Gingerbread House of the Lord

This year Adam decided to create a gingerbread Salt Lake Temple. He was actually contemplating doing that or the Biltmore Estate. Good grief! The Salt Lake Temple was definitely easier. I was a little skeptical at first, but he did a great job! He made a stencil out of poster board. He even made the dough himself. My baby's so talented!

Jonathan made this cool lookin' snowman out of fondant and airheads.

Jason and Sabrina's gingerbread house didn't fare too well. Looks like the snowman had something to do with it....

Nice to Meet Ya!

Adam and I had the pleasure of meeting our newest nephew, baby Bryce, this past weekend. He's much smaller than I imagined! He's so cute and sweet. His lungs aren't quite fully developed yet, so his cries kind of sound like kitten mews. We get to see him again this weekend. Yay!

Christmas Card 2007

Well, it's that time of year again! Adam and I finished our Christmas music video a little over a week ago. Santa seeks revenge for offenses of the previous year in Christmas Card 2007! Refresh your memory as to why in Christmas Card 2006! Just click on the picture of the video you want to see. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Craziest of the Crazy

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. Our lives have been very crazy lately. We moved out of our apartment and back in with my dad on Dec. 1. Need our new address? Email me! It's been two weeks, but we're still not quite settled. The kitty wasn't too sure about his new home at first. He hid under our bed for almost two days. We finally knew he felt more at home when he rolled over so we could rub his belly. We live in the basement, and he waits at the top of the stairs for us to come home from work/school. He isn't allowed upstairs, which makes him want to go up there even more. He managed to sneak past us once, and I imagine he'll do it again. The kitty loves to look outside. The house is backed up to some woods, and he enjoys watching the birds. Every now and then he'll see Buddy, Mayeth's german shepherd, and his whole body will puff up. It's quite funny! Oh, and Jasmine loves the kitty. At first she was scared of him, then she would scream and chase him. Now she's calmed down some, and the kitty will actually come up to her on his own.

Adam will be finishing up his last on-site semester next week. He'll then be taking two online courses starting Dec. 20 and ending at the end of Jan. Then he'll be finished! We're both very excited. Adam will go into the management program at Harris Teeter in January. I will also be starting a new job in January. I've been working at Hanes-Lineberry Funeral Home for the past three years, but I will soon be working at Sechrest Funeral Home in High Point. I was offered the position a few weeks ago, but only just recently decided to take it. It means leaving my friends and taking on a lot more responsibility. I know it'll be good for me, though, and I'm up for the challenge. Wish me luck!

I can't believe Christmas is less than two weeks away. Adam and I managed to buy a tree last Saturday. It's a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree! I can't believe how expensive the trees are this year. Adam says they've always been that expensive, we've just been lucky in the past. Anywho, we went to a tree lot and looked at the smaller trees. They had a tree a little taller than me with branches on the top and at the bottom....none in the middle. They were selling it for $1.00! I'm sure they didn't think anyone would buy it. I didn't want to buy it, but Adam insisted. The poor thing hasn't been decorated yet, but I'm sure we'll accomplish that this weekend. I also need to get out my other Christmas decor. I suppose I need to clean up some other stuff first, though. I don't have much time!

Adam and I did manage to finish our Christmas Music Video for 2007. Look for a post soon!
