new years.

we have said goodbye to 2011 and we are now into 2012.

to celebrate the new year, i had a lovely visit from andru. 

we had too much fun.

wine tasting on a date with mama in los olivos.

andru sits in front because he gets carsick, and it is such a joy to listen to him and my mom bonding and genuinely enjoying each others company.

that night we had game night with my mom and dad. we pulled out the roulette table and had a blast.

breakfast with my grandparents at apple farm.

we took a little stroll after with my [80 YEAR OLD] grandparents down to this waterfall.

we made dinner for date night.

andru grilled steak and i made goat cheese & herbed mashed potatos and spiced veggies.

 we enjoyed some california reserve wine too.

 san francisco for new years.

we met up with some friends and had the best view in the city for fireworks.

we spent some time with jordie, and enjoyed sightseeing and dining.

had visitors in san luis.

paul, jade & aziel came to visit san luis. i was the tour guide, with help from the expert.. andru fleenor.
