This whole year has been warm and beautiful {not that I’m complaining} and finally the rain has hit in Sonoma County and it’s made me realize that it’s the holiday season already! Where has the year gone?!

Giving thanks is easy this year. I have had the greatest year with lots of love: with a wedding, trips to my favorite city, spending time with family and friends and welcoming new babies into my family.

As I look back on the year I feel lucky to have spent so many great times with friends and family eating great food, trying new craft beers, cheering on my favorite bay area sports team: The San Francisco Giants {at several ballparks!} and seeing some great places! I am thankful for the many things in life that make me smile.
