So it's been a while since I have posted anything on the blog, mostly because of law school finals (which I should be studying for right now). But I figured we should add some pictures of the exciting non-law-school-final events of the recent weeks. First off, our table finally came, so now we have a place to eat! We were so excited that we took a picture with the box. As you'll notice, we're winners, because the box told us so.
Some folks in Sarah's family's ward started a tradition of having a pie party on Thanksgiving morning, where everyone brings a pie. Anyone who knows me knows that my priorities in life are as follows: (1) Sarah, (2) Pie, (3) Everything Else, so this was a pretty exciting event for me.
For Thanksgiving dinner at the Brutons, I was responsible for the Peterson family stuffing, and Sarah was responsible for the rolls. The rolls rocked, and Sarah did a great job, and I was so excited about my stuffing that I took a picture of it. Even my picky brother-in-law ate some, and he only likes rice!
Sarah got involved in a Gingerbread House competition at work, so we tried to think outside the box and stretch the bounds of the traditional gingerbread house to new heights. We came up with a gingerbread Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, which was pretty dang awesome. Sarah made the gingerbread from scratch (I helped by eating some), and then we cut out the pieces of gingerbread according to a complex posterboard model we built beforehand (I say complex because I even had to use a protractor). Also, we made that awesome snowman out of fondant frosting, and everything came out great.
Here's the more or less completed project, complete with reflecting pool! So those have been the highlights of the last few weeks. The rest of the time I have spent secluded in the bedroom pouring over unilateral agreements and forum non conveniens while Sarah watched Law & Order reruns all by her lonesome. Only two finals to go, and then I'm free!
Here we are gearing up for our Christmas card photo. You'll have to take our word that it's really cold, even though it looks like a balmy 80 degrees in this picture. We also went to the recently re-opened Muesuem of American History, which was pretty cool.
Here's Sarah. I made her pose in her Christmas dress in front of our tree that's barely taller than us. Also, we have some awesome stockings that Sarah's mom made for us.
These are the gingerbread men that Sarah made. I got to decorate quite a few of them, so I tried to get creative. See if you can find Batman, a football player, a stick figure, and a dude in his underpants.
We also went to see the temple lights on Sunday. Here's a picture of Sarah and her mom. Christmas is great, and we are so excited to go to Arizona this year. Yay!
