Actress Taryn Manning from USA's "Hawaii Five-O" and FX's "Sons of Anarchy" hosted one of the hottest New Year's Eve bashes of the century in chilly Vail. CIROC the New Year, sponsored by CIROC Vodka and E! Entertainment, took place at Vail's swanky new bar and bowling alley, Bol.

While some socialites put on their bowling shoes and threw strikes in high style, others danced the night away, moving to the beats by DJ Lito. The party was just one of five smokin' hot CIROC New Year's Eve parties across the country, including shindigs hosted by Shawn "Diddy" Combs in Las Vegas, Pete Wentz in Chicago, Kourtney Kardashian in Miami, and a surprise performance by Lauryn Hill in New York City.

Holidays in Vail

Heading back to Vail for a couple weeks to spend the busy Christmas season with old friends. It's so awesome that a handful of my international friends got VISAS to come back this year! :) Here comes a little bit of teaching, a little bit of riding, a little bit of partying...

LOOK: The "peakiest peak"!

Gotta love happy hour at Mez!

with appearances by some old friends...

Kylie and I love our Stan Wu Originals...Stan made this hoodie with a special Jules-style camera pocket!

The ladies love Mez!

Merry Christmas

Partyin' at the NEW Office

My company is moving from Centennial to Denver over the new year. It should be a much more happenin' spot, I mean, H-Mart is right around the corner--which means, so is YOGURT and Korean BBQ! Last week at the meeting, they finally admitted our new company office is technically in Aurora, even though our address reads Denver. They weren't foolin' me! haha. That aside, it's pretty shiny and new, gotta love that!


Go Unwrapped!

What's wrong with having a little beer in the office? :P

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving weekend was jam-packed with holiday cheer, celebrating twice, with both Dave's family and mine.

Thanksgiving at Dave's house...



with tomato aspic

and some TV time

And Thanksgiving at mine...

with lefse

and yiftis

ron numnam.

We also attended a true Hawaiian wedding in Black Forest, CO

with hula dancing

and beautiful Hawaiian flower centerpieces.


We also snuck in a little fishing trip to Monument Lake...which unexpectedly became an ice fishing trip.

Thank goodness someone remembered to bring a shovel...
