Say CHEESE...it's Christmas!


I saw this fun way to take Christmas pictures 
And thought I would give it a try :)


We had a lot of fun getting prettied up and taking pictures ALL morning long
I'm definitely NOT professional, but it was fun all the same :)



















 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Ginger-Cracker houses

Who doesn't love making gingerbread houses?
Well more like Graham Cracker houses, but just as fun!

(Crystal cuddling with "HER" guys)

We had some friends over for a ginger/cracker house night.
We let Crystal stay up late to join in the fun
And she took first place because (as she stated)
"You know, I think I win because mine is different."
We couldn't agree more :)



I have a confession...
I thought I was a brilliant thinker for using hot glue to hold the house together...
FYI..do not try this. It WILL come back to haunt you
and you will end up with a poor excuse for a home. :)


 Luckily we had all night to work out the kinks
And in the end, we all had beautiful candy homes :)



Who?...what?...Is that who I think it is?


We played white elephant for one of our Christmas parties
And this is the gift Brian and I gave....
A BIG, framed, poster-size protrait of our face. HeHe

At first we did it as a joke
Thinking only we would find it absolutely hilarious.
I was surprised when it became the hit of the party.

I'm not going to lie...every time I look at this,
I get creepy goose bumps, and can't stop staring
And I can't help but giggle a little inside.

Merry Christmas :)
