Pics of the weekend

As I promised yesterday, I have some fun pics of my visit to southern California.  It seemed like it was a non-stop weekend and by the time I flew home last night, I didn't get to bed until after midnight so today was a day to catch up on laundry, my Demonstrator website and getting ready for the Birthday Blitz this weekend.  First here are some pics of my fun weekend.

 Kristen enjoyed learning how to make a box with our new Boxmaker Punch Board.

 Kristen made all of the cards that I brought to share so that she could then teach them to her friends.

 The ladies had a great time making the cards that I shared last week

My sister, Beth, Kristen's good friend Kathryn, Niece Kristen and Beth's coworker Moniece.

When I visit my family, they love to share all of their favorite restaurants and discover new ones with me.  On this trip, we went to Northridge Mall on Friday night for some wonderful seafood.

 My Seafood Ceviche with a big bowl of Mussels that we all shared.

Sister, Beth's wonderful Bang, Bang Shrimp

We love to just munch on appetizers and light dishes instead of going for big dinners.  We always share with each other.  My favorite way to eat.  Saturday night, we went to Santa Monica and when their first choice had a long waiting time, we strolled the streets and settled on a Hawaiian themed restaurant called the Makai Lounge where we were able to watch my Washington State Cougars battle the Oregon Ducks while sharing lots of Sushi, Crispy Duck and a wonderful Hot Chocolate Cake with creamy ice cream.  No pics as it was too dark to get any good ones.  Sunday, they were going to take me downtown on the subway to the fashion district to check out the street carts, but with so many good football games on, we opted to hit the Buffalo Wild Wings at Northridge Mall again for an afternoon of spicy chicken wings, fried pickles and great football.  We watched the end of Son's Patriots game and then hung out through Kristen's 49ers and my Seahawks.  My sister decided that I was not attired properly so she went shopping while we waited for our table and came back with a proper shirt just in time for the start of my team's game.

Yes, I am a big Russell Wilson fan.

Today I had a lot of fun getting ready for my Birthday Blitz so I played with the Four Feathers Bundle from the Holiday mini and copied a bunch of projects from Pinterest.  I'll share those pics tomorrow as I have made this blog way too long already.
