A City Christmas.

Although it wasn't our traditional Christmas and we were sad to be away from family, we made the best of it by taking a trip into the city. We walked through The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park, ate chocolate-covered strawberries, drank hot tea, walked up to Central Park, and then took a pedicab ride about 24 blocks back to our car. Although it was a quick trip, we had a great time getting out of the apartment and enjoying the Christmas spirit in one of the greatest cities in the world.

P.S. Happy 18 months of wedded bliss to my sweet husband. :)

A Christmas surprise.

So, it's been snowing like crazy in upstate New York and all the way up New England, but all that North New Jersey was forecasted to receive was some rainy, slushy stuff. So this evening, we went outside to let the dogs out and much to our surprise...

It was snowing!!!

Of course this prompted a photo op. :)

Thanks to my sweet momma for the Christmas PJs and thanks to God for our second white Christmas ever! Second, you ask? Why, yes. Do any of my South Texas friends and family remember Christmas Eve 2004? That was NUTS!

{And Tim Lawley--if you see this, I borrowed your pic. Hope you don't mind. :)}

Hope you all had a blessed Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas from The Hintons!

Thanks to all of of friends and family for all of your love and support this year. 2012 has definitely been one for the books! A big move, new jobs, and more blessings than we deserve. God has been so good.
I pray that you all have a blessed Christmas with your families and a very happy new year!

A little light.

We finally got a few Christmas decorations put out around the apartment over the weekend. I feel like I'm so behind on a pic like this, ha! I had forgotten how much fun Christmas lights hung indoors can be. I just love turning off the normal lights, leaving on the Christmas ones, and snuggling under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate. Don't you? Hope you all had a great Monday. I must go to bed now because I'm headed to Edison, NJ tomorrow to give a marketing presentation. Nighty night. :)
