This was such a sweet and fun December. Even though, it really went by to fast. I remember telling myself at one point, "Slow down....please!" Jeremy and I were gone the first week of December to Las Vegas. Even though we were together (which was the best part) and we got to go to the NFR (the other best part), I am still so saddened by how lost that city is. On a happier note, they decorate unbelievable for Christmas! Here are a few of my favorites:
Made with all real roses!
Made with all carnations!
The rocking horse actually rocked!
Made with pecans!
So, when we got home we had to decorate our house for Christmas. With that done, I did lots of baking; I made some homemade peppermint hot chocolate, gingerbread (and gingerbread men), bakerella.com's cake balls, caramel cakes in a jar, cheesecake, and monkey munch. Seems like there was more....but does it really matter??? Here are a few of our gingerbread men (the girls had so much fun making these....and eating them!
Oh and SNOW!!!! Can't believe we got snow Christmas night! We had family here that night and as they were leaving it was really coming down. It snowed all night and when we got up the next morning, we went out about 8:30AM and finally came in about 12:45PM for lunch.
It was the best snow for so many reasons. It was great powder, it was really deep, and it none of us got freezing cold.
As my brother-in-law says,"The world looks innocent when it snows." I agree.
What a good December. Can't wait to see what January 2011 has in store!!!
