Lunch with SAGs

I love my SAGs. I’ve known A and LL for almost 20 years and C and LY for over 15 years. These girls are awesome, and I look forward to our get togethers. It’s amazing to see how our group has grown from 5 girls to 5 girls with husbands (10) to 5 girls with husbands and kids (currently at 15 and counting).

December 20, 2011 – LY hosted us at her lovely home, and A brought sandwiches and salad from Specialty’s (Irvine).  Good times.

December 26 – LL wasn’t down yet for the first lunch, so we gathered for a second lunch at BJ’s.  LY brought a cake to celebrate A and LL’s 3-0 birthdays. Fun, fun.

El Pollo Inka and Relatives

On Monday, December 19, 2011, we headed to El Pollo Inka (Torrance) to celebrate Hubby’s belated birthday dinner. The food was delicious as always.

After dinner, we stopped by to visit with Hubby’s relatives. Baby E met another one of her great-grandmas and both of them were all smiles.

Stonehill Tavern & St. Regis Monarch Beach

My parents had a hotel certificate that was expiring, so they offered to let us use it at the St. Regis Monarch Beach. While we were out with Hubby’s friends in the morning, my parents, brother and his girlfriend headed down to the hotel and checked things out. Later we joined them for a pleasant dinner at Stonehill Tavern.

The next morning, Hubby, baby E and I walked around the hotel for a bit.  They had some cute winter holiday decorations.
