This weekend was full of Christmas holiday fun.....we started Friday night enjoying the inaugural concert at San Diego Museum of Man with the Gary Jules benefit concert. Adam, Shannon, Kristen and Brian met us there for a fantastic night. K & B had a babysitter and it was the first time we have been out for an adults only night in about 4.5 years. At first they were all sceptical of what we had invited them to. As we started to hear the magic of Gary's voice and the incredible acoustics of that 100 year old dome it was thrilling to see all 4 of the 'kids' skepticism turn to smiles and become mesmerized with each note and sound. They even bought all his cd's! We loved every minute and it was great to donate to the Museum for the positive changes that are being made. 
Saturday afternoon Kristen and I were invited to an English Christmas Tea with some old friends and some new friends. We had a delightful afternoon sipping English tea and having traditional tea sandwiches and scones. It was fun to sit around and be leisure and enjoy sharing stories and conversation on everything fun and nothing important!
Saturday night Steve and I went to our 21st anniversary of our neighborhood Christmas party. The first year we moved in we invited the neighbors over for a Christmas dinner. It became a tradition and even tho almost everyone has moved away but we have always gotten together for dinner and ornament exchange for the ladies and tool exchange for the men - where we 'steal'. This year we went to Carlsbad! We had a wonderful dinner, lots of laughs and fun conversation and were entertained by a guest entertainer with some wonderful piano playing of Christmas songs on our friends incredible grand piano.Sunday I helped sew some warm fuzzy blankets for some geriatric people to keep them warm at the holidays and all year.....it is a great start to the Christmas holidays!
