cirque du soleil - amaluna

we watched amaluna under the big top in downtown san jose.  we went last year too and i think we'll make it a tradition and go every year.  such an awesome show. the performers were amazing - crazy flexibility and balance.  

love the hats!

snug fit

i saw this lady walking her dog who was wearing a fleece sweater and asked her where she got it because i wanted one for dexter.  he gets cold easily and thought he would love it.

what a handsome little fella!  :)

happy valentine's day

i was going to do a candy table at work, but my boss suggested to do a fruit table instead and below is what i came up with.  everyone loved it.  :)

ferris wheel with fruit in cupcake holders

i also put fruit in wine glasses

saw this little plant project on martha stewart - put succulents in wood papercup (i lined it with dixie cup).  everyone in the office received a plant.  

winnie the pooh photomosaic puzzle

aaron and i like working on photomosaic puzzles.  this one we did during new year's - aaron did the majority of it because it didn't come with a poster (so i can use to help me locate where the pieces would go), so i only helped with the borders.  :)

there are scenes within each piece of the puzzle

happy birthday stephanie!

i'm a little behind on my posting.  been really busy at work and also been lazy.  :)  we celebrated stephanie's 34th birthday early in january.  you don't look a day older than 29!

hot chocolate run

a crisp morning for a race - so glad that jared was there to drop us off and picked us up as there was no parking whatsover.  there was a 5k (3.1 miles) and 15k (10 miles).  so glad i did the 5k.  :)  love the hot chocolate shirt that they gave out - a hooded long sleeve running tech shirt lined with fleece.  really cute.  the best part of the race - hanging out with my friends gillie and lana.

lana, me, gillie

happy new year

every year we do a puzzle to ring in the new year.  this is how old we are - we went to bed at 10:30.  :)

i helped with the borders.  aaron did the rest.  :)

merry christmas

we celebrated christmas at tuan and stephanie's.  santa got tuan some disposable women's underwear.  haha.  i'm sure those will turn up again . . . 

love this picture of lianne - beautiful girl

pierce trying out his spiderman web - of course he had to go and put on his spiderman costume.  :)

wanna go for a walk?

dexter sits up whenever he wants attention.  i think it's also his way of begging for food.  we always fall for it because he looks so darn cute!  

aaron trying to take dexter paw and pretend he's walking with him.  haha.

happy birthday dad

dad's birthday was around thanksgiving, so we celebrated on thanksgiving.  we had a lot of desserts - cheesecake, pumpkin roll, pumpkin pie, and flan.  i must have gained 5 lbs that night.

pierce and lianne helping grandpa blowing out the candles.  thanhha made the pumpkin roll - yummie!
