So Thursday night Chase had a meeting but I really wanted to decorate the house for Christmas, so I attempted to do it on my own. Everything kinda went ok, I managed to get the tree up by myself and got all the lights on. And then I decided I hated all the lights so, so much. The problem with our Christmas tree lights is we always only buy 1 or 2 ...
Yay Christmas! Thursday was Christmas Eve day in Jackson. Lunch with present openings! Got Disney gift cards, cute shirts and jacket, a calendar, etc. One of my fav things was this lightsaber (picture over the cool Marvel shirt I got) Ok so it's not really a lightsaber, it's a flashlight with an emergency window-breaking hammer on the end for your car, but it looks totally like a lightsaber and that's ...
So yeah.... with that, Christmas was kind of an unhappy blur. She did get to spend Christmas with us - she got to go everywhere and see everybody and get lots of kisses from the whole family, so that was a blessing in the midst of everything. But, to attempt to focus on more happy stuff.... I got some really nice presents. Chase & my parents spoiled me. Christmas Eve ...
Christmas day was fun but exhausting! Woke up at 6:30 because poor Indy had wet her bed. Clean-up and a quick bath ensued - she was ticked off about having to have a bath. We watched the Disney parade and then headed over to my parent's house for breakfast and gifts, before going to my aunt and uncle's for a late Christmas lunch/early dinner that was sooo yummy. Kevin and ...
Got to leave work an hour and a half early yesterday, so spent a nice night just finishing up presents. Indy was being snoopy as usual: The tree last night... And Chase made these pan smores last night and they were GOOD: Then spent today at my Mema's house for Christmas! My little American Girl doll-sized dresses thankfully fit. Here's all 3 before I wrapped them: Here's Cinderella on, yay! Got ...
More art stuff! Wow! Well a few weeks ago I was trolling around on ebay looking for Disney-themed Christmas Cards to buy. I came across an auction for a 1962 Walt Disney staff Christmas card (which is still on ebay right now if anyone has $55 to spare). I thought it was really cute and sent it to Chase saying, we should re-do this to be us on here and use it ...
I had a very nice Thanksgiving break. Chase and I cooked ourselves a mini Thanksgiving dinner for just the two of us that night (after family lunch earlier in the day). It was really good and we still have leftovers after eating on them all weekend. The rest of the weekend was cleaning, errands, and our "Friends-giving" yesterday night which was a lot of fun. Yesterday we put Christmas out: ...
(edit: this is a guess at what picture was posted here. When I moved from flickr to smugmug in 2015 a lot of my photo data was lost, so I'm only guessing this is our tree photo from 2012. looks about right...?) We did things differently this year! Chase and I opened each others' presents tonight, instead of Christmas morning. He made me a recipe box! I'd been wanting one and he ...
Christmas is all over. It never really felt like Christmas to start with, it was weird. But, I thought I'd share a few things I got. First I forgot to mention that we got a new bench/trunk for the end of our bed, and a sofa table for the living from my aunt. Both much needed! Here's my pic of some of what Chase got me from Christmas morning: ...
I made a couple of presents this year! First, for my youngest cousin, I made a little reversible dress-up cape. Purple is her favourite colour so I went with a lavender velvet for one side, and sparkley purple for the other. It was a fun little project. Next, I made an ornament out of felt for my aunt, of her dog, Daisy. I didn't get photos of it finished, unfortunately ...
