P90X update
Over the holidays we kind of slacked in the working out department... so now we are back in the swing of things and I had to share this.
The animals like to be where we are. We were doing the X Stretch during this series of pictures... Notice Chris's foot in the corner.
Aww at least they are cuddling!
That only lasted for a minute before higgins felt "smothered" and moved over.
Notice how Higgins keeps inching away...
Ah ha! Got his tail!
Makes it a little hard to work out when the animals are under our feet. But it did make a good excuse to take some pictures!
Peppermint Bark
So last christmas I bought some peppermint bark and Chris ended up loving it! I was reminded of this when I saw one of my friends on facebook whole posted pictures of themselves making christmas cookies including peppermint bark.
Chris and I decided to research it a bit and try it out ourselves!
candy canes...
Had to throw this one in... Georgia thinks she is a cat. Standing on the edge of the couch watching us in the kitchen.
She is such a silly dog.
Chopping the chocolate...
Chris licking the bowl after melting the first batch of chocolate
Chocolate cooling in the fridge
white chocolate time!
Melting...
Everything put together cooling...
The end product! Really easy to make and yummy too! highly recommend it!
Georgia got fixed
This year I had to miss the annual "Soup Kitchen" on 4th Ave and University in Tucson because Georgia had her appointment to get spayed. We (I) took her in thursday morning and was to pick her up the next morning. I guess they do this so it isn't so traumatic for the owners and so that the animal can be monitored after the surgery and coming out of anesthesia. Well she loves our vet so dropping her off was no problem. She weights 28 pounds! The girl up front said "she finally grew!!!" So after I dropped her off I took full advantage of having an "empty house" and wasted the day christmas shopping. Got most of it done which was great!
I knew I was attached to her (Georgia) but I didn't realize how much I would miss her while she was gone. So I went the next morning to pick her up and it was as if she never had surgery. She was full of life. A little tired but thats to be expected. Got her home and had to take some pictures...
She looks so depressed in these next 2 pictures...
This is how she normally sits while we are eating diner so she can see what is on the table. Also its a prime begging position.
Her trying to take a nap on the couch.
While she was sleeping I managed to get a picture of her belly with the stitches. I think they look kinda weird... Like it wasn't closed correctly... I guess we will see on friday when we go back to get them removed.
Once she woke up... notice the eye boogers. I think she looks very mature in this one.
Higgins
I feel like since we have gotten Georgia that I have neglected to talk about Higgins. He and I had some quality time while Georgia was at the vet getting fixed. I took this opportunity to have a little photo shoot while Higgins napped.

Thankful for Thanksgiving
This year Chris was able to come home for Thanksgiving!
One I only took a few pictures while we were there but I had to prove that Chris was the elected Turkey craver. (No one LIKES to carve the turkey). Chris took it all in stride and was such a good helper to my Grandma Mary.
He cleaned up to carve the turkey, walked into the kitchen pretending his hands were sterile. my dad laughed :)
He even got to wear an apron!
I am proud
The Sprules (Katie and Cupcake) decided to make an appetizer to eat before Thanksgiving. i would have to say I hope this becomes a new tradition!
Spinach Artichoke dip!
We all swarmed around it. Ryden was so cute handing out plates and eating the bread.
Katie and Chris also decided to decorate the table with some of the vases from their wedding. They bought fresh flowers and made a beautiful arrangement. Too bad they all had to be moved to make room for all the food!
of the best parts of the holidays are getting to see all the little ones. Ryden didnt have ANY stranger danger this trip out which was amazing so it was really fun playing with him!
These weren't from thanksgiving but i had to include them because Ryden was so cute when i went over for a visit the night before thanksgiving. He even makes a "silly face" for the camera!
Uncle Bill and Ryden playing. soooo cute!
ALSO...
Melissa was in town for a whole week this thanksgiving so I got to spend time with her and her mom Kay. Kay's idea to go to Sushi Garden which was amazing! Even better was that it was half price happy hour! Wahoo!
