Tuckered out...

Kosar all tuckered out after playing with his new toy... :)

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from Our house to Yours!!


We had a great Christmas.  We went to midnight mass (well, really it started at 11:00pm) last night.  It was a beautiful mass.  We got up this morning and opened gifts.  We received a lot of nice gifts from both of our parents.  We got clothes, books, movies, bathroom stuff, and gift cards! :)  The pups were also spoiled too... Evan got me an Amazon kindle fire! :) And I got Evan an AMP bed extender.  The rest of the day we spent enjoying each other's company.  It was a very calm and relaxing Christmas.  <3


Our new movie collection... :)  We are super excited! 

Evan putting together Bentley's stairs... While Bentley patiently waits...

Our Christmas dinner... Cornish Game Hen, Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans... :)

And of course... Mikayla opening the gifts that Aunt Kristina and Evan got her! <3  We asked for her to open them up on Christmas Eve so we could get pictures of her opening up just our gifts and so we could talk to her.  She got a 4 in one puzzle/memory Elmo game and an Elmo hoodie with her name on it.  

We hope you had a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!! 

One of Evan's first songs for me...

Apparently I'm going to spend my evening listening to songs on youtube.... But, here is another song that Evan "dedicated" to me... This one was when we first started talking... when he was trying to get me to start dating him... <3

Evan's song for me...

Me and Evan have a lot of special songs that mean a lot to us.  Below is one (of the many) that Evan has dedicated to me.  We were best friends for about a year before we started "officially" dating.  He worked really hard to get me as a girlfriend.  As an engaged couple, things are just perfect.  We are very excited for our future... 


There are moments when Evan does things, says things, or just is himself, that I realize I'm over the moon happy that we get to be together for the rest of our lives.  Evan put this song on my facebook about a month ago.  Every time I hear it now, it just makes me smile.  I love my penguin! 

Christmas Countdown

We have 5 days left until Christmas...  We are going to the Christmas Eve mass at 11:00pm... We are going to go about 30 minutes early for some of the Venetian Concert.  We are really excited to be able to go to mass at our church this year for Christmas.  We are going to miss our families, but we are excited to start our own traditions! :)  We are also excited for 2012!  We have less than 5 months until  our big day! 

Christmas Lights...

We decided to go looking at Christmas lights tonight.  There are so many great ideas that people come up with.  It's so great to get out and see them all.  We found a house that the lights on the house light up to music.  They even had a screen that showed Christmas pictures.  It was amazing.  Below is a picture.  All of the house were really pretty.  It's so hard to believe Christmas will be here in 8 days! 

Gingerbread House! :)

This morning I got up and went and tried on my dress.  It went great! :)  I go for alterations in February... We only have 5 months left! 


Then I came home and me and Evan made our Gingerbread house!  It's always a lot of fun.  Below are some pictures of us building our Gingerbread house together.... And then the finished product!  

Christmas Time! :)

We went and picked out our Christmas tree Thursday night!  :)  We picked out the perfect tree... Our new family tradition is to get a real Christmas tree.  We absolutely love it! Here is a picture of Evan putting the star on top of our little family tree! <3  And then the finished product!   Such a perfect evening!!  It's going to be a great Christmas!!
