Another beautiful day in paradise

in lieu of christmas tree...

...because of maggie. Luckily my mom was here to turn our house into winter wonderland sans tree. Although, we do have a small rosemary tree that we decorated AND a little 3 footer in our herb window. It's a mini-christmas.

Another plant bites the dust.

Go Gauchos!

Been to some great UCSB basketball games this month. Gotta love the gauchos!

Thanksgiving, SB

It was great to have my mom and dad in town for Thanksgiving. It was a festive 'international' thanksgiving...our friends Leoni and Sam from England and Alex who hails from Mexico. Here we are with our pilgrim hats, photo taken for my sister (see Kelly's thanksgiving photo above). And yep, another gorgeous day in Santa Barbara.
