This afternoon we nixxed plans to go to Fashion Island’s tree lighting ceremony due to the rain. Instead we hung out at the Marketplace, on the Tustin side. First we went to Starbucks to enjoy their BOGO holiday drink special. Never seen that Starbucks that busy. k and n shared a peppermint hot chocolate and D and I shared a pumpkin latte. I couldn’t resist this Starbucks ornament to add to my new “food and drink” Christmas ornament collection.
Then we went to check out the newly opened REI. Wow, it was crowded! D had fun checking out all of the ski gear. 
n loves helmets of all kinds. He likes pointing out anyone else who is wearing a helmet, as well.
We also had him try on this $79 Northface jacket. No way would we ever buy this, but I really liked the color.
