christmas music for Papa

So- growing up, my dad;Papa, would BLAST Manheim Steamroller during the Holidays and we would always roll our eyes and say, "Dad!!!"
But now- here we are blasting Manheim Steamroller and LOVING it! Linden loves it and we've been dancing and blasting Christmas music every night! Thanks dad for the years of blasting Christmas music...the tradition continues at the Hamilton's!

Thatcher laughing....so cute!

Dance party usa

Our playgroup holiday party was at Suzanne's last night, and we had a little too much fun! We drank awesome rasberry martinis and had a late night dance party. It was so fun to hang out and "be merry" without the kiddos!! Hammy danced the night away and came home to pass out on the living room floor!

Atherton home tour

Tira and I went on a "finishing Touches" home tour on Saturday in Atherton. It was so amazing, the homes were just perfect! We saw 4 houses that were worth millions each that were lavishly decked out for the holidays. One word; Amazing!!


The dissappearing wall that opened to the guest house and pool.



This was the guest house with an outdoor living room; oversized seating, a fireplace and tv!!



The back of the house, with a simulated ice rink!! They have three boys that play hockey in the back yard!
This house also featured a 5kw fuel cell that powered the house! Awesome!!

Santa at The Four Seasons

(Santa looks drunk- a little too much eggnog Santa??)

Linden made an ornament and hung it on their tree- it will go to needy families in the area- it was a hard sell- she wanted to take it home!

Four Seasons- only 5 minutes from us!

Daddy!

They had The Polar Express playing too!

It's snowing Mommy!

( I said, under my breath, "it's bubbles Linden"!)

We went to the Holiday Tree lighting party at the Four Seasons down the street on Monday- Linden got to sit on Santa's lap- she asked him for a Tinkerbell nightgown and CD player!! It was too cute. They had roasted chestnuts and coca and fun activities for the kids. SNOW too! It was just a bubble snow machine- but Linden screams "It's snowing!" like a true California girl!! Pretty sad if you ask me! They should have real snow!!! Anyway- it was fun and Brett met us after work and had a great time!
