Sugar Cookies Galore

This holiday season, many sugar cookies were made- 7 batches to be correct! Will and I brought cookies to our work, gave them out to friends, and brought them home to our families. I ate Christmas cookies and milk for breakfast many mornings!!!! Oh, the holidays!

Ahhhh, Family Christmas Time!!!!

Although our gifts might seem kinda lame and unremarkable, my family and I actually had a pretty nice Christmas this year. I brought tons of homemade cookies, my mom made a ham and all that good stuff, and even a trip to my grandmother's house wasn't that terrible. What a lovely Christmas!

Open Your Presents, Spencer!

Spencer got lots of presents for Christmas, of course! .....Not that he was all that good of a boy or anything. I thought this series of photos of Spencer opening up his present and then tearing all of the wrapping paper into little, itty, bitty shreds was kinda cute so here ya go!

Knitted Presents from Emily!

Better late than never...... Christmas always rules cause you get presents, duh. My coolest presents were knitted by Miss Emily! I love, love, love my knitted owl (although it is a bitch to keep away from Spencer the Dog), I wear my cute knitted hat everyday, and I have totally been rocking the flowers in my hair and stuff. Pure knitted perfection! I love it!

Getting all gussied up for Christmas

Look at how huge Spencer's tongue is here!!! My pup got sooo excited when we got his sweater on that he started running around like a maniac. Needless to say, it was close to impossible to photograph the boy then. We even tried to bribe him with Cheerios and I think that just made him even more crazy. The dog will do anything for food, what can I say!

We held Spencer up so he could sniff the tree. In reality, he could not care less about human stuff like Christmas trees and whatnot. For Spencer, he mostly just wants to eat, sleep, play, chew and poop!

Christmas Treeeeeeee!

Will and I put up the Christmas tree the other day and it is very cute! We got a little tree at Hobby Lobby 1/2 off, a set of glass ornaments, some cheesy tinsel garland, and fancy twinkle lights. The tree seemed to be missing something so I started to search the house for other stuff to add. I spotted my fake fruit and thought, "Genius idea!" After the fake fruit, I then added some fake Hawaiian flowers into the branches as well. Our tree turned out beautifully! I love it.

Last night, Will and I turned out all of room lights and turned on the Christmas tree. We watched it twinkle until we drifted asleep. I felt very nostalgic and happy for this:)

Our wreath. I love this thing. I paid 50 cents for it!

Ugly Dog Sweater

Tis' the season......

To dress dogs up in hilarious sweaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today, I got Spencer some crappy dog sweater out of the One Spot at Target. The tag on it specifically said, "Ugly Dog Sweater." Sounds about accurate. I think Spenc looks adorable:)

Digging up old photos....

I have come to realize that I have not always been the best at documenting life..... I was trying to find some photos of Will and I when we first started dating and I can barely find a single photo for the first year of our dating. Sheesh! The only reasons I can think why this is so is because we were dating long distance and only saw one another on weekends and I hated the way I looked at the time. But still!

Here's to documenting life, no matter how silly or ugly it might be! Cheers!

Will and I look like absolute kids here. This was taken at the Mill in the fall of 2006.

This photo sucks. Well, Will looks OK. I was kinda chunky looking. Anyhow, this was St. Patty's Day, March 2007.

Will turns 21! Pre-drunk, I think.

Our first anniversary! September 2007.

Will and I at the Mill again... September 2007.

Halloween 2007.

His mom said she needed a holiday photo so we took this one in front of the tree. December 2007.
