Update and Christmas Things

Image
By
Friends, it has been too long!  We have so much to catch up on.  Christmas, cute pictures of me and Danny, the cool book I'm reading, New Year's goals, the awesome trip to the South that I just returned from.  Man oh man, do I have a lot of blog posts that need to be written.  I returned late last night from our vacation and my head has been swimming all day.  Re-entering back into the real world is rough.  Good thing there is a weekend around the corner.  Since I like things in order, let's start with Christmas things.  I hope you all had a very merry Christmas.  We sure did.  Here are a few festive things we did leading up to the day plus Christmas itself.

Family Christmas Party at Tim and Katie's

 There was graham cracker house decorating...


Delicious food consuming...

Baby holding...


Game playing...




And gift giving...


Acting out the Nativity with Mary and her kids

Danny the shepherd.
I think this picture is so sweet.  Mary was Mary, Lady Lu wanted to be the
baby Jesus and J-Man was a wise man.
I was the angel.  Most tender moment was
when my nephew told me I looked like a real
angel.  So cute.  I paid him $5 afterwards.

    Looks like fun! And PS, where did you get that amazing lace top in the Momma Hemingway photo? It's stunning! And so are you!

      Why thank you Talena. I think I got it from Down East, which I know isn't your fav store. I got it like a year ago and kind of forgot that I owned it. I do that sometimes.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
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!

By
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...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
