GO WINGS!

What an awesome surprise we recieved for Christmas from our best friends, and Isabelle's godparents, April and JP...tickets to the January 6th game of the LA King vs. the Detriot Red Wings!

We started our evening by slipping into our Red Wing "sweaters" (jerseys as April and I call them) and driving out to the Odyssey restraunt to sit on thier patio overlooking the valley and watching the sunset. We then proceeded down the street to El Presidente for a quick bite to eat, thinking we would miss the game if we stayed and waited as long as we did for our drinks at the Odyssey. Deep fried appetizer platter...Izzy loved it!! But I was missing my Purple Cadillac Margarita.

The game was awesome...amazingly there was lots of red, since we were on the Kings playground. The Wings started off on top but unfortunatly were taken over in the last 15 minutes of the game. But we held our heads high as the Kings fans walked by booing the Wings or telling us they suck because all we had to proudly say was "10"..."10 Stanley cups" and they couldn't touch that :) Our boys celebrated regardless trying to keep with the Michigan tradition of...too much beer!

All in all, it was a great evening and we can't wait to take Izzy to her first Wings game. Who knows, it could be this winter when we are back on thier turf! GO RED WINGS!!

Welcome 2007!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL!!

And what a better way to ring it in then with all of our friends at our theatre celcbrating Carnivale di Venezia!!

To bring in 2007 we (the REP) hosted our very first New Years fundraiser and transformed our theatre into the hottest dance spot in SCV (which most people know is pretty much a feat in itself).

Full of fun, music, new faces to meet and lots of great food and drinks (sparkling water for me with a champagne sip at midnight). It was a huge success and we can't wait to host it again this year. We already have our babysitter lined up...thanks Mom and Dad! :)
