Egg nog or hot chocolate?
It depends what I am in the mood for. If it is really cold, then I go for the hot chocolate. If not, I usually enough a glass of eggnog but I mix it with a little milk, if not it is way to thick.

Does Santa wrap presents or set them under the tree?
I prefer to wrap for Christmas. It makes presents more fun to open.

Colored lights on tree or white?
As of right now, we do not have a Christmas tree. But we have a lot of left over white lights from our wedding reception. So most likely when we finally get a tree, there will be white lights involved.

What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Ham

Favorite holiday memory as a child:
My brother and I waiting patiently in our rooms until our parents finally decided to come and get us. I think they would purposely take their time.

Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
When I was younger, we used too. James and I have discussed this and I believe we decided we are going to start this tradition in our family.

How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
Again, no tree yet. I just like trees that have different ornaments for memories. It is fun to get the ornaments out every year and then you get to remember that special thing that happened and why you have that ornament.

Snow! Love it or dread it?
Depends. I love it if i don't have to drive in it. I think it just makes everything look clean but driving in it is not fun.

Can you ice skate?
I think I went when I was little, but it has been a long time. I think if I tried (and after some falls) I would probably get the hang of it again.

Do you remember your favorite gift?
I don't remember a favorite gift, but I know I like everything I received :)

What's the most important thing about the holidays for you?
Being able to be with family

What is your favorite holiday dessert?
Anything chocolate is always my favorite.

What is your favorite tradition?
We don't really have any traditions yet. We will have to see what happens next year.

Which do you prefer, giving or receiving?
Both. It is fun being able to find the perfect gift for the one that you love.

Favorite Christmas Song?
I love Away in a Manager.

Candy canes! Yuck or yum?
Depends on the flavor

Ever recycled a Christmas present?
Do White Elephant gifts count?

Snow in Las Vegas

It is actually snowing in Las Vegas!! The news station says we are suppose to get 6 inches on the strip. If they close the schools tomorrow it will be the first time in almost 30 years that they have closed for weather related issues. The airport is closed and flights are grounded or being diverted someplace else because the airport does not have the equipment to clear the runways.

Thanksgiving

Hi Everyone!

So I guess James and I are going to join the blogging world. We were able to go to Wichita for Thanksgiving this year. We had a blast. While we were there we had family pictures taken. It was really fun and our pictures turned out great. I was really proud of James, he actually smiled in the pictures this year. I gave him a bad time because last year when we did family pictures we had to throw a bunch of them out because James didn't smile. So he did this year and we were very excited for how the pictures turned out. Below are some of the pictures that we took.

My sweet mom also threw me and James a baby shower while we were home. We got some great stuff for Shelby. It was also really nice to visit with some of my friends that I haven't been able to see for awhile.

It was a great visit but like a lot of vacations are, it was was too short.
