our house is all decked out!!!! love it :) 

turns out i went to pick out a table top christmas tree and ended up with two! so we put them both up and got to use all our ornaments. miss abby did a fabulous job! i'll take a picture this week. being sick kind of took a toll on us and our house. so we cleaned, and cleaned, and cleaned.....

we also started on a charlie brown christmas puzzle (500 pieces). so fun! ryan and i did it for the 1st time when abby was almost ready to hatch. haven't done it since. now she gets to help! i can see us doing it every year :) 

we finally made a decision on where to go for our family vacation in february (we can't go in the spring bcs of ryan's work so we are taking an early one)....barcelona! we will be renting a house (cheaper than a hotel) and driving (11hrs in two days). turns out it is really cheap to fly in earope only if you have not kids. kids require a lot of luggage and extra luggage is expensive. that is where they get you!
