Tis the season!

This December has been full full full! Tim and I went to Kansas for his cousins wedding and some family time. We always have a great time staying with his brother, Tyler and his wife. We get some alone nephew time and Kelley and I get to catch up on all things girlie. Tyler prepared this fab breakfast (Tim should take notes).
 
She snapped this pic of Tim and I before the wedding. 
Again I love it!!  Much more than my "professional" wedding pics. Wish we had done this sooner (like a month ago), would've been a great Christmas card.  My handsome hubby!! 

 One sweet girl from school has pugs as well and we naturally have a shared love for them and she thought I needed this. I totally agree!! I was really spoiled with cutesy Christmas gifts this year. 


 We did Tim's Christmas party, it was fun and I met a few sweet wives. It's always nice to meet people you can conversate with normally. Now that I am enjoying all my time off with sleeping in and hitting the gym.


We were all excited about the birth of our new nephew Spencer Daniel!!

He is just perfect! Who is this happy? A newborn baby boy who is ready to go home that's who. 

Tim and I are hosting Christmas again this year and we are excited to have our house filled with family (until we all get crazy), but it will be fun to see the kids open gifts and enjoy a yummy meal.

Holiday Happenings

Not a lot has happened since my last post, well i will rephrase: some has happened but nothing huge.
My sisters baby shower went off without a hitch. She received lots of goodies for baby Buckles (there is a name now but they're not telling).


I got this cute gift basket from the my kiddos and parents.How thoughtful is this!



We had a nice Thanksgiving holiday break, having 5 days off in a row is a tease. We had lunch with both families (yes I said lunch), and then it was off to shopping with the girls. Tiffany and I ventured off on our own at first and spent FOREVER in Kohl's, great store but horrible organization for checking out customers. When we met up with our other ladies we were on a mission to find any good deal :) and Starbucks.


Santa granted Christmas wishes early, I got the  Kitchen Aid Mixer that I wanted, I am excited to bake something yummy. I do have my bible study's scarf exchange that I need to bring a snack to, perfect timing to try this out. Since Santa brought my mixer he brought Tim a TV, yes we got one last Black Friday, its a new tradition. I got all the little kids finished so that is always a great feeling.


Sunday we spent the day cleaning and organizing all our new goodies. I started wrapping gifts, I got quit a few done but now I am waiting on my tree skirt to arrive. I ordered one from Moon Pie Design on Facebook, super cute. This was my set up while Tim and my father-in-law worked on getting things ready for our new TV. Sprinkles and I were confined to the guest bedroom on the floor, it will be my wrapping home till it's all done.

(look at that cute pug who was sneaking around the presents)



Tim was out of town and the Leonard's invited me over for dinner (thoughtful), and Ashley loves to give gifts so I got my Christmas gift a little early and I love it!
