Belated Christmas Morning!

Santa knew that Tammy was scheduled to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas so he surprised us last night. This morning we woke up to find that our bathroom had been made over. New towels, shower curtain, floor mat, and cute seashore decorations covered our small bathroom. I didn't know our bathroom could look so good! Santa sure has good style!

The Biggest Loser!!

Tomorrow, Nic and Tammy will begin an intense competition to get healthy. Our goals are to exercise at least four times a week, exchange water in place of juice and soda, and practice portion control. Here are our "before" pictures. Wish us luck!
This one reminds me of a football program pose

I just finished washing dishes and have a nice water stain on my shirt

Snow!

Nic and I thought we'd go sledding yesterday, but it ended up that we went sledding in our car on the way there, too.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We bought a Christmas tree! Since we aren't allowed to have a live tree in our apartment, we picked out a nice fake one. We learned that it isn't worth it to buy the cheapest tree. Tammy brought home a $39 tree and as soon as we opened it we knew why it was one of the least expensive trees at Target. Tammy was able to easily return it and pick out a tree that actually resembles a live tree. It was Nic's first Christmas in several years decorating a tree. We had a lot of fun.

Tammy cut her hair yesterday. Here are some pics.
