It's not the White House lawn or Rockefeller Center, but El Segundo lights a pretty nice tree.
The event did involve the most legit Santa visit ever, as Mattel volunteers were on hand to distribute free toys to the underprivileged children of the west side. Many of these children only have one iPad.
With Laura and I rushing from work to make the event Thea was responsible for dropping off the kids. She got plenty of love in return.
While we can't build a snowman in Los Angeles, we did the next best thing and caught Frozen in 3D. The soundtrack has since been in heavy rotation at the Jordan house.
Our little landscaping project really took on a life of it's own, and now we're just a Mario Batali visit away from having Mozza in our backyard. The keg of
El Segundo's Citra Pale Ale is a nice addition as well.
While we have plans to do the real thing in the mountains over New Years, a little beach sledding always makes it feel like the holiday season.
The first time Carson and I took to these
hills together we
nearly snapped cousin Mary Jane's tibia. These runs were slightly less traumatic.
We were bound and determined to get our SoCal themed Christmas card image, and with more than a little bribery were successful.
In our first year as El Segundo residents we feel significantly more entitled to multiple Candy Cane Lane visits.
We're so accustomed to being here we even stop by in pajamas.
With an early flight out to the Southeast, Pageant season was conveniently scheduled to all occur on the same day. First up was a dress rehearsal at Redwood Village.
Followed by the real deal at Richmond Street School.
