We Wish You a...

 Merry Christmas

From our home

 To yours

With much love,

The Bays

(ps - we got those matching scarves last year. I hate the matching couple idea, and Carson's whole family thinks it's hilarious. So because of that, we took a picture in the scarves. So dorky.)

Leavenworth

We went to Leavenworth this weekend, just the two of us.
(click on that link... it's beautiful!)
We laughed that we haven't been on a vacation that was all to ourselves since we've been married.
Even our honeymoon was all planned out for us
(which was amazing and fun... but it does make us laugh)
So it was exciting to get away and celebrate finals being done, Christmas, and time alone. 
Carson ended up being quite sick the whole weekend, but we did still enjoy ourselves.

Here are LOTS of pictures:
The decorated door

The place we stayed, from the front door

And again, from the kitchen

Us, excited to be in such a fun place!

Our view - not so shabby

The street at night.

CUTE bakery/coffee shop. We went there the next morning for coffee and tea.

Carson hoped for snow - and got it the day before his birthday. Fluffy, pretty flakes!


We decorated a gingerbread house in the spirit of "Hey, we have an entire weekend to do NOTHING"

And Carson did a LOT of this:


But he was also a trooper and we'd get out of our comfy stuff and into our outdoor stuff, walk around, and then go back to sleep for a bit.


Waiting for the tree lighting to begin



Little kids were sledding down this hill night and day. It was so cute!

EVERYTHING here is Bavarian. Even McDonalds and banks. 

Dinner... we went to an Italian place but Carson wanted Schnitzel. He got it - pretty tasty!


Our house. I did the frosting, Carson did the candy decorating on the roof and the walkway, and then decided to sleep. So I went to town...

And suggested a picture of us with the house when one of us was still dressed and one of us wasn't. 

Carson's birthday. He was SO excited to unwrap presents that he made me get them as soon as he woke up.



Very fun weekend! Glad it snowed, wish Carson hadn't felt so crummy... but it was still fun and the sickness made hanging out and doing nothing imperative, so that was nice too.

Down South

So we went to Beaufort last week.
Our "Christmas" visit. 

They were having terrible weather (totally unedited)

 I mean, really. We had to adopt a "grin and bear it" attitude because it was just so awful the entire time.

We went Christmas tree shopping at Lowe's (where else?)

My sister and I

Carson can't stand the sunshine. He likes it but his eyes don't. So here he is shielding his eyes. 
And Becca's saluting. 

You can tell that this is a genuine smile

The Normans and the Bays

Fathers...

Brothers...

Christmas balls...

 We went to Night on the Town in Downtown Beaufort. Saw TONS of people we knew. 
So fun. 
And it was on Bay Street so we had to get a picture.

The tree

On the way to Waycross... we watched this.

Sunday night we had a bonfire. The Mansells came and brought two several-hours-old goats! 
Have you ever hosted goats at your bonfire?

On Monday we went to Grandmama and Granddaddy's house. Becca's babysittee came as well.

We went to the beach. 
Aren't my grandparents so good looking?

To the lighthouse

And of course we had to be a little corny


Grandmama and I in our hats

Caught mid-air

Brodie and Granmama

New treats to try

Our gifts to give 
(theirs to us are going to be mailed)

Love this progression... admiration

...breakable ornament

Family picture attempts.

The picture we "usually" get. Minus Daisy (the other dog) and plus Carson.

Dad's new straw glasses

Scott's five-fingers

Cutting the top of our wedding cake early (because we won't be there in May)

We broke our pre-wedding agreement to abstain from the creaming with frosting. 

River Street in Savannah, Georgia

Sitting on Santa's lap

 A neat looking alley that Carson suggested we take a picture in :)

And just for fun... something we passed on our drive home, once in Washington again.
