Post Christmas

Once again Christmas has come and gone. The hustle and bustle has settled down. Things are back to normal....including my living room. This year I was determined to leave our tree up at least through the New Year. Well....that's not the story.....I was frustrated the Saturday after Christmas so I turned up the music and de-decorated our place....then I did a deep clean....I mean I actually dusted our shelves! You should have seen the dust on the shelves.....YUCK! Now things are clean, the rooms look bigger, and I actually have room to move. I love Christmas...but I swear I accumulate more decorations and never get rid of any. Oh well....our house someday will be well decorated.

Christmas this year was a blast.....despite the snow storm (yes, I wanted the snow....just not that much to throw off Christmas plans). We got together with my family on Christmas Eve day. We had so much food and we definitely didn't leave hungry. We had every snack imaginable. I think one of the best gifts that was given was to my dad. We discovered the Duck Hunter. It was so much fun to play with!I recommend this to anyone. It is a bird that charges up and then flies around while you shoot at it. It is hilarious to watch and play. We took it outside and played with it in the snow. I almost got it stuck on the roof.

I'm going to start off by saying that David is the BESTEST husband in the world!! We got me exactly what I wanted for Christmas.

This is my new camera. It is so nice. I can take nice pictures finally!! Plus I can take HD videos with it as well. It is so much fun. My parents got me a tripod and digital scrapbooking software as well and they didn't know that he had gotten this for me. So I am all set now! I can start a new hobby.

Since David is the best husband, I would like to think that I am the best wife....or one that doesn't want to get lost snowmobiling again. I got him a trail GPS.

It is similar to this one. We downloaded snowmobile maps to it so no more getting lost. Plus we can use it to go geocaching this summer.....something that I am really looking forward to doing! So if anyone wants to join in on the treasure hunt....just let us know!

Hope everyone else had a GREAT Christmas!! Happy New Year!

Christmas Baking

When you think of Christmas, everyone always thinks of all of the goodies that comes at this time of year. We have done so much baking in the past few weeks. Some of it was for gifts, other was just out of boredom and because we can. Here are some of our creations.

A lot of sugar right?! I'm sure glad this time of year only comes a year...Good thing New Year's resolutions are coming to make up for all the sugar comsumption!

We wish every one a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
