Tis the Season

The Tacky Light tour has become a Christmastime MUST here in Richmond. There are so many people who go ALL out! It's Outrageous! Just too good not to jump in the car, grab some hot cocoa and listen to Christmas music while looking at some over the top Christmas spirit!

Minute to Win it Party

It seems like we haven't done a party with just our 3rd year dental friends in forever! So Emily and I decided to throw a Christmas party! We played Minute to Win it games which are always hilarious! And we ate yummy treats including chocolate and salted caramel fondue! mm mm. It was a really fun night!

 We started the party off with some favorites like Jingle in the trunk and Face the Cookie- classics. (sorry no pics)  Here are the other games we played: 

Deer Nose Dive 

Merry Fishmas 

The champion! Aaron was amazing at this game! 

Christmas Bite 

(we should have gotten someone shorter than me to do this...i was awful! I kept falling!) 

Josh and Jenna rocked it! 

 Deck the Balls 

Nate and Cory

 Holiday Hustle

Shake it Em! 

Lauren and I- working it! 

Gillian and Jenna 

Marshmallow Toss 

The boys rocked this! Through the wreath and into the bowl. amazing! 

Holiday Kiss 

It took us sooo long to figure this one out! ha! 

Jenna and Cory- pro's at all games! 

Josh and Heidi. 

The last game was a giant paper snowball fight! Probably my favorite part! It got CRAZY! We were soo tired after! 

The Champions!!!

Two of a Kind

This might be my favorite post ever. 

I just love these two. And seeing them together and how similar they look and act just makes me melt. 

Erik has grown his hair out a bit and we noticed the other night that it was flipping out near his ears, just like Lucy's does. He got so excited and wanted me to take a picture. I guess we know where she gets her curl...oh and everything else for that matter. My little twinners! I think they are soooo cute! 

I love watching them do special daddy-daughter things together. Like going on bike rides. 

I am one lucky Girl! 

A Visit to the Dentist

This was my first visit to Erik at school. It was really fun to be there and see him doing his thing. He is an awesome Dentist! I will say though- that I wasn't nearly as "tough" with him as I am with other dentists. I wasn't ashamed to let out a few more "Ow" 's than I would with a stranger who I want to appear tough with. So that probably annoyed Erik...I was a little bit of a complainer. It was good feedback right? I am just trying to help! ;)  But really Erik did a great job! He even got to fill 2 little cavities on me.  What a weird experience being a patient to your husband. It was fun. 

Our Christmas

This year we again celebrated our family's little Christmas early. I think we just like opening our presents early! ;) No, it is nice to not have to pack presents and deal with shipping etc. since we will be in Utah for Christmas this year. So we had our own little early Christmas! It was wonderful! 

Lucy waiting on the stairs! 

Look what Santa brought Lu! Her own chalkboard! I think that's made straight from Santa's Workshop! ;) 

With our Stockings! I love our names on them, i just did that this year! I didn't get a good pic of Lu with hers. 

She does love wearing bows...

Wahoo! Erik surprised me with this gift! Pretty much everything else I picked our myself. What a great surprise! 

Lucy and her Elmo book! She is in love with Elmo! 

Grilling supplies! 

BABY!!! 

She was sooo happy! 

I should have saved baby for last because after that she had no interest in anything else! 

Instant love! The baby has a binky and a bottle and makes some cry and coo noises. 

She basically carries her new purse and her baby EVERYWHERE she goes! 

Karaoke machine! She loves the microphone! 

Lucy's Loot! 

It was great Christmas! We had a great morning together!
