December, Christmas Photos & A New Haircut...



Happy December Everyone! I haven't blogged as much as I would have liked this year, but I at least am able to give you guys a great December entry full of Christmas photos of my family! (YAY!)

First I want to say that my Thanksgiving went alright. Esther (My Mother in Law) and Chris had to work at Michaels that night, so they didn't get home until about 8:30pm. We shared the dinner with Nicole, Bryan, William, and Bryan's Mom :)

Nicole and William also came down this past weekend to get their tree and decorations. We've already put up our Christmas tree (but Esther still has to put decorations on hers. Might be finished by Christmas ;) )

We bought our annual Christmas ornaments that have our names on them, and we bought some other ornaments (which I actually have to put up.)

And now on to photos! :)

We had our Christmas photos this year taken by Christina, with Christina Alcorn Photography (which you can click on the name, and it will lead you to her Photography Website). She is a wonderful friend & an amazing photographer! Enjoy! :)

Chris, Me and Little Man
Little Man Loved The Christmas Ornaments
Little Man & Myself
Probably one of my favorite Christmas Photos This year! He loved the fake Snow!
Family
I love how his eyes "POP" in this picture
This photo of Chris and Little Man speaks a thousand words. 
My second favorite photo! 
He's Captured Us! <3
Too Much Cuteness for one Photo!
Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!
They came out so great this year! Every year getting Christmas photos done, is like my Christmas present. I start planning out Christmas photos in January,and finalize them in November. I hope those that are receiving Christmas Cards from me this year enjoy them! :)

My other Christmas present happened today! :)

I couldn't donate my hair because it was too layered, but I did get about 8 inches or more chopped off, and I had a slight high light done :) I love it, and it has taken a great weight off of me. My hair is very thick & gives me headaches when it gets too long. So I will enjoy this until it grows back out again and needs to be cut.

Merry Christmas!

25 days of Christmas Countdown, 14 days until Christmas, Receiving Christmas Cards in the Mail...

Sorry everyone! I will have to do the Snowman Craft tomorrow... Little man is to sleep for his nap right now, and it is in the room he is in! So today I'll just be talking about the cute Christmas Cards I have gotten in the mail.
A lot of people don't do Christmas cards anymore. They'll send a facebook message, or an email.... but our family is traditional--- and we really love Christmas cards. I collect all the cards we're ever given. :) This year, as you guys saw, I made my Christmas cards.
Here are some Christmas cards I have gotten from two friends of mine, Amy & Ashley :)

Our First Christmas Card: From Ashley & Her Beautiful Family

From Amy & Clay
See you guys tomorrow with our Snowman Craft!!! :)

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas....

Hello Fellow Bloggers!
Ok, Ok.... I know many of you will despise the above picture, but it is very true! Many places are already snowed in (Not here in the South... although I can only wish and hope), Retailers have already started putting sales on Christmas items & my coupon binder is filling up with TONS of coupons for toys!!!
I have almost finished my Christmas shopping. Yes... you saw that correctly... I have almost finished. We still have to buy Christopher's "big gift" which we won't get until Black Friday, and I still have to shop for Chris and he has to shop for me... but everyone else is about finished. I still have to make a few things for people (but that will wait for another month).

You may also have noticed that I have added a Christmas Countdown to my blog. 

On another topic -- this weekend we're going to Spartanburg for my nephews 2nd Birthday Party! It's 'The Hungry Little Caterpillar' themed!
The 31st is Halloween! &.... The 1st of November is Chris and my 5th Wedding Anniversary.



Well this is all for today!
