On the 1st day of Christmas...

It's the first day of Christmas! Christmas is ONLY 12 days away-yikes YAY!!  Like always, we've procrastinated our shopping and now we have a ton to get done in just one short week. It wouldn't be Christmas without having to run all over town with all the other crazies, right?! Hoping to get most of our shopping done this weekend, but the holiday parties are starting this weekend so we'll see what actually gets done. Last year I was 9 weeks pregnant and just about to share our big news with all of our families. Crazy to think that we were pregnant with a little bean and spending our first Christmas together as husband and wife just one short year ago. It has been our favorite Christmas thus far, but we're pretty sure this year will top all others!

Our house was decked with holiday cheer last week and Emerson can't get enough of it! He is completely entranced by the twinkling of the lights and the sparkle of all the glitter. Of course we had to snap a few cliche pictures with him and the lights - don't worry, no babies were harmed in the making of these great pics!



We knew he'd love the lights because the week before last our friends invited us to look at Christmas lights with them and he was in awe. We all went out to dinner and then drove to "Deacon Dave's" to checkout this year's masterpiece. Apparently this is the place to be come Christmas time, but this is the first year I've been. Maybe we started a new tradition with Emerson! The lights were gorgeous, but it was cold and rainy so we didn't get too many great shots. Here's the few we were able to get.
The babes all bundled up!

We're standing on the "Proposal Bridge" and I can see why!

Nice and cozy


Two weeks ago we had Emerson's holiday pictures taken and I'm obsessed! This kid is just too flipping cute! I just want to squeeze his chubby cheeks! These pics made for our best Christmas card yet!



We're getting so excited for our little guy's first Christmas Eve and Christmas morning! Fingers crossed a new camera will be in mama's stocking! I need to start posting top-notch quality pics! I pushed a baby out my hoohah; I think I deserve it! :) 

Our Christmas festivities will be posted soon so until then have a very Merry Christmas! We love you all!
