Merry Christmas!

Totoro Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone!

What did I do all day? Enjoyed a fantastic lunch full of all my favorite foods, including Bryan's mom's famous CHE pumpkin cakes, leftover dumplings from our delicious meal yesterday at Din Tai Fung, and several other fantastic homemade dishes.

I am loving the warm, California sunshine here.

Yes, we were so fortunate! We arrived the day after the California torrential rains stopped, and missed all the snowstorms back East. It looks like we might be flying back into yet another snowstorm though. (!)

Tonight, we enjoy a traditional Chinese hot pot, one of my favorite ways to celebrate Christmas dinner. Can't wait!

That's all I have, really. We conclude with some mouthwatering pictures of our lunch today. (Thanks Bryan's mom!!!)
