Merry Christmas from The Hammers

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Remembering the reason for the season today and the birth of our Savior and all that He’s done for us. God, you are so good!

(Oh and you better believe I’ll be posting the outtakes of these photos…hilarious.)

Love,

Jimmy and Jen

Happy Day Before Christmas Eve Eve! Hope everyone is having a lovely time with your families. Jimmy and I are currently in California (we surprised his family, other than his mom who flew down us to surprise everyone else) and are having the time of our lives. For that, I’m making this post short and sweet and posting an outfit that I took a few days before we left. These were taken in our front yard just outside the door. Obviously we are very on top of shoveling our driveways and walkways…hah.

Merry Christmas!

Tis’ The Season.

Our day after Thanksgiving plans included getting our first tree and ornaments. Although we’ve been married for 2 and a half years, this is our first Christmas on our own, in our own home. So we wanted this to be special! Throughout the months here, I had been slowly accumulating Christmas decor from thrift stores and that combined with bringing out the crafty side within me gave us some affordable holiday decor! And some black Friday deals helped. After setting up the tree and decorating (while listening to Christmas music, of course), Jimmy, Layla and I cuddled on the couch and watched Christmas Vacation accompanied by hot cocoa and popcorn. Although I WILL say that Layla ate one too many fake pine needles and threw up in six different spots in the house. Poor thing. But gosh, I love Christmas time.


Our second tiny tree on the entry table with paper flowers.

And of course, how could I end this post without some Christmas baking?

Hope you all are having a lovely Holiday so far!
