What a fabulous Advent season we had. It was a time full of growth and preparation, waiting in anticipation for the coming of our Savior.
David did a great job with the outside lights again this year. The house looked so beautiful!
Many evenings during our nine days off together were spent being cozy in our living room, enjoying the fire, sipping red wine.
Midwestern State University has a lights display each year, so of course we participated in the annual tradition again and thought it was as fabulously-ghetto as last year!

Stockings on Christmas morning
Christmas morning was perfect. We got up late, enjoyed mimosas and homemade cinnamon rolls. Took Mac for a walk and opened gifts. It was a relaxing and memorable day for both of us.
Thanks Darin, Laura, Dillon and Luke for the fantastic gift cards and even more the fantastic entertainment we got from the box!
Christmas Dinner with the Black Family
Table Football for the boys
And a rousing game of Jenga for the girls
We loved spending Christmas evening with the Black family. Their kids are so wonderful and it was a perfect night of laughter, games, and delicious food made by Kristi!
The week after Christmas, we had a doctor's visit in Dallas. We were able to spend the rest of the day taking advantage of the big city. It was a wonderful day full of shopping, fantastic drinks and great food!
We ended 2011 with a fairly mellow New Year's Eve. We had great company and good laughs finishing off the evening with this festive chocolate peppermint cake...here's hoping that 2012 is as delectable as our dessert!
