Merry Christmas!

Well this marks our first blog post and we are really excited to get started, while maybe I am more than Alex:) Lately we have been busy getting ready for Christmas...last minute gift shopping, baking, getting the house decked out, and visiting with friends and family. Today we spent the day relaxing as the show came down. Currently, I believe we are in a winter storm warning for blustering winds and blowing snow. It was quite cruddy out this morning...so we stayed in and watched football and other random shows... I ventured out of my realm to bake a special Christmas dessert for tomorrow night. We are having Alex's parents over for Christmas eve dinner and I am excited to show off my first ever buche de noel. Our dinner menu consists of family favorites: -Honey baked ham -Sour beans (a German tradition) -Parmesan potatoes -Garlic Parmesan pull aparts -and of course, buche de noel for dessert:) We will be getting back from our church service a little later so dinner will be simpler, but amazing! We are also trying to get ready for our trip. We are going to Florida for a 12 day vacation. We are really looking forward to a vacation to relax. We will be in Tampa for 6 days and then in Orlando for the final part of out trip. I am really excited because we made reservations today for a great restaurant the California Grille in the Contemporary Resort. Well have a great night!
