Holiday Season
We had a great Christmas season! Here are some pics from our pre-Christmas activities. :)
Bradley met Santa (a few times)!
I had two cookie exchanges so I made tons of PB kiss cookies!
I absolutely love how when I lay on the ground Bradley flops himself on top of me. Such a sweetheart!
We gave Bradley his one Christmas present early! The box arrived damaged, so we wanted to put it together to make sure all parts were ok. He ran right in and loves it!
We visited Dad at work and also went to Santaland!
Bradley was in awe!
Such a fun day. :)
An outtake from our Christmas photos - had to get this pic of Nate! Ha!
Lindsey making magic happen and Sprinkles sniffing for cookie crumbs!
Unsure of this...
Loved getting dinner and catching up with Kristin, Lea and Kristin's mom! Such a fun evening!
This was tooooo good! Holiday probz!
Dressed up for my work holiday outing! Have to be festive. :)
My phone finally didn't make it through a fall. Ugh! I do have it fixed now but this was a sad day.
When you can't find your hat then realize it is on your head...
We had a neighborhood gathering with Sprinkles the Elf! Too much fun! Bradley clearly doesn't do well being held by strangers - even elf strangers. :)
We drove to Iowa for my mom's side Christmas. My aunt and uncle's house is the perfect Christmas house!
I always love catching up with my cousin Molly!
Bradley and Grandma by the tree.
Seeing Gram!
Too many fun new friends!
It didn't go so well seeing Santa at daycare. :/
Hope everyone is enjoying the season!

Holiday Family Photos
My kind mother emailed me some old school photos. Photos from past holidays. Photos that crack me up. Photos that I hope you enjoy as well.
1. Here is me at 4 years old [is that right, Mom?]. Notice my pimptastic leg warmers and gymnastics leotard. Duh...of course it was pink and had a skirt. Also, this was my trademarked pose: hands to the side of my face, like I was going to sleep. Where did I learn this? It was somewhat of a princess pose, which fit me perfectly back then.
But the most important part of the picture: look at how wonderfully I decorated the tree. It was the "cluster ball" style of the 80's, people. And it was hot. I think Mom took this picture so I could go to bed, and then she could rearrange the whole tree.
2. Seriously creepy grin. I think I was trying to bat my eyes for the camera or something. But the most important part of this picture: look in the left hand corner. Do you see that GIANT ball ornament? I made it and it's seriously huge and ugly. My first attempt at a DIY project, I suppose. Mom still has it and always hangs it in front of a hole in the tree. Perfect!
3. Let's go back further in time, shall we? My parents' first married Christmas, 1975. Things to note here: the awesomely bad TV with tin foil bunny ears. The pathetic little Christmas tree, apparently the only one left on Christmas Eve for my poor newlywed parents. Another thing: my Mom is holding a crock pot and wearing an apron because that is what my loving father bought for her. Yep. A crock pot and an apron. As my Mom said in her email:
He was only 22, what can I say. He wised up considerably in years to come.
4. That's Dad! Getting creative with the poses in front of the pathetic tree. I hope our first married Christmas provides for such entertainment. But maybe a little bigger tree and absolutely NO stereotypical "wife" gifts from Nate. He better not try that. He's older than 22 and should know better by now:)
