Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Oh my goodness I think this is the first time I've slowed down since the first of December. I love this time of year, but it's so crazy... a good crazy.... A crazy filled with lots of family, fun, parties and tons of food! It's a good thing "losing weight and eating healthy" isn't on my resolution list this year.  Actually, I don't have anything on my resolution list. I should really probably work on that. At least I did whip up some black eyed peas, cabbage and a big ol' ham today (that should count for something.)
Christmas was so.much.fun this year with Luke. He's finally getting to the "fun" age where he sorta kinda knew what was going on and could open presents. Of course, he's also to that age where he's totally not a fan of Santa.... at all.

 

Like the other years, we kept it low key on the gifts. But I think Luke and Ashlyn were both pretty happy with their presents.

 

 

 

Then there's New Year's Eve-- also our anniversary! This year for our 3rd anniversary we went to AJ's and enjoyed a delicious three course meal-- The filet topped with crab meat in a white wine sauce was ahhhmaaziing... and the chocolate cake was to.die.for... seriously!!! Like I said, it's a good thing I don't have any resolutions this year b/c I plan on going back for some more of that stuff!

Happy New Year, y'all!!
