Yummy in my Tummy!

Over the weekend while we were snowed in, Justin and I decided to do some Christmas baking!!! The best and worst thing about baking is that you find yourself eating everything you make:) We made peanut butter balls, peanut butter blossoms, sugar cookies and fudge!!! Here are a couple pics of the finished product!!

Sorry they were taken with my phone:)

I hope everyone enjoys a little something or someone sweet over the holidays!! ;)

A Wonderful Winter Wonderland Surprise

This past weekend we were hit by what they are calling the Blizzard of 2009! I loved everything about it... snow angels, snowmen, hot chocolate, fire in the fire place, baking, eating, Christmas lights shining from underneath all the snow, and being snowed in with the love of your life:)!! It was a wonderful weekend... but a VERY SPECIAL one for one of my friends!

A long time friend of my brother's, Matt, met his match and decided to make it official. This past weekend they were in Washington DC, at Sonoma Restaurant, where they had there first date 5 months ago. Not only was his future fiance in for a surprise, but so was he.

Little did they know that there were four wedding photographers, ShawnRedder , Sarah Hodzic, Jessica Del Vecchio, and Kip Pierson, sitting a few tables away and the hostess, who one of the photographers knew, let them in on the little secret! Knowing what was about to happen they were able to catch the proposal on camera... Check out these pics!

After dinner they went over and introduced themselves letting Matt and his fiance know thaty they had captured that moment... and ended up having an inpromptu engagement photo shoot.... REALLY, SHUT UP this is like every girls dream... these pictures are magical and I hope you all enjoy! Contrats Matt and Meg I wish you both the very best!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

Hello friends!!! Goodness it has been a while... I hope everyone is feeling as jolly as I am right now. It's Christmas time!!!! The music, the baking, the smell of pine... I LOVE IT!

So after Thanksgiving... which was WONDERFUL by the way... take a look at everyone after the big feast!! And this is minus a few :)

Ok so now I was ready to start decorating for Christmas... As I am up in the attic bringing down the boxes, I start to realize I didn't have as many decorations as I thought I did. Living in the apartment we had a few things but now that I am in a house... there is a lot more to decorate! So needless to say I did a little shopping... whoopsies!
The lights are hung and trees are up... Drum roll please!!

Haha JUST KIDDNIG!
It may not look like that but the house is now decorated!! It still needs work but it will come with time:)

Christmas is a time to share with friends and family and I am soooo excited because the "Aunt-ourage" and crew are making there way back up to the Star City to help me spread some Christmas Cheer!

The cheer will start off with a little "Dickens of a Christmas"! This is an event held every year in the downtown market area. It's a festival that offers roasted chestnuts, carriage rides, parades, hot cider and cocoa, street performers, carolers and of course Old St. Nick himself!

Come check it out! I will follow up with how the weekend goes!!

Then it's off to holiday parties and secret Santa's!!! Here are a few pics from last year... ENJOY!
