Christmas 2011 Recap part 1

So Christmas has came and gone already. Of course I have not made a single blog post since. So I figured I should start recapping my Christmas.

I figured I would start with my Christmas decorations (which are already put away :-(.)

Our bathroom

Our Bedroom

Our Living Room

 The Kitchen/Dining room

Our Christmas Tree

 Our new Christmas 2011 Ornaments

We also got a couple new 2011 ornaments from my mom for Christmas. 

Those will be in the new recap post.

 The next recap post will be of the Gingerbread house I made, what we did Christmas Eve, and what we did Christmas day.

Christmas Card

So I did not make a Christmas card in enough time to order and mail out this year. I did buy blank Christmas cards and wrote in them from my family. Then I handed them out to my dad's side of the family at our Christmas party on December 11th. We took some cute pictures that day, so today I decided to play on Photoshop. I played around and made our own photo Christmas card. We don't have big enough photo paper so I can not print them out to give to my family on Christmas :-(.

So here is our Christmas card for this year:

I really like it and of course my boyfriend helped by giving me some points since He knows more about Photoshop then I do.

I may email it to people and post it on Facebook since I don't have big enough photo paper to print it.

Merry Christmas 

Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving !!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. Most people in the U.S. will be getting up, some may be watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade or a different one, and some people may be joining in a local Turkey Trot. Afterwards we will head to a family members house or stay home if you hosting Thanksgiving. During the day we will be helping make a Thanksgiving meal or watching football while others cook. Then we will all sit down to a meal with our family and friends at 1:00 pm which is called dinner but really more like lunch. We will give our thanks for the year and then eat until we are as stuffed as the turkey. Then we will rest until we have enough room to gobble down pumpkin pie, apple pie, or cherry pie. Many of us may be invited to more then one house on Thanksgiving so we will get to have two or three Thanksgivings. 

I will be watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and then heading to my grandmothers house with my boyfriend for Thanksgiving with my dad's side of the family. Afterwards we will be stopping by my Aunt's house for my mom's side of the family. We will say hi and get to see my other Aunt who is coming home from Georgia. Then we will head home and have Thanksgiving dinner with my boyfriend's mom and grandma. Then at 8:00 pm I will be watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. 

Today I am just relaxing at home with my boyfriend and then tonight we will be making a pumpkin pie for my boyfriend's family meal. 

What are you doing for thanksgiving? Are you traveling to your family's homes or just staying home?

Halloween weekend 2011

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. My Halloween night was very nice and quit. The boyfriend and myself stayed home like we usually do and watched movies/TV shows while giving out candy. We ended up running out of candy around 7:24 pm and shut our door and turned off the lights. It was perfect timing because we had planned on closing the door at 8 pm anyways to watch How I Met Your Mother. Then I made my adult treat strawberry daiquiris. Here is my recap of Halloween weekend 2011 in pictures. Warning it isn't that exciting.

 --I am going to start with our decorations. We didn't have a lot but we did have some cute stuff.

 There are our Halloween decorations which are already now put away :-).

--Friday night we carved our pumpkins. I carved a Hello Kitty face and Tony carved a kind of vampire face. After we carved them we lite them up and took a lot of pictures.

  

Sadly by Saturday the face at my pumpkin had already fallen into itself by Hello Kitty's ears. Mainly because of the heat and because I accidentally carved part of her bow wrong. But at least I got all of these pretty pictures before that happened.

 On Saturday and Sunday we didn't really do anything other then go grocery shopping and hang around our house.

On Monday we had a day of watching movies since we both work from home right now. We watched Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and then took a break from movies. We then watched the end of Twilight on FX later in the night while eating dinner. For dinner we had pigs in blankets and chips and dip. We watched TV and gave out candy to trick or treaters. We also had Halloween cupcakes that were really cute. We ran out of candy at 7:24 pm and then we watched How I Met Your Mother at 8:00 pm. And I made my strawberry daiquiri yum. Which I already stated at the beginning of the post. 

My Halloween outfit laid out on my bed.

 Cute Pumpkin ear-rings from Avon.

 Pumpkin necklace also from Avon

  

So there is my Halloween weekend recap with pictures. I told you it wasn't that exciting lol. But it is was what I like doing. Staying at home with the boyfriend and my kittys.
