Christmas Cards 2015

It was a Christmas miracle that I got our Christmas cards designed, printed, labeled, stuffed, stamped, return address stamped, sealed, AND washi taped in less than 3 days. While I love all the designs on the greeting card company sites, I don’t get to design a lot these days so it’s always fun when I can do a project for us. And big shoutout to my printer who has 24 hour turnaround time with free overnight shipping. Love them!

We were able to use a picture from our Santa photo session and I love how it turned out! Here’s the front of our card!

Friday Favorites – Eating All The Fudge

It’s time for Friday Favorites!

I’m so excited it’s Friday! Today is BTR’s last day of work for TWO WEEKS!! We don’t really have much planned for break and it’s kind of awesome having all that freedom! Let’s get to my favorites this week!

One.
Thank you to everyone that entered my Santa Glass Giveaway last week! The lucky winner was Desiree (go read her blog, she has two of the cutest little ones!)!

Christmas Pajama Party

Welcome to the Christmas Pajama Party!

And as usual I waited till the laaaaaast possible minute to snap some pictures of Jude in his Christmas pajamas to share for today’s Christmas Pajama Party Link Up! Which is horrible because I’m even one of the hosts for the link up! Get all the details and link up with us below!

I realized two things while taking these photos last night and then again taking more this morning. 1. Toddlers NEVER stop moving. 2. I really need to take a class on how to use my real camera! Why do I need to take a class? Because 90% of my pictures ended … read more

Visiting Santa 2015

So our visit to Santa this year went pretty much how I expected…

When Santa came into the room Jude wasn’t very impressed. He listened to the story and watched some other kids sit on his lap. But when it was his turn and Brandon took him over to sit on Santa’s lap he tried to climb over Brandon. Even with the offer of a high five (his favorite thing ever)!

So we plopped him down and snapped a few screaming photos (how can you not?!?!).

And then BTR swooped in and saved him! Once Brandon had him he was a happy camper so we snapped a few of … read more

Friday Favorites + A GIVEAWAY!

Hi Friends! It’s time for Friday Favorites + A Giveaway!

Today’s Favorites is more of a currently post because I haven’t done one in a while! And make sure you make it to the end of the post for a super awesome GIVEAWAY

Feeling – like a bad gift giver because I can’t keep a secret and already gave BTR some slippers I bought him. But I came up with another fun idea so hopefully I can keep that one a secret!

Drinking – all the hot chocolate and loving getting free things in the mail from Starbucks Rewards. I have no idea what mailing list I got on, but … read more

Weekend Fun – a little late

So before we get toooooo far away from last weekend, I just wanted to share a few cute pictures because it was such a fun weekend!

Friday we just hung out at home and caught up on work and other things. So basically uneventful! :)

Saturday was crazy busy! We woke up early to go take Santa pictures and Jude was very unimpressed with Santa. I’ll share the real photos later, but this was his face when Santa walked in…

But we did get some good family photos for our Christmas card this year, so I’ll call it a win! Afterwards we dropped off my fudge for the Holly Day … read more
