I love this time of year especially because there are so many family friendly events going on every weekend! Please see the list below and if you know of one I have forgotten please let me know! Merry Christmas!
Thursday, December 8
Holiday Open House @ West Inn & Suites, Carlsbad 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm – My husband and I love Bistro West and West Steak & Seafood. The food really is to die for, and this event will have seasonal treats and spirits created by Chef Eugenio Martignago available for tastings. This is the 5th annual holiday open house and will feature Santa, Mrs. Clause and their elves. There will also be carolers, horse-drawn carriage rides, crafts and a photo-op with Santa himself! It is asked that you please bring an unwrapped toy to for the Toys for Tots Drive.
SD Mom’s Night Out @ Blended Industries, La Jolla – This event is not kid friendly, however I am still going and planning on having so much fun! Join other local like-minded moms tonight for a little me time. Enjoy wine from wine maker Jesse Kovacs, he is also a reality star from The Bachelorette Season 5/ Bachelor Pad Season 1. There will be delectable artisan meats, breads and cheeses, and let’s not forget the chocolates and cakes! For more information on this fun event visit their website here.

Oceanside Harbor Parade of Lights @ The Oceanside Harbor – The Oceanside Yacht Club will be celebrating this year with the harbor parade of lights from 6 pm – 9 pm.
