Christmas Wrap Up....just a month belated

So, I have been procrastinating on Christmas posts because I did such a dismal job at photoing the events of the holiday.  But, I also like to blog in the order that events happen.  That means that my procrastination is now keeping me from blogging about a sweet roller derby, NYE, Liv playing basketball, and who knows what else.  So, here it is...a lame Christmas wrap up:   



What we have here is a gift opening thing at my mom's house, Liv and Grandma mid cookie baking with a 'party drink', Josie's new activity table from Santa and our completed cookies.  At least this blog got done before the lights came off the house....win.

Snowflake Is Here!!

Our elf finally arrived last week.  The girls named him Snowflake and have been very good about following the no touching rule.  Snowflake has also been a powerful motivator to get the girls out of bed in the morning.  It's a race to see who can find him first...I love that my girls are still caught up in the magic of Christmas!

Moving to Christmas...

The lights are up!

See Y'all...I have been busy (in this case, Painting With A Twist)

This is the best idea ever, and I hope the owners become billionaires.  Painting With A Twist posts a monthly calendar and you sign up to paint on whatever day blows your skirt up.  In this case, we did a funky Christmas tree.  You show up, go to your assigned seat where canvas, paint, and brushes await.  There's an instructor that leads everyone how to paint whatever it is your painting.  But here's the kicker gang--you can drink while you do this!  Zing!!  Most fun way to unwind with friends ever.  I had a super fun time and can't wait to go back.  I may be the next Van Gogh, except I'll probably keep both of my ears...



Cake War

There's a girl at my job (shout out Lizzie) who makes all of the birthday cakes in our office--and they are amazing.  So for her birthday we organized a secret Cake War.  It was super fun!  My team put a tone of time and dollars into our cake, and even though we only got 2nd place, I'll continue to think our cake was the best....

Wrapping Up Halloween

I didn't blog it in a timely manner, but we did do the actual trick or treating on time.  But, how funny would it be to be in costume, asking for candy while everyone else is putting lights on their house.  Nice. 




Too Belated To Be Acceptable Halloween Montage

Just a random smattering of Halloween...now that we're well into the Christmas season.  I am an awesome blogger!
