December

December was been filled with working at PNC, decorating for Christmas, Christmas shopping, Christmas, hanging out with friends, and STAR WARS! :D 

Garner/Clayton Friends Christmas party- John and I hosted this group of friends annual Christmas party this year. Everyone brought yummy foods and drinks and we had fun doing our white elephant exchange. It was great to see everyone before the holidays!

College Friendsgivemas- Krystal and Josh hosted all of our college friends for a Christmas party. We had more of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner since we didnt have time to get together for Thanksgiving and then we did a white elephant exchange. It was a lot of fun. Thomas and Kaity brought Ricky and Owen. Krystal had the great idea of making sure Ricky had some gifts to open while the adults did- so we created his own little pile. He was SO excited. I've never really watched kids open gifts before, but I can definitely see just how much more fun they make the holidays. A little hot wheel he opened was THE BEST THING EVER! So adorable. He also told Kaity that this year he wanted to give presents too. So she took him to the dollar store and gave him $20 to spend on whatever he wanted. He was SO excited to be able to buy 20 gifts! Then on the way to our party, he was like OH NO! We forgot someone in our family! She was like who? He told her Anna and John and the puppies (meaning Carter and Bailey). He said they are my godparents which means they are family but not related. So they stopped and she let him get us something. He is the sweetest little boy in the world. So thoughtful and too smart for his own good! I'm sad I forgot pictures.

Mini Chicken and Waffles!- John had to take something to work for his work Christmas party and found these! I decided to make them for him- so cute and so much fun!

Candy Sleighs- One of my  moms co-workers made these for everyone in the office. She sent me a picture of them and I just had to make them for our party! TOO cute! :D

Work friends- I sure do love walks with these ladies. So much fun :D We found Santa! 

 Getting crafty!- I saw these on Facebook and decided to make them! I really like how they turned out :D and now my dead ferns are not monopolizing my porch, but these pretty Christmas baskets!

 Angus Barn- Johns company has their Christmas party at the Angus Barn! NOMS! We had a great time! It's always great to see his co-workers and enjoy a GREAT meal! 

STAR WARS- It was so good. That is all I will say.

Charlie Brown :(-  I went to get my hair down on Christmas Eve Eve and found this in the mustang...if you cant see it- it's a ton of standing water :(. From this we ended up having to take the car apart- seats, carpet, etc. Now we are trying to figure out how to fix it. We did get new tires for it! So that's good. Until we fix it though, we are driving it with only 2 seats in it. haha. I am so proud of John for taking on this project though :D

CARTER TURNED 5!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe my little baby is already 5 years old.  He's growing up too fast. Opening a present :D I love watching him open them!

 Christmas!- I still cant believe Christmas came and went already. I didnt take any pictures- AT ALL. Not of decorations, family, presents, food- nothing! Christmas day we went to John's grandmas house and spent the morning with his dad's side of the family. Afterwards, the Martins came back to our house and we did Christmas together. We had to wait a few days to do Christmas with family because they went up to visit the Coopers. When we did do Christmas with them, we got Mellow Mushroom- YUM and exchanged presents :D. IT was nice to see everyone we saw and spend some time with them. Next year, I'll take pictures! haha. 

John did surprise me with a fitbit! So I am working on getting healthy :D Thanks babe!

New Years Eve- We brought in the New Year with friends at the Kinlaws house! It was a nice little get together. I cant believe it is already 2016!!!
