Happy Holidays!

We had the BEST time celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years!  The best part of it is the extra time we get to spend together and with family!

Happy Halloween

Thanksgiving

Merry Christmas

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

It's January already?  I can't believe it!  We wish you the happiest New Year!  We brought in the new year quietly - ordered take out, Maya was asleep by 10:00pm, and we were in bed just after midnight.  But we sure had fun up until we all got sleepy! ;)

Here's a fun little review of our year that I did on instagram - I just took a favorite pic from each month last year (it was hard to pic just one from each month!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

What a super fun Christmas we had - we all got pretty spoiled!!  It was so nice to spend the day with family and all together!  We can't wait to have a little one of our own to spoil one day!  We hope you had a fun Christmas too!

My favorite Christmas Tradition: Brandon and I write love letters to each other, stick them in the tree and we read them Christmas morning.  Great way to start the day!

Our stockings were packed with all of our favorite things!!

We got a little relaxing in before we went to my parents' house for more fun!

Brandon got me a cool fish-eye lens for my phone - check out all of the presents at my parents' house!

Playing fun games with my nieces and nephews.

Playing around with a couple of my nephews and their toys

Another one of my favorite Christmas traditions is a day of shopping with Brandon a day or two after Christmas.  Look at all the yummy and crazy chocolate items we found while shopping! Crazy!  Oh, and the bacon chocolate is GROSS, trust me on this one! ;-)

And Happy New Year too!  We slept through the New Year - I ended up taking down all of our Christmas decorations that day, so while I was busy doing that we ordered take out and we were ready for bed by around 10:00 ... but we were able to have a lot of fun the day of!

My aunt's birthday is on New Years Day so my family went to 'Les Miserables' and out to eat to celebrate with her - fun day and awesome movie!

Wishing you the best 2013 ever!

Holidays and Ordinary Days

We've had a fun January - mostly wondering when it's going to snow!  Here's the latest on some HOLIDAY FUN and Ordinary Days at our house lately.

Holiday Fun: We rang in the NEW YEAR with a quiet night at home.  We ordered take-out and watched a movie.  I think we were in bed before the New Year - what a couple of fuddy-duddy's we were this year.  I didn't even get a picture! 
For Martin Luther King Jr. Day - me, my mom, my sister and her kids went shopping and then out to eat at the most delicious place - their cookies were the best!

More Holiday Fun: We went out to eat to celebrate our 3rd anniversary of our 1st date!  Any excuse for a fun date night!

Ordinary Days: We love to leave love notes for each other.  Here's the latest one Brandon left on the door to find before I went to play at preschool! He's so sweet!

Ordinary Days: I love when the weather gets colder so I can wear a scarf every day!  One of my most favorite (and comfortable) accessories!

Happy New Year!
