Family Pictures 2010

Well our Friend Ashley got us our pictures today. Here are a few that she took. It is cool to think that these are our first family pictures, Jon, me, James and even Sage!!

Hope you enjoy

Cookies!

It is really now feeling like the holidays. Christmas tree is up, some presents are under it, decorations are up. And lastly the baking of Christmas Cookies have started!! Now I will confess that technically it started a few days ago. See I thought I could get a way with making sugar cookies out of a Betty Crocker bag, but no they just did not taste right.

I promised Jon I would take the time and make them from scratch. I did that today, and they taste so good!! Now I need to make sure I do not eat them all, by the time Jon comes home :)

Oh Christmas Tree

Christmas would happen to be my favorite holiday and season! I love getting and decorating the tree, I love the fresh smell they bring into the house. When I have more money and possibly bigger house, my wish would be to have a decorated tree in all rooms of the house :)



(Sorry the picture is not doing the tree justice)

P.S if you look closely at the top of the tree, in the background you can kind of see the difference in paint.

Preview

I have a friend who is starting a photography business and needed people to photograph to build her portfolio. So I had the idea, it would be fun to get some winter pictures of us, and possibly use them for a Christmas card. Right now she has only one done and sent it to us. When I get more I will post them. I am really excited. I am pretty sure Jon and I are not the easiest to photograph, but I think she got some good ones :)



Oh and don't worry we did get some of Sage, but she had her moments of cooperation.

More Paint

I have the most wonderful husband ever!! He has started working Friday's and Saturday's, which makes for a really long week. Well today he was lucky to get off. So what did we do...we painted our living room! I had to use some of my birthday money, cause painting the living room was not a high priority on Jons list, but he did it with a smile on his face. I would post a picture but I can not get one that turns out great. It is a kind of tan/ rosy color. We both love it. I did have to promise not to push him to paint the hallway yet, but hopefully it will be done before James gets here. Needless to say I love him!!

Also he made my day even more by taking me to go cut down a Christmas Tree. There is only 1 'U-Cut' place I found in our area. We didn't have very much time, but we got one. I will post a picture once we get it decorated.

After all the hard work Jon did for us today, I let him have the evening off!!
