december 2013
it has been a CRAZY month. we moved. we were in charge of our ward party. craig had a surprise appendectomy. aaaaaand it's christmas. so things have been a little different this holiday season. for instance: i cut down our christmas tree. (craig was still recovering from surgery)
despite the insane-ness we have still tried to keep up our traditions. this was my moms ornament exchange. loved the fancy lunch!
the tree in our new family room.
my boys and me, going through my winter hats/scarves. those smiles kill me.
my brother, elder short, (the guy on the left) sent us his chritsmas card. love it!
the boys visited the nordstrom santa this year. he was so jolly.
ornament exchange wit ma boos.
craig's healing stomach. he is so proud of this thing. i kid you not, a pure stranger could ask to see and he would happily oblige.
grace, my mom and me, on our way over to the christmas carol. my favorite tradition.
talk about being proud: i was so proud of my miley cyrus wrecking ornament! i made it for emily and andrew's white elephant exchange.
white elephant exchange/ugly sweater party. thought my friends would want me to clarify.... :)
tagg and sully helping set up for our ward party.
we had a hot chocolate bar, sugar cookie decorating, a live nativity and wiseman with chocolate coins for the children. a successful party but i AM glad it's over.
and then last night we had our annual gingerbread house decorating party. megan went above and beyond and made these mini houses for our mugs. to die for!
i love december (even a crazy one). and i love my family and friends (even my crazy one/s).
