Brownie Covered Oreos.

I love me some Oreos and I love Brownies. I saw a recipe for them on a blog and decided to try them out. They were super easy and tasted delicious! I bought the Holiday Oreos with the Red filling like she did. I used the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie mix cause it's my favorite. I didn't put frosting on them but that would probably make them look prettier. Powdered sugar sprinkled on top would be a good idea too! I think these would be perfect for a Holiday party treat. Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh Christmas Tree...

So John surprised me and came home early a couple night ago and we went out and picked a tree! I was so excited! The first couple of places we went to were too expensive, but finally found the perfect little tree! It's small, but it's ours. I think it's just right for our small apartment! We washed it and put it outside over night to dry. Last night John put the lights on it and I put the ornaments on it. It's a very eclectic tree. It's very random, but fun! It makes it smell good and feel a little more like Christmas time around here; even if it was like 75 degrees and sunny yesterday! Here are some shots of the decorated tree. Carlyle has already started to be naughty and chew on the lights and try to knock the ornaments off!

I love this one of Carlyle getting caught being naughty under the tree!

I just barely added these birds that I printed off our computer and cut out.

This is from a few months ago, but we looked festive in this shot...

Christmas Decor.

Unfortunately John doesn't have time right now to go pick out a tree and trim it with me, so I'll post pics of that later when he's done with finals! Poor guy, he's been at school all day until almost Midnight EVERY night! It sucks! He's such a hard worker! Anyway, here are some random shots of some Christmas decor in our casa. We got some really cute ornaments when we lived in London and haven't gotten to use them yet, so I'm excited to decorate our tree with them! I love Christmas time! It makes me feel Merry & Bright! Are you all decorated for Christmas yet?

I got this Vintage Father Christmas from a Consignment shop in Utah over Thanksgiving break. I love him. Isn't he cool?

My sister Haley made this adorable rustic frame! So fun!

Holiday plates from Target.

Here is that Holiday Subway Art (post below) I printed out and put in a frame. It would look better in White, but that's okay.

I love Christmas lights, so I put some up under our kitchen counter.

Sparkle, Sparkle!

John's parent's gave this to us when I got Carlyle for Christmas 2 years ago!

Collection of ornaments we got from around the World last year.

I just love this pic of Carlyle peeking over the edge to check out the ornaments!
