The ___________est house in LA!


Our favorite house in LA is down the street a ways from our house on 3rd street.




Here are some pictures I found on Google. I lose my mind every time we pass the house. It's called Youngwood Court. We heard Dennis Rodman used to own this house.



Here is a picture of last year's Christmas decorations (I guess, since it says 2008). Check out Mr. & Mrs. Claus! They were out this year too!










Here are the pictures I took from the car a few nights ago. They DO NOT do justice. It is spectacular and by far the _______est house in LA!!!





Happy New Year 2009!!
Love,
Tia, baby t, Troy and me!!

Cookie party!

We had a cookie decorating party with our friend Brianna (aka Abby Cadabby II). Decorating cookies is so much fun and makes a huge, yummy mess!





It's hard to tell the cookies from the girls! Yum!



They worked really hard to make their cookies beautiful!


We were sure to follow all of the steps for perfect pastry...

And, here they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







PERFECTION!
