Christmas is my FAVORITE time of year! I know how easy it is to get caught up in the stress and pressure of the season, but this year has been really stress free for me. I did most of my shopping online, we decorated when we got home from LA on December 1st, its just been really easy this year. We are staying in Texas for Christmas this year, I will be 35 weeks at that time, and we are going to stay put just in case Avery decides to act up. I am excited about our first Christmas with our little family. We plan on going to the Christmas Eve candlelight service at our church, and just starting our own little traditions. The great thing is that our parents have been able to come out for a Christmas visit. Josh's parents are coming in this Friday, so we will be able to spend some time with them. My mom came in this weekend, so we got to do our Christmas at that time. We did Christmas baking and candy making, we listened to Christmas music non-stop and watched all the cute/cheesy Christmas movies on TV. It was a great visit!
Here are some pictures of the goodies we made. White chocolate covered Oreos:
Decorated sugar cookies:
My Maw-Maw's Ranch crackers...yum!
This is called Puppy Food, it's chocolate and peanut-butter covered Chex mix coated in powdered sugar...so good!
And my favorite...Buck-Eye balls: peanut-butter and powdered sugar dipped in chocolate:
Josh went to a Christmas party, and of course had to wear his cheesy Christmas sweater.
Here are some pictures by the tree:
My mom and Josh being goofy!
Like I said, Josh's parents and little sister are coming in on Friday, so we have a fun weekend planned with them. I will post pictures after that visit too. Merry Christmas!!! and remember the birth of Jesus is the real reason we are celebrating, don't lose focus of the true meaning of the season!
