Toe, Toe, Toe MERRY CHRISTMAS! (Compliments of Alissa Glickstein.) :)

I'm a bit late but we're celebrating the 12 days of Christmas this year and they don't START until Christmas day. We are having our last family Christmas Friday/Saturday. It's been a whirlwind of Christmas festivities across the midwest and we're having a busy/relaxing blast.

...and a happy new year!

...and a happy type travel tuesday two days too late.

christmas on 5th street

Baylor Christmas festival a couple weeks ago, helped it feel a bit more like Christmas around here. I find myself longing for a winter-wonderland situation (which I'm sure I will get over after a couple hours in negative temperatures).

sprinkles of christmas spirit

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here (well IN here, not outside so much).    _MG_8874 _MG_8903 _MG_8884 _MG_8892 _MG_8898 _MG_8910 _MG_8954

home for the holidays

I was so thankful to be at home for Thanksgiving dinner, to decorate for Christmas, and to have a little slice of winter to help me get into the Christmas-spirit. _MG_7733b _MG_7592 _MG_7754 _MG_7573 _MG_7577 _MG_8327 _MG_7582 _MG_7487b _MG_7954 _MG_8708 _MG_8476 _MG_8596b _MG_8582 _MG_7439b IMG_7363

feeling old



Birthday week made me feel older this year. In one week I turned 28 and Brandon got his first grey hair (in his beard which I hope will someday look like this:)




Brandon also threw out his back, and I was incredibly sore for 2 days from trying to close our super crappy, takes-your-whole-body-strength-to-close, apartment windows.

baylor

Baylor's campus is beautiful. It has played a large role in my (gradual) acceptance of living in Texas. I wanted to show you some of the magic.

...and the TREES in this part of Texas are magical. They have also helped me grow a small affection for the place. These amazing trees are called Live Oaks, and they also play a big (visual) role in the movie "Tree of Life" which is set in Waco (and filmed here and the surrounding area, primarily).

They are the perfect climbing-trees.
