Christmas is in the Air

It's a few days late but Sunday Scott and I had a great day full of Christmas. We set up our tree and the few other decorations we have. We decided we need a lot more and will purchase them after Christmas. Haha....I know a little late BUT on sale :) Here are some pictures of our apt...

A bit of a Charlie Brown tree :(

Along with decorating our apt we went to Epcot to see the Christmas lights. We decided that we are going to go to every park to see their decorations. We have 3 more to go...we will see if we really get to them :)

Epcot didn't have as much as we were thinking. Some Christmas lights, decorated Mickey and Minney and a few other things. Scott did get his first taste of Gluvine; which is a hot German wine. I really like it and drank a bit of it when I was in Germany but Scott is still deciding if he likes it.


We have picked out our Christmas card and are getting ready to send them. I am soooo excited for this and have been talking about this for the past few months. It was actually one of the things I was excited to get married for (and many more)...haha.

Christmas is very much in the air at the Baker house. The one odd thing we have both decided is there is no snow. Don't get me wrong we don't miss it at all but it is a different feeling not having it. We are actually having record highs right now with temps in the low/mid 80s.

Hope everyone up north is enjoying the cold/snow weather....we are always open for visitors :)

Thanksgiving and More

We have had a busy but fun few days. It was Thanksgiving weekend and Scott's cousin, Kyle's wedding.

We were up at 2 AM on Thanksgiving to catch our 6:30 AM flight. Scott's parents met us at the Detroit airport and we all drove to Columbus for a Thanksgiving feast. As usual we both ate too much and loved it!!! We spent the day at Scott's Uncle Mark's house eating, watching football, and laughing.

Friday we decided NOT to go shopping...

We did however wake up early (again) and went to help set up for the wedding reception. After that the girls went and got mani/pedi and the boys took naps. The rehearsal was Friday evening which we got to attend. Scott even had some responsibility...he got to stand in for a groomsman that was not able to make it. Here is a picture of us at the rehearsal dinner.


Saturday was the wedding. The day turned out to be wonderful. The weather turned out to be great too. We were a little nervous since it was freezing on Friday (I debated going to get a new dress for the wedding that would be warmer). I got Scott on the dance floor which is always a treat, specially since he says married guys don't dance...haha :)

A little blurry but here is us at the church on Saturday.

Sunday came sooner than we thought :( We did get a treat though because we got to meet up with my parents for lunch before we headed to the airport :)

Security in Detroit was a bit nuts and they actually made us check one of our bags. Apparently it was too big for the overhead compartment...even though we flew down with it up there. Not only did the lady say we had to check it she then followed it up by walkie-talking the desk to make sure we really did it. Got to love traveling over the holidays!

We got home around 11:45 PM and went straight to bed.

We had a great time over Thanksgiving. We got to spent time with family which is always fun! Too bad the time always goes by too fast.

It is still odd to me to say we now vacation to MI and that we come home to FL.

The Christmas decorations are going up tonight. I am really excited and have a feeling we are going to have a list of things we need to purchase...considering we really only have a tree and A LOT of ornaments :) Decorating might go a lot quicker than I want.
