Merry Christmas!

We're heading off to Arizona this Sunday. Merry Christmas to everyone! Drive safely.

Addiction

Its all your fault Shauna. I am hooked. I devoured Season 1 in two days and am plugging away on Season 2. I have lost all desire to do any sort of Christmas crafting. I just want to sit on the couch, cuddle up with a blanket and watch. Don't watch this show! Trust me.

Happy Birthday to me from the sky!

I got some great gifts for my birthday but I think this one was my favorite. 6 inches of snow.

I cannot even tell if I am being sarcastic or not.

Christmas Listening

So I know 3 posts in a week, I am astounding myself. Its christmas time! And you better believe I am listening to 40 hours of christmas music a week until I leave my desk for vacation. Since I knew I needed some variety this year due to the desk job, I hit up the Orem Library and came away with some surprising favorites.

Only for Feliz Navidad
I know it looks lame and TLC has a track on it but its quite catchy
The Vince Guaraldi Trio, its really quite nostalgic

All I want for Christmas is you

And of course the #1 in my house growing up, there isn't a christmas memory I have that doesn't include this cd
Makes me want to watch Love Actually and While You Were Sleeping.

The Worthens

Even though there was a snowstorm, the Worthens did not back down from their family photo session. Its not like I'm any kind of professional but we did have a good time freezing, getting snowed on, and laughing. I have to admit, I was terrified of doing these pictures because I've never shot a kid before and especially one as rambunctious as Jay. (Jay knows who I am now and can say my name, I am thrilled) P.S. How cute is his suit?

I think they turned out pretty well. Here are some random candid shots so I don't accidentally use the ones for their christmas card. And yes, that is Jamestown if you noticed.

Thanks for the fridge pack and the salt!

Christmas Tree

So we finally got our christmas tree! It snowed all day Saturday so we waited until night to go out when the snow stopped so our tree wouldn't get all wet during transportation. We went to Lowe's because their trees are covered and trimmed and bound all ready to go. We bought one and stuffed it in the trunk and made the slow trip home with the trunk tied down but not shut.

We happily brought it into the apartment, cut the binding and stood in awe is it preceded to take up a large part of our living! Its huge! We shoved it against a wall and did some major trimming but I LOVE it and I think I'm going to miss it when it leaves--you know how you get used to something like that and then there will be a big hole in the apartment.

Anyway Steve helped and we put all the ornaments on it, silver and gold! So pretty. And that is our first christmas gift to ourselves underneath, a new dust buster to clean up after the tree!
