It's Starting to Feel Like Christmas...

Last night, our Sunday School class met at P.F. Changs for our Christmas Social. It was so great to see everyone and fellowship with our friends. Here are pics from our night.

Me, Kristina and Adell

The little monkey got tired of sitting in his high chair and wanted to go around the table and visit. He is such a flirt!

The guys (probably not wanting their pics taken). Thanks guys for humoring me :)

The rest of our class

After dinner, we came home and celebrated Christmas with our sweet angel. He enjoyed unwrapping his gift and LOVES his new toys!

He was starting to catch on

Me and my baby opening his first Christmas gift

I think I enjoyed unwrapping the gift more than he did

This was his present. The Bee Bop Band Set. We think he is musically talented and he loves to bang on stuff so we thought this gift was appropriate :)

We are leaving this weekend, going back home to celebrate Christmas with the hubby's side of the family. So be sure and check back for some cute pics of the little monkey at his first family Christmas event!

Mommy's Making Memories......

This year, I did something totally different.........I designed our Christmas Card from scratch! Usually, I wait to the last minute and just pick a card from shutterfly.com and print it, but this year I wanted something different since it's the little monkey's first Christmas. So, I got crafty and designed this card all by myself using Photoshop. I think it turned out pretty good :)

For obvious reasons, I have blurred out our names.

I also want to note that I can't believe Christmas is next Friday and that I am not prepared for it at all. We did purchase the little monkey's gift tonight so at least we have one gift down. We have decided to celebrate Christmas at our house this week. So, make sure you check back for pics of the little guy unwrapping his Christmas gift ( it's gonna be adorable).

Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas....

I love this time of year!! Family gatherings, good food, office parties, decorations, Santa and Christmas music. If I could celebrate Christmas all year round I would. I have been guilty of listening to Christmas music in July :) I just can't get enough of it! Tonight, the Hubby had his annual Christmas office party and we left the little monkey with Grams and Papa for the evening. It was POURING down rain the entire time we were gone, which made the drive to and from very difficult, but we got there safe and sound. Before we left for the party we decided to attempt our Christmas card pic. Here are pics from our evening.

I think we should go with this one :)

The Hubby won two awards tonight. The Spot Bonus Award and The Traveler's Award. I am so proud of him. He's such a hard worker.

This morning, I left the little guy with my in-laws so I could do some Christmas shopping. This is what I discovered on my camera tonight while I was loading pics.

This is so cute
