Yay, Christmas!
What a wonderful time of the year!
I have such a loving family, friends and boyfriend, -and even boyfriend's family.
We've been lounge singing and dancing in Indiana, going to to my old church with my cousin and mom, exchanging gifts at my dad's, and playing cards at Dave's mom. Every home was a different experience, and all had something nice to share, even my own!
Dave and I have an awesome little green tree- skirted in Leopard of course! It is embellished with silver and black ornaments. It isn't traditional, but I seldom am when it comes to decorating.
The gifts were wonderful, both received and given. I love picking out things that people will love, and making them, too. Dave and I made little snowmen for all of the families. It went over pretty well.
My favorite gifts were
(Received)
- Cutting mat, for arts & crafts
-Pin Up Girl, a musical with Betty Grable (also my new fav movie)
-GPS HECK YEAH! I have a great sense of direction, but I am always lost. The one I have talks, tells me speed limits and business information, gas station locations- and even covers Canada! Plus it is small and easy to take with me places.
-This really pretty powder blue vintage-looking box. It had things in it, but I love the box more than it's contents
(Given)
-Scrap book of Dave and Kayce stuff. It has contents of things dating back to when we first met, with little blogs, ticket stubs, wristbands and notes-and surely lots of pictures,
-The snow men. Dave and I cut, painted, sharpened, drilled glued and sewed those things, and man they are cute. We made so many it looked like a small army was trying to take over our apartment.
-Jewelry set. I made my mom to bracelets and matching earrings. She loves the home crafted stuff
-hand sewn fleece scarves...although I still have a few to finish...
