The Christmas Season

I absolutely love the Christmas Season. This time last year, Blake and I were in the Christmas spirits, but we just couldnt stop thinking how lame it was that we had no kids to spoil. Although we still dont have kids right now, we do have one on the way. It is so special to know that we will be able to celebrate Christmas wi th our little boy next year.

Blake and I put the tree up. Well, he put it up and I helped decorate. It's so pretty, even from the outside. We also put out all of our Christmas decorations. Blake's mom donated almost everything we have for Christmas decorations, and she adds to our decorations every year. She is so good to us. Thanks Momma Haines.

I was having another nesting moment, cleaning out the entire downstairs closet. Meanwhile, Cozmo was constantly being bugged by Blake :), and finally he had ENOUGH with the teasing. So, he came and insisted on sitting on my lap in the closet. I welcomed the break.

Blake and I roasted marshmallows in our ashes after a cozy fire. The best part, though, is we roasted MINI marshmallows and coconut marshmallows. None of those boring normal big white ones.
We randomely made sugar cookies with the Anderson's, Tim and Conny. They came over and Blake and I were in the middle of mixing dough before we knew what we were getting into. We could not find the cookie cutters (which I conveniently found the next day), so we made our own shapes. It was great!

THE UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER PARTY!

Thanks to my mom's organized ability, I was able to find 2 sweaters that look very cute on her but very awful on me with my pregnant belly and Blake with... well he's a guy. We got invited by Dan and Jen to the "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party." It was a blast!

Well, Scott won the "most ill-fitted" Christmas Sweater award. His mustache and rolled up at the ankle jeans really helped add to the ensemble.

We had a blast!

****MERRY CHRISTMAS! LET IT SNOW!****
