Decorating the tree

I'm so excited for Emilee's first Christmas! :) Tonight we decorated our tree. I made yummy pepporcorn steak for dinner with rice and green beans. We built our tree (Yeah, it's fake, whatever), put the lights on and decorated. Emilee slept through ALL of that! I can't believe we actually got it all done! I found Taylor Swifts Christmas album on grooveshark and played it while we decorated the tree. We also sipped peppermint hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows and crushed up Ghirardelli's peppermint bark on top. YUM!

All ready with our hot chocolate!

Yum yum!

This is my newest ornament. No special meaning - I just love snowmen and he was sooo cute and on sale! :)


This one is for our first year of marriage. It's our wedding photo and the tag says "2006" which is the year we were married.

We got this one when we bought our first house

This year Nae made me a beautiful cupcake ornament in memory of our best friend Carrisa! I love it! :)

I got this last year shortly after she passed away. It's a bling-y frame, just like she'd like. One of my favorite pictures of us. I miss her!

We got this when we were in Maui last November.

Ryan LOVES sports...

And I love GIRAFFES!!! :)

Daddy also loves Emilee

The Family! (Tried to set up the self-timer. HAHA.)

Emilee the Christmas-Cutie!!!

Now I just need to get a special ornament for Emilee's first Christmas. I really like the one Grammy Tammy got this year. Little pink booties! I need it! :)
