month in a whirl

This blog feels exactly like what our lives have been like- as in the last month and a half disappeared without a trace! I blinked and Christmas was over along with the better part of January. Seriously?!?! So here is quick recap of all the winter craziness....

We went to a "Holiday Spectacular" (how could we resist something called that!) at The Springs Preserve. Siena got to ride a reindeer, put in a good word with Santa, and eat about a lb and a half of candy. I did "help" finish her cotton candy... being the good mother that I am.

We made cookies... about 15 times...

Went up to the snow for some sledding and snow angel making.

Saw Disney on Ice. This is the only picture I have of us there because Siena kept telling me to "take a picture of that princess!" We were like the princess paparazzi so I basically have 200 photos of people I don't know, dancing around in costumes. hmmmm...

I turned 29! Ok I just rolled my eyes when I typed that exclamation point. I'm not excited. Next year is 30. How.did.this.happen. Sorry no pictures- I hadn't put my teeth in or drank my Metamucil yet.

Brandon actually dressed up for Christmas. I had to document this because it is the only time all year (besides when he comes home from work) that he isn't wearing a holey t-shirt.

This was the first year Siena was super excited about Christmas morning. We had so much fun and she got WAY too much stuff!

I woke up to look out my window and see this! Seriously crazy snow storm at our house.

We made homemade peppermint marshmallows. They were amazing-ly delicious. Hot chocolate may never be the same. I only mention this because it was a sticky, irritating mess, and I need to remind myself that the end result was worth it. It was.

I'm sure there are about 50 other things I am forgetting. It's safe to say we had an amazing holiday, loved seeing all of our families, and are counting down the days till December is back!!
