christmas

the hubs and i love christmas.

we love christmas music.

christmas decorations.

christmas traditions.

we just think it's the best time of the year.

so here's a look at how we celebrated.

we went to our first ugly sweater party

it was a blast. we chatted, ate and played games.

we had a great time.

there's more about the party here and here

santa came a few weeks early for us.

we got a desktop computer, monitor, desk, chair and printer.

we now officially have a study room.

and the world's tightest printer. it can:

1. print a picture straight from our phone onto 4x6 photo paper.

2. print coloring pages, lined graph paper, print coupons from it's own app.

3. works offline (no hooking up cords just to print something real quick)

number one is probably only the cool thing about it though.

this year for lance's grandparents present i had no idea what we'd do. i wondered around hobby lobby for a good while until i thought about a craft i have been wanting to try and now was a good excuse. glass etching. easy peasy!

papa larry got a cookie jar.

and a christmas block for grandma linda hall.

deck the halls... get it? a pun on her last name. ha. i dont think she got it.

here is my favorite christmas present!!

my mom and dad both worked on this rag quilt for lance and me.

it has pictures of us (and orion) on it and the color and pattern is just perfect.

i love it!!

here is our hypothetical christmas card.

pretend it came in the mail and is currently decorating your fridge.
