We calculated that it had been about 10 years since we’d spent Christmas with our extended family and we were excited for the opportunity. It was a long trip from London to California, but the excitement never ceased the entire way. And then [...]

Last year for Christmas my parents gifted us with a voucher for theatre tickets. Not wanting them to go to waste, we kept waiting for the special time to use them. It seemed Christmas fit the bill so I got tickets for the whole family to go see Scrooge, basically a retelling of The Christmas [...]

What do you say to a weekend away, with just the girls, to go to some European Christmas Markets?! That was definitely a no-brainer! Three countries in three days? We were up for it! We started on a Friday and flew to Luxembourg, a country I probably would never have gotten to if it weren’t [...]

We can officially say that we have been in London one year now. Our first big event to attend as a family was Chris’s office Christmas party. Of course, last year we were fighting off jet lag. This year we were much more chipper! The kids had a blast with all the festivities and attention [...]

Sunday the tube was up and running again. Really, it’s the best and fastest way to travel in the city. We decided to take an evening stroll downtown to see the Christmas lights at Oxford and Regent Streets. They were really neat and big, but the crowds were just so thick, it wasn’t too much [...]

Santa found us . . . and left his signature! We had a great day being ‘home’ as a family. The kids had a great time enjoying their gifts and then enjoying our traditional Christmas meal of roast beef, roasted potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding with Christmas crackers. We were really surprised to find that London [...]
