December on Instagram

Dec. 1 - We had a baby shower for both of my sisters who were/are expecting.  
Noelle made this adorable baby carriage out of diapers for Michele.   
Such creative family members I have.
Dec. 1:  Another example of my creative family members, Katie made
these cute onesie cookies for the baby shower.  PS Noelle was expecting
a boy and Michele is expecting a girl.
Dec. 1 : Oh Holy Night...We also went to Temple Square that evening
to enjoy the Christmas lights with some friends.
Dec. 1:  This was a very busy day for us. Danny and I also got a
Christmas tree after visiting Temple Square.  I think these ornaments
my Mother-in-law made for us are so cute.
Dec. 3:  Our friend Laura got us tickets to the Utah Chamber Artists
Christmas Concert, since she sings in the choir.  This was my best
attempt at getting a picture of her during the concert.
Dec. 3:  My and Danny's attempt of being classy, by attending
the fancy Christmas Concert.
Dec. 10:  We babysat our nephews one evening so my brother and his
wife could attend a Christmas party.  I just have to say little Ry-guy is
a genius.  This puzzle was for kids ages 4+, he's only 2 and put it
together all by himself.  I told him how impressed I was.  His response:
"See Jannifer, I told you I'm really smart with this puzzle." 
Dec. 10:  Being the awesome babysitters that we are, of course the
nerf and dart guns came out.
Dec. 15: At the family Christmas party, I was a proud Bingo winner of
these Operation band-aids.  
Dec. 20 - The treat table at work was out of control.  I'm pretty sure I
was on a sugar high for the last few days of work before
Christmas vacation.
Dec. 21 - This particular evening I was really cranky, so we
decided to go on a date, haha.  After we went out to dinner and
I ate something, I felt much better. Amazing what raising your blood
sugar levels can do.  Anyway, for our date activity we checked
out the bookstore around the corner.  I Love Bookstores!
They just make me so happy.
Dec. 21 - I found a castle book while hanging out at the bookstore. I had
 to find a picture of Bamburgh Castle, because I want to live there someday.  
Dec. 21:  All great dates end with hot chocolate, well dates in the winter
time at least.
Dec. 24:  The husband enjoying Christmas Eve brunch.
Dec. 24:  It appears they left the 'pan' out of my pancake and just brought
me a blueberry cake.  Merry Christmas to me!
Dec. 25:  One of my favorite Christmas presents, the world!
Thanks Danny!
Dec. 26:  There was a really gorgeous sunset welcoming us
when our airplane landed in Louisiana.
Dec. 27:  We went out for some Southern cookin' and I was a bit tickled
by the vegetable options, since they were so different than what
I'm used to.
Dec. 28:  Upon arriving in Florida, I learned that you can get a
free cup of orange juice at the Florida Visitor's Center.  I love
that Southern hospitality.
Dec. 30:  While in Florida, we stayed at Danny's sister's house.  My little
niece set her dolls up to be me and Danny in her doll house.
So adorable.
Dec. 31 - Also While in Florida, we went on a boat tour at Walluka Springs
 and I got to see multiple gators in their natural habitat!
Dec. 31:  As the sun set on the last day of 2012, I was wading
in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  It was a good way to end
the year.

  2. Wow! What a great month! Dad and I used to love dates to the bookstore too. (Too bad we don't have a bookstore in this town). It was cheaper than a movie and much funner.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

Blogging is still cool, right?

I woke up this morning missing my blog. My very early 2000's blog. I had one called The Life of Jannifer during my 20's/single years. Then I had this one from 2010 - 2015 during my early married years. Then I have a website janniferwood.com where I tried to show I'm a serious writer. I still have that website and I'm still trying to show that I'm a serious writer. However, I missed my place of silliness, this little blog. Or I miss being younger, one of the two. Why not post after 7 years?  Also, I find the title of this blog funny because there are a select few people in my life who call me Jan. Most of them are family members or old friends. The even rarer is Janni, which is reserved for some of my nephews and a few other loved ones. My given name, Jannifer, is usually what I go by, but this also tends to be the most confusing for some reason. That whole A and not E throws people. So, I'll stick with Jan on this one.
