Well 2013, here we are.
The end of 2012 was pretty good, with lots of time spent visiting family and friends. Christmas with Shaun's family went well. I made the gingerbread house and train for decorations with some help from Shaun and his Mom and they turned out great! I think I am going to try and build one for Festival of Trees this year, assuming I remember in time to sign up.
I got some nice gifts, mostly baking related from Shaun's parents. His brother got me an awesome Iowa t-shirt that I love, and Shaun got me a Kate Spade bag and wallet that I ♥. I got Shaun a replica blaster and belt to complete his Han Solo outfit for wearing to cons and such in the future. Which reminds me, I need to see about getting a Princess Leia wig as well...
The weekend after Christmas, we went to the Chicago suburbs to visit with some of Shaun's college friends, which was a lot of fun. It's been a while since we've seen Brad and Jenna and the others. There was a lot of fun gaming, including Telestrations (aka telephone-pictionary) which is my new favorite party game.
There was even more Telestrations action on New Years' Eve, when we had Jess and Nathan, Lindsey, Bryce and Jack over for a casual evening of gaming. We ended up having so much fun playing games that we missed the ball dropping at midnight, oops! So to remedy that, Shaun grabbed our mini disco ball and stood on a chair and we had our own countdown, which was just as good if not better than watching the TV one.
