BUT STILL AS TRUE AS EVER!!


We all hear the same speeches year after year about baby Jesus and Christmas. But no one, no matter how orthodox they claim to be, spends the whole month of December excited about baby Jesus!! We all have to hear the "Let's remember the true meaning of Christmas this year" speech every year, but it still doesn't make a difference.

So America, here is what Christmas is really all about:

1. Shopping - Sales, Extended hours, Credit cards, and Malls.

2. Food - Chocolate, Odd Cakes, Absolutely useless bundts, Peppermint, and Meat.

3. Ugly Sweaters - Thank goodness we all know a few people who keep this tradition alive.

4. Trees - Cut one down just to put it in your house. Awesome!

So I urge you...this year, let's forget all about baby Jesus and focus on the good stuff.

Gingerbread Houses & Zoo Lights

We have SO MUCH FUN with our friends D'laina and Mike and their two boys Ethan (4) and Brock (1). Lily and Ethan act like brother and sister--either playing great together or fighting like crazy. Luckily they have more fun than anything else!

It has been so fun to celebrate Christmas with these guys! Here we are making gingerbread houses with them and our friends Sean and Toby (3):







Here are some pics from our freezing night at the Hogle Zoo in SLC:

Christmas Crafts: Part 1

Look at these cute clipboards my girlfriend D'Laina and I made to count down the days until Christmas! So fun, so cute, and so easy!



So far, we are working our butts off to get ready for Christmas. How close are you??

Ballerina

Every day we are dressing up in leotards and dancing. It is fun and keeps us frolicking around the house!
