Merry Christmas

We hope that you all have a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year. If you didn't get a Christmas card from us this year, here are the photos that we used in it. When we went to do them we still had snow on the ground. So we decided to take advantage of it and I think that this years photo turned out the best that we've ever done.

Christmas 2012

The only photos I took this year of Christmas was at our house.  We had to get on the roads really early so I didn't take any at my parent's house.  We wanted to get on the roads before the snow came and it was a good thing that we did.  We made it to Mena just as it was raining and changing over to sleet.  Mena actually got 12 inches of snow and the roads were so bad that we weren't able to come home until the 27th!  We didn't even get any snow at home and the forecast said we would.  Chris and I have had our fill of snow for a very long time!!

If you don't know me, I LOVE penguins!

This is actually a funny gift because I got hungry in the airport in New York City.  So Chris bought us chocolate covered pretzels and we finally finished eating them in Rome!

Chris wanted an old man sweater.

This is what it looked like when it started sleeting and snowing.

Snowball fight!!

This is what it looked like midway.

After it was all finished the next day.  Chris took me out on the mule and we drove around for awhile.

I love their wood burning fireplace!

Christmas 2011

Christmas seemed to go by so fast last year.  It feels like we only had the Christmas decorations up for a week or so but we had them up for over a month.  I just can't believe how quick Christmas came and went.

We didn't go all out for Christmas last year because a lot of the lights broke.

We decided to do something different for our annual Christmas card photo.  Since we now have three dogs it's a little hard to get them all in the photo together and for them to behave nicely.  So we took individual photos of the pups and a photo of the two of us.  Here were the photos that we used in our Christmas card.

Christmas 2010

Sorry this post is so late but January hasn't been the best month for illness for me.  I'm a person who is rarely ever sick but I have been sick with a really bad cold and some stomach thing.  Let's hope that the rest of the month goes by more smoothly for me!  We split our Christmas up into 3 parts that way we are able to see all of our families.  We do our Christmas really early in the morning and then go to my parents house.  Then we drive down to Mena to see Chris's family.

I love this Razorback Columbia jacket Chris got me!

Chris plans on spending a lot of time playing disc golf.

Baxter's new toy only lasted a few minutes!!

My parent's Christmas tree.

I love this hat!

Daddy can balance presents.

We've been spending a lot of time doing P90X.

 I didn't take any pictures at Chris's parents house this year because Chris's mom got a new camera for Christmas and took most of the pictures this year.

I love wood burning fireplaces!!

My wonderful in-laws and my fabulous parents got me a Coach handbag for Christmas.  I know that it is probably materialistic to want something like this.  But I plan on using this purse for YEARS to come!! Thank you guys so much for this!!

It's gone to the Dogs

It's our first post of the new year and I thought I'd post some pictures of the dogs Christmas. We've been so busy the last couple of weeks that I am having to play catch up on a lot of stuff. We actually got to have a white Christmas this year, unfortunately since we had to travel that afternoon we didn't get to go outside in play in the snow. Hopefully we'll get some more snow soon so we can build a snowman!


We did get to take a few pictures of our snow covered yard before we left.

Don't feel sorry for my dogs my parent's dogs got in on the action this Christmas as well.

Christmas with the Bosch's

After a full day of decorating both inside and outside we are finally finished decorating for Christmas. I really can't say that though because we're always adding more ornaments or little decorations, but for the most part we are done. We are also almost done shopping for Christmas as well. We just have one more person to buy for and she just wants sugar free candy! Here are some pictures of some of our decorations. Chris already has grand plans for next years outside decor.
