It's Beginnng to Look a lot like Christmas!!!

The Richard Family tree is up and there are even some gifts starting to appear underneath it.  We are loving this time of year and soaking up "everything Christmas".  A few season favorites at our home this year:
-Peppermint Mocha's (ok that one is Julie's)
-Christmas cocktails (Hot cocoa and rum, White Russians)
-Amy Grant Christmas Collection CD (yes people still buy CD's....well I do at least)
-Our first Christmas as a family of 3
-Our sweet little angel
-The excitement and anticipation of "going home" to Chicago this weekend!!! 

Pretty excited about his first stocking!

Here is Coop opening his first Christmas presents (a little early I know) from Aunt Kristel

Like my Reindeer Antlers?!

 True to his bib, Coop is pretty much always jolly!

We hope you are all getting in the Christmas spirit, because as we like to say around here, "Tis the Season"!  So if you are having a bad day or feeling a little low, shake of the Grinchness, have a hot cup of Cocoa, thank the good God above for sweet baby Jesus, and give your loved ones a kiss., because, yep, you guessed it, Tis the Season!

And to our amazing families, we will see you in 3 days!  We are counting them down, Coop can't wait to see everyone and we are long overdue for a visit to our hometown.  Until then, love you all!
