Christmas is here!

Well December is here, meaning christmas music blaring, delicious baking, family time, laughter, parties, ugly sweaters, snow and decorating are all acceptable now!! Although i will admit to listening to christmas music clear back in September just to put myself in a happy place. :) The other night I found myself dancing around my kitchen with my baby (in my tummy), singing along to my favorite christmas songs, flinging pots and pans around making yummy taco's for when the husband came home and decided to make chocolate truffles. So naturally I hoped on pinterest looking to find the easiest/fastest chocolate truffle recipe. I looked and looked and said "Ah i found it, two ingredients, how much easier could it get?"

They looked delicious, as you can see, so I pulled out the ingredients. All it said you would need was cream cheese and chocolate. "HA" I did what the recipe said and tasted................ um... "This is disgusting." Ha so I added some sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla.... In hopes to make it taste more like a dessert and not Blah. My Husband got home and tasted it and said it tasted delicious, so i proceeded. Let it sit in the fridge for an hour, pulled it out, rolled it into balls and then dipped it in white chocolate, letting it sit in the fridge for another hour.  Dinner was finally ready amongst all the chocolate happenings so we sat down and ate our yummy dinner and I went back to the fridge to get our cute truffles out to have for dessert. I grabbed one for me and one for the hubby and went down to the couch; sat down and handed my husband his. We both took one bite and with out a word we looked at each other with exactly the same expression on our faces, " What in the world?!" We busted up laughing as my husband proceeded to say, " It takes like I just ate a whole piece of cheesecake in one bite, its so rich!" As I'm laughing so hard trying to down some water he says, " Ya i'm gonna need some of that; my mouth is parched after that bite!" Hahaha We got a good laugh and I couldn't agree more with my husband they were AWEFUL. He very kindly finished his one truffle and i threw the rest of mine in an empty glass right next to me. I had over two dozen truffles.... and decided it would be best for me and everyone around me if i threw away the evidence. Haha

So onto our next adventure of the night, setting up and decorating our christmas tree! I was so excited I bought some eggnog for the occasion and turned up my christmas music. Our tree was really easy to set up (as fake as they come) and since we are newly weds we didn't have many decorations, but it turned out beautiful.

Of course the husband gets the honor of putting the star on top of the tree. I love our star, we got it in mexico on our honeymoon last year, and yes blake was able to get on the plane from mexico very easily with this metal star in his luggage..... Hello mexico we could have done major damage with this thing! But we didn't because we are normal human beings, anyways here is the star. :)

Isn't he the cutest thing you have ever seen?! We went camera crazy for a moment, these decorations are from our first christmas together; my mom gave them to us last year and I love them!

Our cups "half full" of eggnog ;) It was delicious... can't decorate your tree without it.

We had to get a picture of me and baby, my husband is so patient that he did exactly what I asked for to get the picture that i wanted, and he did a great job ;)

I want to make an ornament for our baby and his first christmas with mommy and daddy with this picture of me and him on it :) I love it. We had to have "B" for Baby and Bryson.

And of course it wouldn't be right to not kiss to seal the night! Dang I'm a lucky girl.

So after a fun, funny, and great night with my husband I decided I needed to give pinterest another try. Only this time it was with a craft. So me and my friends kaylee and debbie decided to do a craft night and make these really cute christmas wreaths that we found on pinterest. Here is a photo of the finished product!

 Of course the B is mine! They turned out adorable and gave me a little more hope for pinterest. :) My wreath is now hanging on my front door and I love it! This month is going to go by so fast, we have so many christmas parties and things, christmas will be here before we know it! And I couldn't be more excited to spend christmas with the fam! Happy Holidays!! :)

With Love,
