A Very Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Don't worry that Nate woke me up at 5:30 this morning because he was so excited to open presents. We were very spoiled this year. We are looking forward to a great musical program at church this morning and later this evening we are going to have a prime rib dinner with some of Nate's siblings. I'm in charge of the prime rib, I've never made one or eaten one before so wish me luck! Merry Christmas!!

In Which I Look Like a Polygamist

I interrupt your afternoon with an awful picture. Please, please let me set the tone for your picture viewing (or make a desperate excuse). I was wearing my hair down and straight, until I started my baking. I hate standing over a hot oven with hair in my face so I pulled my bangs and the hair right around my face up into a clip. But a few minutes I was still hot so I figured I should pull all my hair up off my neck, so I just did a quick loose pony tail. An hour or so into baking I went to use the bathroom and saw this in the mirror, there is a polygamist in my house!!! I was amused and horrified all at the same time. Even though I live in Utah, I promise that I don't know or associate with Warren Jeffs, and despite one nightmare, I am Nate's only wife and he is my only husband. I promise! Anyway, after I paused to take a picture to entertain all of you, I did fix my hair. No more poofy bangs and long hair trailing down my back. Let's just say, lesson learned.

Ahh, I am SO embarrassed! The only good thing you can say about this picture is that it's good I didn't french braid it.


P.S. No, I don't have any makeup on, my eyes have been so watery today and so I didn't put any on. Also, this photo is in my laundry room/ 1/2 bath, hence the towels.

P.P.S. Alisha, you are still my favorite hair stylist of all time and I promise I won't embarrass you by looking like this ever again! That reminds me, I need to call you and schedule a trim.

P.P.S. There's a picture for you Heather, now will you send me an invite to your blog? My email is on the side bar.

Text Love

I just got the best text message from my handsome husband. And I quote,

"You should get some of the presents today so that you can get your wrap on."

Awesome!! I LOVE wrapping presents, love it, love it, love it! I bought ridiculously cute wrapping paper this year and I just bought a gift wrap and ribbon organizer. Now I just need the UPS guy to get here! Thanks Natey, you made my day!
