6 dyas till christmas, it's official

don't believe me?  check your calendars!  

I know, It's almost here!!  I'll be able to relax as soon as I have the last of my ceramics orders in the right hands... nothing like firing right up till the last minute :)  Jared is officially on break too!!  They had a winter party on friday and he got lots of fun goodies from his kiddos.  it's kinda obvious he's loved... and somehow they knew he liked pepsi?!  lol

Had our last show of the season last weekend down in broomfield, which i did without Jared (his A team boys had their tournament! and won 4th place :) but I wasn't short help.. My mom and Shanda came to help me haul our setup!!  So sweet of them to sacrifice their saturday morning..

It was a great show, and for a really good cause!!  The birds of prey received %5 of all sales, and they do amazing work rehabilitating wild birds so they can return to their homes.. they had an "educational team" there on both days of birds that have bad enough problems that they cannot go back into the wild.  very cool to see, and be a part of!!  

Thank you to everyone who came out to see and support us & the cause!!  we love you <3

AND best part was getting to spend time with these cuties..

we went and saw christmas lights, had dinner at their church christmas party, and saw santa!!  It was fun getting to hang with the hammond fam, they know how to have a good time :)

and this weekend was full of bronco fun!  Jared found awesome slippers that are just too much fun, they make me feel like a real fan.  All i need now is a Tebow jersey!  haha

 we went down to longmont to watch the game @ scott and amanda's house - it was fun the first quarter, until things started looking pretty bleak for our usual 4th quarter come back.  bummer... 

Still a good fun time with all our friends :)  

looking forward to having my man home this week, even though i'll be at kenny's every night.  including christmas eve!  jeesh, i'll be happy when Christmas gets here!!  can't wait to see the fams and enjoy some holiday cheer, yea!

hugs and love

XOXO

happy anniversary Halpert!

Jared and I figured out this weekend marks the 1 year anniversary from when we got Halpert!!  Crazy to think this little guy has been with us a whole year, and grown so so so much.  I love looking back at his baby pics and seeing what a sweet pup he was... 

and still is!!  

we love you booter!

I wanted to try some Howliday pup portraits, didn't work so well.  At least not getting both of them in the same shot haha. I felt bad putting these guys through the torture of "dressing up"... but they were so adorable, even if it wasn't the most fun in the world.  

 sooo cute!!

And we've been getting a little festive around the house.  it is december after all!!  The snow we've had this week just put me in the mood to decorate.  I added this gorgeous wreath to our decoration collection this year, It looks so pretty on our door :) 

It's beginning to feel a lot like christmas, and It's making me so happy!!  

Also, Elf is one of the funniest movies.  so glad we watched that tonight :)

sending love,

xoxo
