Christmas Treats...

This Christmas season has been a very different season then in the past. For starters I actually had time to enjoy the season. With more free time, I took full advantage to take part in all Christmas traditions, which I regretful have to admit I have not done in the past. Christmas seasons tend to turn in to people running around with their heads cut off, and running from one event to another yet never getting a chance to stop and actually enjoy the time.

This year I can honestly say ( not sure this is a good thing) that I watched every FALALALA Lifetime Christmas movie they aired. Yep, I put them on Tivo and watched them when I had down time. It was so nice to sit in front of the Christmas tree, drink hot chocolate and watch good ole family Christmas movies!

I also went to see a few different Christmas light displays, not to mention made it to the city twice to see the Christmas decorations and festivities.. on one weekend I saw a Santacon ( aka pup crawl) but Santa's were everywhere!

Macy's might be my favorite building here in the city when it is lite up!!! So pretty, however inside their store is another story, always a mess, but my guess is because everyone thinks it is the last day to use their famous WOW coupon that is 1 day only.. however this 1 day only coupon is only to be followed by 25 more coupons. It cracks me up the number of Macy's mailings I have received this year..

To finish up my holiday season ( here in California) I spent a whole day baking for friends and Drake's coworkers.. It was so nice to spend a whole day in my PJ's cooking and well of course taste testing my creations.

Here are some pictures from the Season and my new wish is that I take time every year to really enjoy the season and not rush around no matter how busy the future years may be! :) .. Next year I will be adding Taking Easton to go see Santa to my list of things to do. :) Can't wait..



This was maybe a 100th of the number of Santa's I saw in one day! :) It was so funny, but I would have been so confused as a kid!!



Drake's mom and I in front of the Macy's building!!



Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies with little Kisses, Drake's favorite!




I called this operation Cinnamon Roll. Growing up one of my best friends Amber's Mom, made this Cinnamon roll in the shape of a candy cane, it was always my favorite. Making it from scratch scared me, but it turned out ok.. I still have room for improvement, but I will call it a success!!




Puppy Chao.. I think I ate half of this before I gave anyone any, oops I can account a few pounds to this for sure!

 Now we are off to Texas to finish up the Holiday Season and Enjoy some family time!!

                                                     Merry Christmas !!!

A little Rainy Weekend..

Well I have discovered that here in San Francisco, they consider the heart of winter to be Rainy.. and that is exactly what kind of weather we have had for days and days. However, Drake and I took full advantage of a nice rainy weekend to relax around the house during the day and attend Christmas Parties at night! :) It has been a great weekend.

Here are is a glimpse of our wonderful weekend:


Friday Night we attend the 49er chirtmas party!! I had plans of taking all these pictures however the battery in the camera was dead when we got there.. bummer.. so this is from drake's blackberry which explains why it is not a great picture, but thought Santa deserved to make the blog today! :) He did give us our christmas present early this year.. Finding out that we are haivng a boy!



Saturday we literally did not get off the couch and we watched 18 episodes of 24 on Net flicks.. yes, you read right 18... we are taking full advantage of days of laying around before they come to an end in May when our little boy arrives.



I was a bad girl and opened my present from mother in law early, I figured we leave in a few days and it is raining outside so it was a great day to play on my new sewing machine! ;) THANK YOU MAUREEN!!!



So I made Little Easton a new hat.. I am pretty proud at my first attempt of sewing!! I bought stuff to make a little outfit but the hat wiped me out, so I am taking a break! :)



To end this cold rainy day Drake and I are back at watching 24 and drinking hot chocolate!! I love this time of year!! Once again, I know this is a horrible pictures, however I will have you know that Drake REFUSED to get his picture taken while drinking hot chocolate because he stated he was not showered and his hair was a mess... I mean come on it is just my blog, so I am putting this here just to prove to him that it doesn't matter!! ( I might have to delete after he sees that I posted the picture, but he dosn't have to know that!! I just thought it was funny he cared so much! :) )

 I hope that everyone has a great week leading up to Christmas!!
