    Happy New Year

    We decided last minute to go out for NYE. And by go out I mean we went to dinner with some of J’s friends and I had a whopping 1 drink. It was perfect. Seriously. Hope you all had a fabulous New Years Eve. Here’s to an even better 2012.

    Christmas Eve and Day 2011

    I figured I better get on posting about our Christmas before it’s 2012. Are you all sick of reading Christmas posts? If not, read on:) Christmas Eve was spent with J’s family. First we went to his parents for lunch and then his whole family (aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc.) met at his aunt’s house who graciously hosts Christmas Eve dinner every year.

    Christmas Eve Eve 2011

    The day before Christmas Eve, Ben and I went to my mom’s house where we met my sister and nieces to decorate cookies for Santa. Later that night we decorated our Gingerbread Man House. Every year we do this and every year I can’t remember why. The icing doesn’t really stick and you can’t even eat the darn thing. Someone sneaking a bite of the candy. The finished project. To a two year old, we created the freakin Taj Mahal. Go us.

    Thanksgiving 2011

This year we had 3 Thanksgivings and we also celebrated our niece’s 1st birthday.  Here’s our Thanksgiving through pictures.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are spending the day with your family and remembering all that you have to be thankful for.
