A Visit with Santa

"So, who are you again?"

This is the first picture I totally see the resemblance between the two of them--the abject look of fear is funny, too.

The promise of a lollipop, and guess what appears?

SNL

I don't know what's up with SNL lately, but ever since the boon of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, they have been coming up with some really, really funny stuff. Here's another one:



Andy Samburg is frickin' hilarious!

The Pitt

Glancing at the title of this post, you might think a couple of things:

-No, I'm not going to blog about a recent unhappy time in my life (that would be "the pits").
-No, it's not going to be about Brangelina (that would be "The Pitts", or "The Jolie-Pitts").

I'm actually going to share some photos from our recent trip to Pittsburgh! We had the original idea of a visit waaay back in July, when we discovered the Chargers were scheduled to play the Steelers in Heinz Field this season. Seeing as how the Chargers proceeded to have a pretty suck-ish season, we nixed the trip, thinking we didn't want to go all the way out to the East Coast just to watch them lose. Then we had yet another change of heart, and ended up going to Pittsburgh, but not to the game. And boy, were we glad we went!

Tia Gaby, Uncle Joji, cousins Bun, Fli and doggie Paco welcomed us with hearth and warmth. Cham was in 7th Heaven from the moment we touched down. We couldn't have picked a worse time to visit, since both Tia Gabs and Uncle Joj were in the middle of some very hectic workweeks, but they were still such gracious & super-accommodating hosts! Not to mention, their house is huge and incredible.

We literally did a turn-around trip, with as many activities sandwiched together as possible. Cham and Tee were troopers, enduring long hours of nothing but airports and airplanes (on the way there and back). We all agreed the trip was too short! Still, it was fantastic to be able to spend some time with the Gonzalez-Montelibano brood.
