Birthday, Christmas and New Years

Birthday

What an awesome birthday...me and my man Dan took our own tour of Dash, Greystone Manor, My Name is Earl, Grey´s Anatomy and Back to the Future. Got a Sprinkles cupcake from an ATM and had Burger King where Doc Brown´s house (from Back to the Future) used to be. When I came home he gave me my awesome present....a Minnie Mouse Snuggie and hat. It´s soooo adorable and comfortable! Ended the night at Blue Palms Brewhouse, him with the best beer in USA and me with a cosmo.  I survived the rockstar age of 27 and think 28 will be an awesome one.

Dec.21
Saved Dan's friends from LAX and we took them to their friends in Hermosa Beach where we went to a British pub Underground as well as hung out with his friend.

Dec.24
Celebrated Christmas by skype-ing my family in Iceland at noon and then had Filet Mignon and red wine with my husband while watching White Christmas (starring Dan´s favourite actor Danny Kaye) and Jingle All the Way (90´s). Merry Christmas or as we say in Iceland "Gleðileg jól!"

Dec.25
Spent American Christmas (Dec.25) working at the Sugar Factory with fun co-workers selling tons of couture pops. Ended the night with my husband Dan and our awesome friends Bunny and Kent, who cooked a delicious meal for us (glazed ham, with green bean casserole, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, mashed potatoes, fudge, and chocolate torte). Topped it off with game night. Reminded me of Christmas at home. Great day!

Was working at the Sugar Factory during the holidays and on New Years Eve we went to Viv/Alex´s place for a little party. Hard to top last year, where Dan proposed at Disneyland so I was just happy to spend the new year with my husband happy in love. Happy 2014!!!!
