.holiday fun.

So far in our marriage we've tried to buy a new special ornament for Christmas every year.

Well, in an attempt to be creative and less expensive, we decided to make ornaments this year instead!

Creative: yes.
Less expensive: heck no.
But such a fun date night!

Steve wanted to do a baby theme and found an easy looking ornament on etsy.
No idea how he came up with etsy, but I thought it was hilarious.
So we made cute little blocks!

Steve's block--he did a family one.
And he's quite the calligrapher, if I may say so.
Where does he come up with these talents?

And my block.
I wrote down my due date and our baby's potential initials,
so I may end up having to completely change my ornament or just throw it away, haha.

And then we made delicious wassail and fell asleep to Elf.
PS--Just FYI, cuddling on the couch when nine months pregnant is NOT comfortable.
Getting out the air mattress to lay down and watch a movie--brilliant. :)


Then the next day we headed up to Dover with our friends Cody and Skye to an apple orchard that was hosting some Christmas festivities.
Free hayrides, smores, homemade apple cider, Christmas shopping and Santa Claus?
Count us in.

And while we were up there, we decided to explore a little bit.
So we ended up at the Dover Downs!
Casino, hotel, spa, racetrack....
We'll definitely have to get back there during the racing season.
Steve wants to grow a mullet by then so he can fit in. :)
