oh, the weather outside is frightful...


it's been snowing for the past few hours and it is really beginning to look a lot like christmas. aftie has been home sick today and so we opted out of our super-fun christmas party at a friend's home tonite. but, it's been okay. i've been downloading christmas music for the past hour or so. i'll tell you, there is nothing like gwen stefani to get you in the christmas spirit! i decided to start baking tonite as well. we'll see how long i last. i usually get excited and plan to bake 20 different kinds of cookies, and then i get burned out with the first batch of chocolate chip cookies! but i did find a delicious looking little shortbread topped with chocolate and dulce de leche. so, that's a definite possibility.


we've started getting boxes from the UPS man, and nothing makes me smile more! i accidentally opened a box that ryan and i had to help santa with. ella saw it, but said "i'm not telling what that christmas surprise is!" so, i had to explain how sometimes mom and dad have to help santa with some things. hopefully that'll do the trick.


we have two advent calendars and two paper chains to help us count down the days until christmas. we're definitely in full swing around here. hope you are too!


also, thank you kara for the beautiful sweet rolls! i had to duct tape my mouth closed so i wouldn't eat them right away! you think i'm kidding.


happy weekend-ing to you!

Gotta love that UPS man, sorry you missed the party too. It is beginning to look like Christmas and if you need any help eating those cookies you know who to call.
