HoW SWeEt IT iS

Today my mom and I went to my sister Melissa's house and made some Christmas goodies.....mmmm....fudge(hence all the chocolate bars) and toffee.

The Joys of the Season

Jared and I had a movie night. We watched my 2nd fave Christmas movie (behind Christmas Vacation, of course).
And to make it even better...HOT CHOCOLATE!!!

wE EAt LikE CoLLegE StUDeNts..Oh wE aRE

Here's the thing, I love PB&J sandwiches.
I also STRONGLY DISLIKE grocery shopping.
Therefore I avoid it as long as possible.
Well, yesterday the peanut butter ran out and so did the Ramen. You know its bad when you run out of Ramen...so I had to bite the bullet and go shopping.

Just in case you didn't believe me.... BEFORE

AFTER
And after all that I will probably eat a PB&J for dinner

Thanksgiving Day we went to Jared's aunt Alaine's house. There is a big ole' group that goes down there for dinner. I think we had around 60 people. Holy smokes! This is the only pic I took, but the food was great and so was the company. Oh, and the Cowboys won so Jared is smiling in this picture.

When we got home that night, I just felt like we should put the tree up. So we did.
Isn't she Purrty?

I love putting up the tree. It's one of my favorite days of the year. Usually the tradish is to out it up the day after Thanksgiving, but we kind of wanted to Black Friday it up so we got it done.

And Black Friday it up we did. Here we are at about 4:30 in the morning. When you go to sleep at about 1:30 and wake up at 4, that makes it fun! Neither one of us had gone this early and thought maybe we could see some old ladies get in a fight or something but we weren't that lucky.

We did find some good deals though.
