I was so thankful that I was able to hang out with Sarah and Izzie Saturday night after the wedding. Eating icecream, looking at Christmas lights, reindeer, and repeatedly singing frosty the snowman with Izzie. I also learned a very valuable lesson, do not let a two year old taste your icecream because she might decide she like yours better than hers and want to eat your whole cone.

Shiree's Wedding
Last weekend I was able to go to one of my best friends weddings. Shiree was a gorgeous bride and the whole wedding was beautiful. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of her day.

The Big 2-5
So last week I turned 25. It felt like a real milestone, the last couple of years have flown by. At least people still tell me I look like I could be in high school. (which an elderly lady at church kept telling me last week).
During the day it was not terribly exciting I had work, and at 8:20 when I left my house to walk the 7 blocks to work the weather decided that it wanted to have hurricane like wind and rain. So what is usually a short and enjoyable walk, seemed to last forever. By the time I made it to work by skirt was soaked, my hair was wet, my shoes were sloshing, and I had mascara running down my face. Not a great start to the day. After a day of work I had class where my 20 page term paper was due.

But after class things started looking up for me. When I got home around 7:45 I was greeted by this:
presents and a note from Joseph. (He has class Wednesday nights until 8:50). When he got home we ate yummy desserts Joseph got from a local bakery, opened presents and spent time hanging out together. It was a really great night.
Inside that red box are a beautiful pair of black boots from Joseph. I love them, they make me feel more like a city girl and they keep my legs and feet so much warmer while walking to work.
This is Joseph singing the happy birthday song and doing a special dance
Then on Friday night the party continued. Joseph took me to dinner at Modo Mio. Quite possibly the best dinner I have ever eaten in my entire life. It was absolutely amazing how delicious everything was. We each got four courses, and ate every single thing that was on our plates. When we left it was hard to move I was so full. It was a fun date night, we each ordered something different for each course so that we could try twice as much food. For our pasta plates I had to use every ounce of self control within my body to not lick the plate clean. It seemed such a shame to waste it, it was so tasty. I love birthdays!
Christmas Decorations
After we got back from Thanksgiving I couldn't wait to put up our Christmas decorations. I feel like they make our house so much more festive. Also, I love putting up the ornaments that I have gotten every year as a child. It is so fun seeing my favorites from over the years and thinking about where they came from. I am really glad that my parents gave us each our own ornaments every year so that now we have them for our tree.
Our tree is little but I think it is so cute, I just love it.
This is the nativity the year we went to Germany for Christmas, it is one of my favorite purchases.
Our stockings that I made last year (with my moms help), I love them!

Thanksgiving
This year for Thanksgiving we went down to Virginia and had a nice relaxing weekend with my parents, Matt and Savannah and my Uncle Eric and Aunt Leslie. The day started off very early (7:00am) for pie making.
I got put in charge of the apple pie, which turned out tasty but not fantastic
Joseph was in charge of the Pecan Pie (because he refused to have a Thanksgiving without a pecan pie and stepped up to the task), which by assessment of the group was the best pie of the bunch. I was so proud of Joseph and one of his first baking experiences.
Of course before we stuffed ourselves with pie we enjoyed a delicious feast of all the holiday favorites.
The rest of the weekend was spent Christmas shopping, helping mom set up her Christmas decorations and making pecan balls. I now have a large container of these on my counter.
We got back to Philadelphia late Sunday night, just in time to start a busy week of school and work.
