Happy New Years… a few days late of course. We had a nice little party at our house to watch the ball drop. Sadly, our party was not the most exciting, and everyone ended up sitting in the living room watching one person at a time play Chicken Shoot on the Wii (don’t ask). Then we watched some questionable musical dance routines on the various New Year’s programs… the one we found the most enjoyable and family-friendly was one of the spanish (Mexican?) networks, go figure!One exciting moment for me (before the ball drop… that’s *always* exciting) was when Mom…

So… what have I been up to during my downtime this holiday season? Well, besides manically changing the theme and style of this blog about 50 different times (still going with that, btw), I’ve been touring holiday homes across the country. Legitimate stalking ensues (stocking stalking, hee hee!).Nester’s site has a grand Christmas Tour with over a THOUSAND links people submitted to posts about their holiday decor. I cannot resist. If you have an hour or a million, go check it out if you haven’t already. Even though Christmas is over now, it’s still super fun, trust me.So, I may…

December 28th, 2009, 03:08 pm Cute dreaming Arin’s talked in his sleep before, but the other night he was dreaming about Santa Claus and presents. He said Santa, and box, open box, open present. And a few other things, it was so adorable. <3

This basically sums up our Christmas morning! Lots of fun, family, and TOYS. We had a wonderful day, hope you all did too!

Once upon a time long ago there was a cozy house all decorated for Christmas. Logs burned merrily in the fireplace and a Christmas Tree glittered with lights as all was ready for Santa’s visit and a happy festive season of merriment and joy.

Previously Arin’s toys ruled the living room… but we had to make room for the Christmas tree. It’s a good thing we did, because we ended up with the fattest, widest tree ever! It takes up almost all the space that you see Arin clearing here. Isn’t he so sweet, deliberately picking up all his books and stacking them up on his chair?

Here it is, the ‘official’ Santa shot. I was too lazy to take it out of the frame, so I just took a picture of it on the mantle. I did fix it up a little bit! If I get more ambitious later I’ll actually scan it and make it glowy or something. Merry Christmas!

During my take-home final last Tuesday, Mom took Arin out for a fun night at the mall, so I would have some time to complete my test in peace. I’m jealous thought, because he had such a fun night and I wish I had gotten to go! They met up with Carl and JJ, and first went to see SANTA. Arin loves Santa, even if this one is a bit creepy looking. Carl was smart and brought his camera, so he got these shots while they were taking the official ones. It turns out that the night they went was…

We had a large storm, the first of the ‘official’ winter season. I’m not counting the storm we had earlier in the year, because that was just uncalled for. Now, though, we have enough to ensure a “white Christmas”… probably. We got almost a foot of snow last week and let me tell you, it was heavy and not at all fun to shovel. This “storm” was only an inch or two and came a few days before the big one… but the snow was very wet and stayed on the trees for days, so pretty!
