I have no idea where the holidays have gone! They passed in a busy-happy blur where I mostly remembered to take photos but totally forgot to up-load them!
So here are the pictures of final decorating and baking Matt and I did on the Eve of Christmas Eve :)

slowly all melted away until it was just a jar or red liquid. We still gave both jars away as planned and have heard back that it's delish! But wasn't what I had expected.

Our couch got a bit festive with some throw pillows I found last year.

I should take another photo of the mantle since we've received even more cards and have them all stacked up - its really wonderful to see! The red sparkly 'BELIEVE' sign sits in front and I will have to find a third stocking hanger for next year, as Santa brought Reese his very own stocking!
You two are hilarious. Love your Christmas projects.
