We've been toasting the 'ole snake charmer for many moons now {why did I choose to word it his way?  13yr old boy brain, I swear}. ​Since 2005 we've consumed multiple pints of green beer at Little Woodrow Midtown, Pub Fiction, Celtic Gardens, Rice Village, & the Heights. This year, we decided to give Cypress a shot. 

My husband has a major man crush on Dave Grohl and the band, Foo Fighters, so when I learned they were doing a US tour I knew immediately what I was getting him for his birthday.  Originally, I was trying to score Boston tickets but those sold out in 0.2 seconds so it was on to Plan B: The closest venue that would also be a fun vacation, hence Memphis. {I had to wait 9 months before I could give it to him, torture!}

Even though Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, Christmas holds an extremely close second.  I love the "art" of picking out a tree, the decorations, the merriment, the parties, and all that yummy food!

We take Christmas cards VERY seriously in our household; We've been sending cards out for the past 7 years, each year progressively getting more animated and trying to "outdo" the year before, but we KNEW this year we truly needed to "bring it" because we fell off in 2013!  In our defense, 2013 was an eventful year- we both turned 30 {which meant 2 big birthday bashes}, we filmed Yard Crashers, hosted a Thanksgiving for 34, spent a week in NYC, and a whole lot more... so this year we started plotting in October and it was a no brainer when this idea was born, behold the Miles' 2014 Christmas Card:

Hey everyone!  I finally got my information together, slide shows created, & thoughts down on paper (virtual paper of course), so I can now officially post about our vacation!  For those of you that don’t know; Cody & I took an 11 day road-trip from Texas to the Grand Canyon, to Venice Beach, to San Diego, & back to our home here in Texas. It was an amazing trip that we’d do all over again..

Once we got to our house in Pacific Beach {or PB to sound local and cool} we knew right away it was adorable, but it didn't have central A/C or cable, just a TV.  Luckily, my husband loves me and knows I can't sleep without a television being on, so we journeyed to Best Buy to buy the hook up for the ipad, thanks Bubeleh, you're the best!
