Wow, it has been a very long while since I have put together a Photo Fun Day Friday post. It has really been a whirlwind of a few weeks, the holiday season seriously flew by, in a blink of an eye it went from Thanksgiving to New Years, it’s insane. So much going on! OK enough chatter, here’s a glimpse of the last few weeks. This might be the biggest Photo Fun Day Friday, yet!

Hope you all had a lovely holiday season and are excited for all that lies ahead in 2014! I know I am.

Our little Seri girl got sick, which meant I had to skip the road trip to San Francisco for our last holiday show of the year. I stayed home, nursed my baby back to health and we cuddled and watched Christmas movies together. Not a bad deal, afterall.

I made a super yummy dark chocolate peppermint tart for our Christmas Eve dinner that we hosted. I used this crust recipe, this filling (though I went with 10 ounces of dark chocolate and 3/4 cup of coconut milk, I left out the berries and I added some peppermint extract) and I topped with crushed candy canes.

The crew of New Year’s Eve ladies for our Big Bear rager. Such a fun night! I made a feast, we played games, rang in both the east coast new year and the west coast, enjoyed the hot tub and probably drank more prosecco than we should have 😉

I am not sure I will ever get over the incredible beauty here in California. Seriously amazing, everywhere you look. This was a view on our drive home from Big Bear.
