Christmas Eve - Barreras

I LOVE THIS PARTY! I know I say it a lot, but the Alba party's are the best! They have awesome music, awesome food, and awesome company. Plus, the kids reenact the nativity story and they always have Tia Nelly dancing - best ever. This year Omar and his cute wife, Sesi (don't think I spelled that right), did a few dances as well! As you can tell, I think my little niece is the CUTEST little girl in the world!

Entertainment.

Telling Daddy Secrets.

Part Last - Huntington Beach Again...

Boardwalk.

Last of the Cali trip from December. The pictures of the bird below require explanation...this bird came straight from the fiery pit below. If people got too close, he seriously would freak out.  He even did the "crane" stance prepared to attack somone who was 10 feet away trying to take a picture with it. (see below) Anyway, this was one of the best trips ever. Love you, girls!

Part 3 - Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach was FAB! Don't be mad, but this is the first set of Huntington beach pics...I couldn't choose! I took over 500 pics at the beach so 32 isn't so bad right?? This post has 16 and the next will have 16.  It was so gorgeous! We had Hula Pie at Duke's and spent a few hours on the pier waiting for the sun to set. I had never seen surfers before, and you can tell by the pictures that I was COMPLETELY fascinated with them! They were so incredible. Surfing is definately on the bucket list. Enjoy!

The water looks like snow capped mountains.

Love the focal point on this one.

This kid was AWESOME!

Wipeout.

We totally thought this was a girl....but upon closer examination there was a moustache newly growing. OOPS.

Sitting on the wave.

ASHP December 2010 Part 2.

Part 2. How could I forget the Magic Castle?! This was definately one of the highlights of the trip. There is a reason there is only 1 picture from this event...they don't allow cameras! It is so secretive that we had to get an invite from a magician that is a part of their society. One of our professors happened to be one of these such magicians. It was amazing! We saw incredible magic, paid for over-priced food, and listened to Irma play the piano forever! They have a player piano that you tell it to play ANY song and she does it.  Amazing.

Next up, Disneyland. Need I say more?

Look at Yoda. He's a zombie too.

Classic. I think I probably have 50 of these photos from all of the times I've been to Disneyland.

Besties :)

 Round 1: Didn't work out so well...obvisouly.

Round 2: Not so bad.

Round 3: Stacy thought she could do it better - and she did to Becky's dismay.

Stacy's Classic Picture.

Love these girls!

BAHA! Seriously?

Stacy's hands are gone...

I scream.  You scream....

I seriously don't know where Stacy gets these faces. She is like the dictionary for awesome faces.

Mine and Stacy's hair is AWESOME! Becky and Em look so cute :)
