Christmas and New Years 2009

Yes, this is late, but I was having too much fun to blog during Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas season, filled with events and *ahem*, a little too much good food! We spent Christmas Eve with my dad and brothers, and then went to Mike and Shirley's on Christmas day. We even got to see Curtis and Emily on Christmas day, which involved a little champy and cheer! I got some fun foodie gifts, like a Corningware set, a Le Creuset mini casserole (so cute!), and a bird apron (pictures coming soon). The biggest surprise of all was a scavenger hunt from Paul, which ended in a secretly planned trip to Maui! Now I have a reason to work off all the extra "cheer" I accumulated! This year I decided to decorate our tree with a theme, so I made bird ornaments and stuck to a blue, silver and pink color scheme. I found a creamy satin ribbon and intertwined it with a sparkly silver one as a finishing touch. I really liked the way it turned out, and am really sad to take our tree down (yes, it is still up!). I am excited for a new year and all that is in store for us! Happy New Year!

  1. I'm doing a "Maui Meltdown" with a friend here at work. She's going in March and we leave on Valentine's Day. I already want to eat my arm.
