and that's a wrap.

it's 2013.  and that's really freaking weird.  but i had a spectacular last week of 2012-- and the last hours of 2012 were especially spectacular because i got to spend it with some of the coolest people alive.

first off-

we're going to take a little detour to showcase this perfect outfit.  it's okay to ooh and aah.

what the last week of 2012 was like:
1. christmas
2. started working at the hospice again
3. dad's birthday
4. saw les mis
5. lots of movie watching with the boys

but how did i ring in the new year?  funny you should ask, because i've got some pictures

 you know, just looking attractive in the entry way.

classic ali pose.

 coco is so sad that she couldn't be my new years kiss this year.

 pre-party pics.

we're totes adorbs.

 selfies.

and yeah, we slumbered in a 2 story bunk bed.

we went to a big party in san juan capistrano and had the best time ever.  all 3 mah girls were there [christmas miracle/mission miracle] and it was such a fun night.  we danced and drank sparkling cider and danced some more and erika showcased her new fur and it was probably the funnest party since prom.  

so yeah, that's how i rang in the new year.  and then right after the ball dropped and we drank some sparkling cider, we went to in n out.  and THAT was the perfect start to 2013.

xoxo partied out ollie
