DOVE FAMILY

So this year, I decided to do something different! You know those sticky gift tags that you purchase at the store for a few dollars- easy as pie to write on and stick on your gifts?! Well, I decided not to use those this year and go "crafty". There are so many websites such as Martha Stewart that allows you to print gift tags from her website! The gift tags are larger than the ones you buy at the store so you have more room to write on them, they are such cute designs and certainly some that are unusual! Take a peek and I know you can't wait to see which gift tag you are going to get on your present! Ha! (the websites where you can download them from are below!!)

This past weekend we went to see the Lights on the Bay. It was a nice surprise when Santa greeted us at the gate and gave us candy canes. He then talk to the kids breifly about how he is checking his list and that he is excited to come to our house on Christmas! The Lights on the Bay is presented by Anne Arundel Medical center- the hospital where both kids were born. It's always nice being able to give money or give back to hospitals and charitable organizations. After we enjoyed a ride around the bay we went over the Bay Bridge and had dinner at Cracker Barrell. Although it was busy we had a wonderful family dinner and evening!

I did take a few pictures but we were so excited about the lights that I forgot to take pictures until the very end of the show :(

This picture is priceless- the road sign is included in the picture!

It's Christmas time! The last week, we have spent decorating the house- both inside and outside and we have already started to enjoy the many holiday shows on television. The kids are so excited and our countdown at home has begun! We have so many holiday plans, places to go to and things to see and we just love this time of year! Shopping is almost done as well--makes the holidays even better when I don't have to spend every day shopping!

Pajama Party in front of the tree!!
