Yeah, so I know it’s been FOREVER or something like it since I’ve last posted. So this will be a picture overload post because so much has happened in a week. It’s the holidays, so we fit TONS into this last week. LONG post. You have been warned. Enjoy!

The above pictures are of a Christmas party (no duh) Charis threw at her home. It was a lot of fun, a white elephant exchange, lots of Christmas goodies and then ending with a movie. Thank you for hosting it Charis– it was wonderful! Don’t you just love my sweater?! Yeah, totally rockin’

Oh Spaghetti, how I love thee…let me count the ways…thank you for meeting me for dinner. I love your company.
Below is when Amy, a friend who’s daughter is Emma’s BFF, came over and we frosted cookies. Fun times.

You can’t see it, but I also sprinkled Cinnamon on top of the powdered sugar. So pretty.

Sorry for the blurriness, but here is a sample of half the cookies we made.

Awww, I know it’s a little blurry, but it was the best one. This is Emma’s fake smile, when someone tells her to ‘smile’ for the camera. But of course I didn’t want to take just boring pictures…take at least one funny one!

I think Emma missed that memo.

My favorite. She’s co cute, down to her sparkle shoes. So right now, as I’m typing this in my oh so attractive fleece sweatpants, Trav and I are in a hotel for a little getaway to Leavenworth. It was all planned by him and was a surprise the whole time. It was awesome. We took a train from Everett to here and am having a great time. The hotel is nice, with a fillig breakfast, but one thing that’s weird is the silly wallpaper in the bedroom. Observe below.

Nice huh. Hehehe. Nothing says romantic like crayon banner wallpaper. Sexy.

It was really slippery slushy and I almost fell a couple times. Trav thought to capture it on film. How thoughtful of him…

This is for you Mom. Found your dream home.
If you have lasted this long and read the entire post, pretend me hugging you. I consider you my friend. 🙂
