2011 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (blog by Steven)

If you don't know already the University of Oklahoma is my favorite college since I attended for a year and a half. I consider myself a die hard OU football and basketball fan that lives on the west coast and can only view a few games a year. Once I heard that OU would be playing UCONN in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, AZ I had to figure out a way that I could go.

On Friday afternoon I heard Sara on the phone with Macy and when she got off the phone she said that Steve, Macy and Brooke (Macy's friend) were going to drive out to the Fiesta Bowl from Oklahoma. I thought there was no way they would make it since they were a good 20 hours away and the game was the next night. Once I confirmed this with Steve (Macy and Sara aren't always so reliable) over the phone I looked for tickets on Craigslist and the first post that popped up was for 4 tickets together. This Doctor had 4 seats 7 rows up from the field valued at $235 each and he sold them to us for $50 each! I asked Sara's Uncle Mike to pick them up since I was still in LA and the tickets were in the Phoenix area and he was gracious enough to do so. I left for Phoenix on Saturday morning and drove back to LA on Sunday morning. It was a lot of driving, but totally worth it! Here's some great pictures below....

Christmas 2010

MERRY CHRISTMAS (A little late)!!



We had such a great Christmas this year. We got to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with just us 3. Our little family. How weird is it that I just wrote those words? Many of you who read this know that I'm not normal or traditional (insert silly jokes that I just waltzed in here). I often see what is normal and deviate as much as possible from that. I always said I was NEVER going to have children. That I would NEVER stay home with a child all day. Now look at me, staying home (working from home, but you know), loving this baby more than anything else and loving the fact that we had a "normal" Christmas. Well....normal probably isn't the right word. Steven's office let him take home this a.m.a.z.i.n.g. camera for the Holiday season so we capitalized on that. We took about a million pictures of P-money (or Puke Master P as Steven has dubbed her). You can see those here. After we got bored of that, we decided to make a Godzilla like remake with Gingerbread. I know....not the usual "read the Christmas Story and open presents business." Here's the outcome of some of the best 4 hours of laughter with my best friend (while our baby happily slept in her swing!).

When Gingerbread Giants attack!

Since we were so productive on Christmas Eve, we decided to take it easy on Christmas Day. We woke up late and I made this awesome Vegan Breakfast Casserole (Thanks Ellen DeGeneres!)

YUM!



After that deliciousness, we had to go for a little walk to burn off the casserole and prepare for Christmas dinner together to the park. I love living in LA, it was a nice 60 degrees!!



Once we got back from the park, we made a HUGE Christmas dinner for just us (probably the last time I'll ever do that again, we wouldn't want to make a tradition of this business!):

YUM AGAIN!





I made an awesome Vegan Cheesecake (although it tasted more like Tapioca than Cheesecake, but still great!):



I also made this great Pumpkin Pie!!! Anyone can make this!




We didn't even open presents or have stockings together. We figured Christmas wasn't really supposed to be about that and we had way too much fun just hanging out together anyways, who needs presents, right? We spent much of the rest of the day trying to figure out how to get Peyton into this sling my sister got for me. We were successful, but it took several attempts. Thank goodness P is such a good sport and just let us spend an hour or so shoving her into this thing!! Result - Success!:
