christmastime

Wow, it's been sooo long since I updated this.... sorry guys, it's been such a crazy busy time for me. Oh my gosh, I have SO much stuff to update, but I'll try not to make this post too long. =)



First, the best & most exciting news.... I finally got a puppy! His name is Baxter, he is a Pekingese and King Charles Spaniel mix. He is seriously the cutest thing ever, pictures don't do him justice.


He is such a good dog, I just hate this potty training phase... ugh.




So here are a few pictures from the holidays.

This was our first christmas married, and it was soooo fun picking out & decorating our first christmas tree together!








Preston put the star on the tree, then I did most of the decorating.... Preston watched tv. Typical male huh haha










The finished product! We decorated & wrapped our gifts in red & white, it was a candy cane theme. =)


Another night we went over to my family's house, to help with their christmas tree decorating. They shouldn't have put me in charge of brownies... mwaha














I'm so happy that my whole family got to be together for christmas this year! My sister Sarah and her husband Kent came down from Indiana to be with us... I loved seeing them! Here is the Newsom family, and then us kids with our pets.







I went to Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure with Hunter one day, I loved all the christmas decor.... we had a blast just goofin off!










Our family went to Church Street Christmas in Dade City, it was super fun! We basically just walked around a christmasy town listening to music & looking at lights, then afterwards we went out for ice cream!













Christmas Eve our family attended a candlelight service, they didn't let us light our candles long enough, but it was beautiful when we did! lol






We walked around Christmas Lane one evening, a lighted christmas village with Santa & hot chocolate & TONS of lights! Ahhh I love this time of year....








Christmas Day!









Going out with Hunter on Christmas evening... I needed a long car ride with some good jams
