Christmas Fireworks!

One of our favorite festivities is the Manhattan Beach Christmas fireworks, in fact it was our first real dates way back in 2003! This year, we started the night out at a Christmas party with my sister, Taylor and Alana at their strand house. From their we walked a bit closer to the pier and had a great time watching with a bunch of friends. It was a great show, Merry Christmas!

The first thing I saw was this black, lace, mermaid dress that looked strikingly similar to my wedding dress. I hit rewind and watched her walk out again – Yes this was my wedding dress! I knew it was but I needed proof to seal the deal.

This morning on Perez Hilton I found this:
