We celebrated Scott's birthday today. What a beautiful day here in Orange County!
We started the day with our family having breakfast at Mollie's in San Juan Capistrano. Then Esprit and Indy took their Dad to shoot some pool at Big Shots while I did a little bit of work. After returning home, Scott opened his gifts before Esprit had to go into work. (insert sad face. Esprit was not happy about going to work today.) Scott, Indy and I then went to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland of course! Scott had many random people wishing him Happy Birthday, thanks to the birthday button he was wearing :) The button also scored him a package of 10 tortillas at the Mission tortilla factory in California Adventure. It was quite exciting! And to complete our day, after Disneyland it was off to BJ's Brewery for a fabulous dinner complete with their famous pazookie for the birthday boy.
Scott's will continue his birthday celebrations throughout the weekend, which is a tradition here in the Ogle home. This will include a soccer tournament that Indy is playing in, which may not have been at the top of Scott's list, but we'll work with it...
I Love You, Scott. Here's to spending many more birthday celebrations with you.

A Wonderful Surprise Visit
It was a WONDERFUL surprise on Thursday. My dad called me in the middle of the day to say that he and Gerd were in Newport Beach! When they were finished in NB they came on over for a visit. I treasure each and every one of these moments.

Christmas Photo Fun
It's no secret that I am typically late in sending out my Christmas Cards. I'm sure you've noticed. It's become a sort of tradition :) In keeping with tradition (LOL) this years cards will be on their way soon...
I LOVE to make the cards we send out. This has become another tradition. One that I look forward to all year, although I sometimes run into a mental block trying to think of a design. Scott is my fabulous sounding board and many of the cards we've done end up being a joint effort. This year, Esprit was the designer of our card, although not intentionally. It just came to her at dinner one night. I hope you get as much pleasure out of her work when you do receive it as we all have.
Our family photo has also become a tradition. Many years ago, when I was late sending cards out, we still needed to take our family photo. There wasn't anyone around to take the picture so we rigged up the camera on boxes and set the timer. Either Scott or I would push the button and run around to place ourselves in time for the flash to go off. This became a tradition as we always seem to forget about the picture until the last moment. This year was no exception. Esprit and Indy decided to have a little pre-family photo fun. I walked into the living room as they were finishing up these posed shots. (they make me LOL) Enjoy!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
Wishes to you all for a Wonderful 2009! May you enjoy Peace, Good Health and Beautiful Memories.
We started our New Years Eve with our tradition of eating Grandma Herb's enchiladas. Scott's mother passed this recipe on to us and I seem to only make them once a year. Yummy!
Dinner was followed up with Esprit, Indy, Scott and Brandon (Esprit's boyfriend) playing games of Risk and Monopoly. For those of you who know the Ogle side of the family, you will appreciate that Brandon had his first mild dose of the competitive side of the family :) Scott then retreated to his online Poker while Esprit and I serenaded the boys with the help of American Idol for playstation. (Tortured may be more like it, LOL!) Makes me realize how out of touch I am with current music. Quite sad... I'll be practicing during any alone time I have and all I can say is BRING IT ON ESPRIT!!!
After watching the ball drop in Time Square we snuffed out all the candles (thank you Brandon) and Esprit was off to dog sit for Pepper. Scott is still playing online Poker and I decided to write on the blog! A 2009 resolution I hope to keep up.
