One Love

The Original LP hit another milestone on the 23rd. The cousins, uncles, and aunts, and I all gathered at Leucadia Pizzeria to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. I proudly picked out the cake from VG's (the local donut shop soo much better thank Kingpin) and purchased some running items for LP in hopes that he can now keep up on our beach runs.

The following evening the Schmuckle family and I went to dinner at the Fish House and continued the tradition of attending the annual "Festival of Christmas" play in Cornado. Dinner included oysters on a half shell and various other seafood items.

I however, abstained from the oyster-vodka-hot sauce-horse radish-shooters that Kyle and Uncle Brian downed. It looked foul. The play was an assortment of Christmas songs and stories, complete with a reggae rendition of Silent Night. Then it was back to the Saloon for another high school reunion - minus the snake bite shots.

And on and on -- the dream continues today with another beach run, preping for Christmas Day, and happy hour at the local sushi restaurant for dinner and the Charger's game.

wow homie, glad to see your livin the dream!! Beach runs and amazing dinners. Gosh I miss nate's yummy dinners. I ate my mom's pre-frozen microwave dinner pasta last night which of course had me yearning for some of nate's yummy Pasta. its difficult to go from a meal that includes the best appetizer you've ever tasted, along with some of the most delicious pasta you've ever had, then the best chicken dish you'e ever had, and then a dessert on top of that! While I am so grateful for Nat'es cooking you guys may be happy to know that I was trying on jeans the other day and realized Nate may be giving me a little to much love.... I was a siz 4 and now I'm a size 7.....ouch! Time to get running again! :)
