He was born Dec 23rd and they actually made it home Christmas Eve. What a Christmas present!!!
And some spinach dip....
These are our snowman cookies about to be baked. Mmm.. Scrumptious!
So we baked them and then immediately started to put on their hats... well um.. the Reese's peanut butter cups... they uh... melted and it looks like the brains came leaking out of their heads. Whoops. Better luck on the next batch.
Next we spent a couple hours making a graham cracker Mansion. Seriously, its huge! We even made a balcony, chimney, and the driveway even has tire track markings... Hee hee...
As you can see, all this cooking made my poor Nala's noise sensitive and if you look closely you can see the drool coming from her mouth... Can you see it? 
Look, our finished product!!
So now its Christmas morning and I woke up, came out into the living room and this is what I found so I hollered out to Jeff and asked if he began eating the house since only one half of the house had been nibbled on. He replied no and this was what my little Nala did. She only nibbled one side... that's humorous... and its not demolished but just picked on.. You would think a dog wouldn't be that careful. 
So here is our tree Christmas morning. Trust there looks to be more than there is... I do that you know.. I place one object in a large box and that way there is more to open.... Hee hee... that's how us poor people do it. 
Jeff got me a pearl set.. necklace, bracelet, and earrings... (no, they aren't real).. but I love them!
So Jeff keeps telling me to become better at math I need to play dominoes.. what??? And he mentioned once this game of dominoes called ChickenFoot so I bought it for him. 
Jeni gave me this shirt for Christmas. It looked awesome with my skinny jeans and the pearls Jeff gave me. what do you think?
Oh yes, these are our finished snowman cookies. Hats, scarves, eyes, buttons and all. Aren't they cute?
Ah, the family on Christmas day...
We celebrated by going to dinner and then a movie afterwards. Not the most partacious (I made that a word... think partying and then end with acious) Okay, so I'm not cool! Anyway we're married so we're aloud to do boring things and enjoy them.
I got him a money clip for his graduation gift. I had his initials engraved on the front and I had the nursing symbol engraved on the back. 
Can you believe it??? So I knew yesterday morning when I woke up that it was bitter cold and raining and had to be like 40 degrees out because it felt like home but this was totally unexpected. 
I was working at the mall that morning and it was so slow... there was like no one in the store at all the whole day... and I knew it was because no one wanted to go outside in weather like that but it wasn't snowing.
Later that night I couldn't stay awake as Jeff and I were watching the "Dark Knight" so I got up near the end and crawled into bed which was much colder without Jeff's insane body heat to keep me warm. I pulled all 3 blankets over my head as we had no heater in that room and instantly fell asleep. Next thing I knew, Jeff was calling my name and I opened my eyes unsure of where I was because it was pitch black. That's how tired I was. I forgot that I had blankets on top of me. When I finally realized it I pulled them back and Jeff told me it was snowing outside. I didn't believe him. I jumped up, and this is what I found:!!!
Despite freezing my butt off, it made me feel as though I was back at home. I loved it!! I miss the seasons and this was awesome! The firehouse even had a snowman outside this morning. I guess everyone was out playing in the snow at 2 in the morning!
Even Nala loved it! I think she missed it... She began running around and eating it!
But it didn't melt immediately. This was Nala playing at 11 the next morning. It was great!
Next, you might be surprised but as excited as I would have been to Martha Stewart it this Thanksgiving, that didn't happen with only my electric burners and small stove top oven. And neither of them can be used at the same time for long or the outlet will do the safety shut off thing. So we headed out to see if anything was open... and not much here in this small town. So Golden Corral it was! So this was our picture of our Thanksgiving dinner. Isn't it just grand? 
Its totally picturesque! So we headed home and took a nap to relieve our over-bloated bellies and then put the Christmas music on and finished decorating the tree and inside of the house. We are now ready for Christmas. 
I don't even care that much for pumpkin pie or any kind of pie really unless its creamy but this was so fabulous. I wish they sold pumpkins year round so I could make this stuff more often. I am leaving you all the recipe. Use a little baby pumpkin for it.
