Happy Easter! Of course, my favorite part of this holiday is the Washington Post Peeps diorama contest. Lots of creative submissions this year! You can also check out my favorites from past years: Peeps Show 2012 and Peeps Show 2011.

This weekend family and friends gathered at my parents’ home in Scottsdale to celebrate my dad’s 65th birthday. It was great to see everyone and to enjoy some delicious food. The weather was absolutely perfect! And, even though it was my dad’s party, my little nephew Henry sure did steal the show. I’m so grateful for such a wonderful father and to be surrounded by such awesome people.









This is so cute. The Santa hat adds a hilarious touch.
Clay and I are always looking for fun and unique Christmas ornaments to add to our collection. I laughed when I saw these hipster ornaments from CB2. You can choose from the tattoo artist, the barista, the bartender, and the bike messenger.

Although he wasn’t eligible for the costume contest at our company party, my boss Dave had a pretty amazing costume. He had a local custom piƱata maker create an oversized version of his own head. I can only imagine the hilarious ways we’ll be using this in the future!

With Halloween on a Wednesday this year, we had our company Halloween party last night. There were some really awesome homemade costumes in attendance. For my costume, I decided to dress up as Charlyne Yi’s Dr. Park from House. I paired a button up shirt with too-short, tapered work pants and added a lab coat. What put it over the top was the Dr. Park ID badge and the wig. It was an easy costume and it won 2nd place in our costume contest! Here are some photos of the finished look (don’t mind Jake).
