Weekly Wanderings #1/2011

If I have a set post to keep track of all of our wanderings...I think I will blog more regularly. Here we go!

1. Slept in far too long every day, but enjoyed a fun Christmas break with JT and Bri.
2. Played our new game "Funglish", it really is FUN!
3. Have completely stayed out of the cold for over two weeks, my body is going to go into shock tomorrow during recess.
4. After getting a new piano for Christmas, I am discovering that I remember more than I thought I did, and I am really enjoying it!
5. I am grateful for my friends and family, those people who I can truly count on to support me and stand by my side...no matter what!

Think happy thoughts...

I will not rant...I will not rant...I WILL NOT RANT...(but i could...)




Instead, here is a cute picture of my grandparents...Aren't they just adorable!

Murder and Mayhem

This made me smile!

Bowling with Keekin

We had fun bowling with Keekin.  She and Bri always have so much fun together.  What a better way to spend the holiday break than hanging out and playing!
 But...apparently no event is complete without a gaping head wound!  Keekin spent the night and thrashed around and hit her head on who-knows-what.  When I woke up the next morning I was informed of the incident.  A quick call to her mom and a trip to the doctors office, it would have needed stitches but had been too long...
(hi, my name is LM and I break babies...)

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas.  It was very relaxing.  We always have fun spending time together and not doing much of anything at all...can doing nothing be a "tradition"?
 This year we invited the missionaries to our home to make their phone calls home.  It was fun seeing them come in with huge smiles on their faces after getting some time to talk with their families.  It made our Christmas extra special to spend some time with these hard working Elders.

Christmas Eve

How do you wrap a hippopotamus? VERY CAREFULLY! We totally had her stumped, she couldn't guess what this gift was!
 Apparently I cannot stay awake during a movie...even if it is Christmas Eve!  Bri had my camera and had fun snapping pics of me.  To be fair, I woke up after the movie was over and was up for the rest of the evening.

Christmas Crafts

I have a stack of book "innerds" that I am left with after making my book purses.  I have been wanting to do some crafts with the cool old pages...this is my first one, it is supposed to be a Christmas tree, but isn't quite the right shape, but I like it anyway.
 I saw a craft blog that posted these cool pointy trees...they were a must for my table centerpiece.  I love them!

Dance recital

Bri had another dance recital for Christmas.  She did a good job, and had a lot of fun with her cousins.  She really loves her dance class and I love the confidence it gives her.

Paper cranes

1000 paper cranes for a family we love.  I am so happy to have been involved with this project.
