Christmas 2011


Here are a few pictures from Christmas this year...
Weird angle, but I've wanted this shirt for so long! And some pretty bokeh too!

Christmas Eve cocoa.
My new little piggie.
Isn't this cool? If you can't tell, that is supposed to be me. I got a magazine in my stocking that had tons of really easy little DIYs. I totally messed up on this (As you can see, my nose is pretty much not there.) But I'm going to give it another try.

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating JESUS!

A little late to begin shopping and wrapping presents? Never! To be honest, I have not done ANY shopping this year. I get sort of scared when I go Christmas shopping. My family's lists are not so easy to cross off because....ahem...they have no lists. Dad says he likes " gadgets" Mom never says, and KJ says he doesn't want to ask for any of the stuff he wants because its all so expensive!

So what does that leave me with? Not a whole lot.

But! I (or mom) have something for KJ already! I decided to make the wrapping simple but sweet. Not of course, that he would care (or even notice!) But I wanted it to be a little homemade wrapping that made at least me happy.

So here is what I came up with....

Now, I don't know about you, but I think this is pretty stinkin' cute. Yarn is so versatile! I was shaving the pom pom all through grammar. Creighton says if I keep it up, the thing will be bald by Christmas! And he's probably right too.

And look, Christian left KJ a special message on the bottom! I'm guessing he won't even notice, so good thing I photographed it.
And there it is under our still undecorated tree. I actually like it undecorated. Maybe a few would be nice, but it makes the tree so much more of a focal point without all that junk on it.

How are you wrapping your presents this year? Are you trying anything new? Let me know, I would love to see!

Xoxo, have a wonderful and fabulous Thursday!
