Christmas Time is Here!

So, there is so much I need to catch you up on since my last blog (the one before "being known"). During that blog I had just finished my math final and was longing to be in Christmas land officially. Well folks, I have officially been in christmas land for a week now and it has been uh-mazing. 

Things to mention ...

1) I passed my math class!!! 
2) I got sick the day after my math final and have been sick since.... though I have tons more energy now those first couple days of christmas break were slow moving.
3) I have paintings and 2D design projects to share with you but I can't find my camera cord to load pics onto my computer. In due time I will show you what I was working on that final week. 
4)Christmas-land has been so much fun! This past week we have been shopping, Making Christmas cards (the traditional-hand-crafted-wes&katie Christmas cards), baking (we had a serious bake-off which included: mocha slice cookies, shortbread cookies, grandma Whipple's cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and peppermint bark), watched christmas with the kranks, and wrapped some things. 
5) and I almost forgot! We went to our play on thursday! Wes and I have made the tradition that instead of buying eachother christmas gifts we treat ourselves to a super nice date night: dinner, dessert & a play. Last year we went to the Nutcracker. This year we saw A Christmas Carol and had dinner at a place called Tabla. Amazing, amazing, amazing. We had SO much fun. Dinner was perfect and the play was excellent, great singing, great message. 

basically, we have been loving christmas break. AND its only about to get better! We drive home tomorrow and will be arriving into town late. Can't wait to celebrate with you all. Love you,

Katie
