Christmas Parties, Baking & SCP!

We had our annual neighbor Christmas party and white elephant exchange...always a good time...we love our neighbors!

And I've been doing a lot of baking for neighbor gifts and dessert for the party...

During the day before the party, the kids and I ventured to South Coast Plaza...I thought it would be an absolute zoo, but it wasn't too crowded at all!  We browsed the Disney and Lego stores, threw pennies in the fountain, rode the all glass elevators, had some lunch and of course rode the reindeer carousel!
