It's almost time to welcome in the year of the Monkey and for some reasons I'm feeling excited for whats to come. I've got a gut instinct it's going to be an even better year than the Sheep. I'm really grateful for everything in 2015, from family, work, friends to just trying to do better in terms of letting go of the little things and staying focused on the big picture. I've stopped setting new year resolutions for myself but I just hope everyone stays happy and healthy.. that's my only wish. =) Time to share some snapshots from our US trip over christmas: firstly a quick stop in LA
Staying a few days at the Montage Beverly Hills hotel, a real treat.
Christmas brunch at AK's place before Star Wars at the Americana cinema.
Time to unwrap some presents. I feel like there are times when you really don't need any material gifts but to just be with the one you love. 
Getting excited with the mistletoe hanging on top of the christmas sleigh.
One for the yearbook.
Visiting the Langham Huntington hotel, AK's wedding venue in August. Classic ballrooms and lush green grounds surrounding the historical hotel.
Picture perfect christmas tree, so full of ornaments you can barely see the tree. A really relaxing few days in LA, getting over jetlag, eating persian food, doing some window shopping before starting our roadtrip to SFO.
