Why am I so bad about keeping up with a blog that only contains events of my life? No idea.... but the fact remains that I am terrible at it!
So... rewind a few months back to December...
Once upon a time, my husband and I got our first real tree! Which I actually blogged about here. This was a lovely tree. Perfect in many ways, and just the right size for our little apartment (which in itself was a miracle considering we left all tape measures at home when we went to purchase said tree). Somehow I managed to misplace about half of my old Christmas decorations.... (COME hommmmmme!) so, I had to make a trip to Target for some new accessories.
On December 3rd, I shot a wedding for a lovely couple. Here are a few of my favorites!
On Christmas Eve we went to our dear friends Alex and Katie's house to celebrate Christ's birth! It was a lovely time, there were 7 of us in total I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend Christmas eve. Katie and I strung cranberries and popcorn after we ate and decorated the windows with our creations!
That night we all cuddled up on couches and watched A Christmas Story... if you haven't watched it before.... I'm not sure I'd recommend it- but being with a great group of friends makes all the difference.
After the movie, we had a grown up sleepover! All crashing in separate rooms and waking up on Christmas morning to eggs, waffles and sausage!
The next morning was Christmas! After getting up early (like a bunch of little kids), Joel and I went to his parents house for another feast! This time it was prim rib and these awesome little olive penguins Joel's brother Brent made!
It was a lovely Christmas, and through it all we celebrated the birth of our Savior, the love that He has given us and the joy of having amazing friends and family surrounding us.
Fast forward a bit... On January 28, I went and chopped off 10 inches of hair! Talk about a change!
Happy Presidents day everyone ;)
Love,
Carrie
