous holiday decor! don't you love that old window with the wreath? i do! i do!



Anyone need a good laugh? the photo above is just a teaser...jump over the Lindsey's blog to check out the video that goes with this photo! Laugh OUT Loud funny!!

thanks linds & justin for a fantastic holiday get together!

NEXT UP...

the gang (jason, me, anna, my mom & dad) taking a pic in front of her work.
jer was still out of town shooting his new T.V. show...he was SUPER missed!

a close up of one of her shots. she did her project observing people in line. each photo was taken in a different setting but all of people in line. her artist statement was awesome & really made you think about each individual standing in line. So cool...
Love ya Anna!!

Christmas Eve & Christmas...

jason & i hosted our families for christmas eve. this was our first holiday we have EVER hosted. slightly nerve racking. our house wasn't feeling very festive because we had decided to not get a tree & i have been so busy that i only pulled out a couple of decorations...that quickly changed when we realized we would be having guests.

we got a tree. and yes, brought it home in the back of jason's convertible. only in california!

i went to the LA flower mart...finally...for some gorgeous floral decor! i have been wanting to go for years. best part...it so wasn't a disappointment. i am now addicted.

and some fun festive touches in the house including garland with ornaments & lights on the banister (not pictured).

and of course got some great rentals from a little event rental company that we like to use to enhance the scrumptious flowers.

yes, we are losers...total losers! we didn't take any pictures of the guests that night. hosting & being the photographer is a BIG task. we are still working on mastering it!

AND again...we are losers...Christmas Day photos you ask? you won't be seeing any from our camera. why you ask? because we didn't bring the camera to my parents' house. we spent the day with them, jer, anna, my grandma & grandpa AND the newlyweds...Geoff & Marcia Graham.

we stayed until 1:40am playing games, laughing and telling stories! such a blast. we walked out to ice on the cars...so much so...my back door got stuck from the ice! NUTS...especially for california!

i hope you all had a splendid Christmas season! Merry Christmas to you & yours!
xo!
