Our first Christmas together was splendid! :) After starting a new tradition Christmas Eve (Kevin whipping up a homemade alfredo), we went over to the church for the candle lighting/song singing/Jesus’ birthday cake eating service. Despite the fact that I ended up playing piano for the entire service having no prior warning, it was a […]

The One Where it’s FRIGID Outside
Bundle up, my friends, bundle up. Our three day weekend was quite wonderful. Lots of quality time, too much hot cocoa, our millionth viewing of Home Alone, and a snowman that rivals all snowmen. (See this post for a photo.) Sunday morning was the annual church Christmas breakfast prepared by one family to all […]
The One where it’s White
Today is the first SNOW DAY Kevin & I have had since high school! We are stoked!!

The One Where I’m Thawing

The One with zzzzzzzzzz….

Christmas shopping. 90% off racks at Kohl’s. attending one of our teen’s band concerts (per her invitation *grin*). surprising her with flowers (per Kevin’s thoughtfulness *big grin*). tired. bed time methinks.

The One with the Bulbs
To those of you who will truly appreciate seeing pictures of our house transforming into its Christmas outfit, I wanted to share with you. Make sure you realize, however, that these pictures do not do the actual scenery any justice. In which case you are all welcome to visit any time. My baking skills have […]
