so i pretty much missed holiday blogging this year, but i feel like you'll forgive me once you see the brief overview below, outlining just about all of the fall and winter 2010 holidays...
|
me, clearing the guts out of our first halloween pumpkin (yes, it's true, we haven't previously carved a pumpkin together...shameful) |
|
mark, doing some tracing on our REDSKINS pumpkin! |
|
he's pretty amazing, that husband of mine |
|
finito! SO good! |
|
thanksgiving brought us to philly and my first cheese steak at pat's |
|
i got a whiz with onions and green peppers. eh, it was fine, but i don't think i was prepared for all the meat on the sub, it was a bit overwhelming |
|
we were lucky enough to be able to spend wednesday before thanksgiving with meghan and alex. we went to the mutter museum, saw some gross stuff, got coffee and a fabulous dinner in town- PG representin' in philly! |
|
us on thanksgiving |
|
and we'll just skip right to christmas! this is mark and i with our lovely nephew, andrew, and his cutie-pie sister, taylor, on christmas eve |
|
she's adorable, i just can't get enough |
|
andrew takes after his dad, he prefers to be shirtless. |
|
the schmidt clan the day after christmas. taylor was christened on the 26th and mark and i were able to host the after-party since we're so close to the naval academy chapel- score! |
|
these were actually baked in early december for a thing at work, but i thought i would throw them in here. my first attempt at sugar cookies from scratch. they were alright, a little crunchy, not so chewy. i always prefer a chewy cookie, so maybe next year i will perfect the recipe. or just buy them :) |
|
mark and i also decided to host a little new years eve soiree. family-friendly, of course :) |
|
|
the morgan's gettin' their party on |
|
like i said, prefers to be shirtless. |
|
there may or may not have been a small fire on our porch involving sparklers. i'm just sayin... |
|
the lovely louisa |
|
andrew is such a friendly guy |
|
the lovely ladies! louisa, rachel, susan, jenn, jackie, and rachel |
|
we were a little too boring for rock, but he tolerated us as best he could :) |
