Chris has been incredibly busy the last couple of months with school and the fixer upper house. The fixer is finally on the market. He's had a good amount of traffic through and heard some positive feed back from other Realtors. The property looks fantastic, so I'm confident that it won't be on the market for long. Once that sells we are moving full speed ahead on the adoption! I have been doing my best to be patient and enjoy every moment of our life before it changes and we have a baby, but I'm ready to be a Mom and Chris is ready to be a Dad. Next year we will hopefully have a little baby Anderson to share our life with. It fills my heart with joy to just to think about the little love bug we are going to be blessed with.
I went big this year people...BIG. Lots of baking throughout the month; cookies and brownies for almost all the parties I attended. Christmas Eve was all about feasting on fish...5 not 7.
squid salad with a crab cake
mussels with onion and white wine butter broth
scallops with corn coulis and spinach with cherry tomatoes
Christmas day I made savory bread pudding with leeks and sausage for breakfast and pasta with bolognese.

All the food was fantastic. Austin Christmas was a success. Chris and I are off to Port Aransas with the pups on Wednesday. We are going to spend New Years Eve at the beach. It will be nice to get away for a few days.
Here are a few more pictures from December.
