Siked on Christmas.

There's nothing like December. Baked goods, the smell of pine, Nat King Cole, family, caroling, and, above all else, celebrating that little baby that gave life (and death) new meaning.

Preparations for Christmas with the boy:

Side note:
Because Alex and I are only on round two of Christmas at the Grob's, we are lacking c-time decor. So. I made these fancy cardboard cut-out signs. (Signs that I think are quite fantastic).

Joy/to/the/world, friends. Joy, joy, joy.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving. 
My family has always been Thanksgiving people. We love cooking, we love eating, and (for the most part) we love people. And we definitely love being around each other.
And it's cheesy, I know. But I am one blessed gal. 
I spent Thanksgiving surrounded by families I love and love to be a part of. 
 

Here are some photos from Thanksgiving at the Lance's:

Alex and I have three families. So when it comes to holidays, sometimes things get a little stressful. But really, we just have more to be thankful for. We love being a part of the Grobs, Lovelaces, and Lances. And as a bonus, after over a year of being married, we still really love each other. And we plan to keep it that way.
