Charlie in a Box Lid

Ever since Christmas, Charlie has been cramming himself into this box lid. He is just a little too big for it, but he insists that he fits! It does not look comfortable at ALL!

Merry Christmas!

I had a great Christmas! I did two projects this year. I embroidered this hat for Mom:


And I did a portrait of my Uncle Mark's cat Boo-Gee, who just passed away.

We had a delicious breakfast to start the day off right.

Round two!

Mom loved her hat!


Somebody should have gotten dad a toothbrush for Christmas!

Baby Kate wore those pj pants again! They KILL me!

Here's your daily dose of cuteness:





Dad carving up the Christmas turkey:

Sneaking a taste!

Dad shows off his dinner plate as Uncle Mark scoops some stuffing onto his plate:

After dinner, I went uptown for awhile!

Stacked heads!

It was a unicorn pegasus kind of night. Maria!

Vana!

Sara!

Cheryl!

Tom!



Crystal!

Leah!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was fun this year. First, I got to go stocking-stuffer shopping with Mer and Baby Kate! LOOK AT THOSE PAJAMA PANTS:

Sleepy baby!

And at night, Ben and I went to his Dad's annual Christmas Eve party out at the cabin. Look at that scary bridge you have to cross to get there!

But after a long hike, once you get to the cabin, there is all sorts of fun as your reward. Including LASAGNA!

And PRESENTS!

And GAMES! Happy Christmas Eve!

Ben Got a Perm!

Ben got a PERM today! An honest-to-goodness permanent. His mom gave it to him! LOOK how curly:

Christmas Eve Eve

Tonight, Gina had Ben, Vana, Joe and I over for chicken pot pie!

It was DELICIOUS.

After dinner, we all headed over to Kayla's for some games! Ben and I busted out our matching sweaters. TWINS!

Then Leda changed into her green/gold sparkly button-down, which matches Ben's green/gold sparkly button-down, making us TRIPLETS!!!!

Vana and Joe!

Derrick, Kayla and Vana!

Yang and Sara!

Yang made some sort of smoothie and it was so gross on his mustache. Hahaha:
