Christmas deserves an awesome post and that is what I intend to do...tomorrow.

It has taken me over 30 minutes just to close applications on my computer tonight. Could be because I only have 3 gigs of memory left and it can't even do a proper back up? I guess that's what you get when you document your life in photos every day for a year. It a good thing I got another external hard drive for Christmas. I will be putting it to good use tomorrow and will return with a super extensive and awesome Christmas post. Until tomorrow! Merry Christmas!

A few years ago we started decorating sugar cookies. And not the easy way, the hard-core way. We chill the dough. We make a few different versions of icing. We decorate each one with tender love and care.

Some how, we seem to get worse every year.

But it's okay, because my sisters and I have a pretty great time, regardless.


Roll the dough!


Paint the cookie!


Mess up and then remember, it's just a cookie! One of your little cousins is going to grab it right out of the tin, anyway.


Two of my favorites.

In other news:

Lauren wrapped my gift pretty terribly. And so I put a pine cone on top of hers. They look much worse in person. We love each other!

And now I present to you, my impromptu Christmas card!!



Merry Christmas from me and my reluctant psycho-baby-girl-gravy-faced dog!

Merry Christmas, mom!

Dad took her to the AT&T store and bought her an iPhone 4. We tried to surprise her, but she caught on. She was still pretty excited, though she said she didn't want to be addicted to hers "like Brittany". Hmph!

Tonight I went to Dallas and attended a Christmas party by surprise or accident. Lauren wanted me to come and so I did and you know what? It's kind of fun going to a party where you don't know anyone. We just went to watch our friend play some music. We didn't expect the awesome food in every room and the bar in the back.

Now it's late and we're driving home from stalking an ex-boyfriend with some reluctant (sorta) guys and going to a soccer game that started just before midnight that I'm still confused about. Fun way to top off a day of shopping with my mom and sisters, only I made butternut squash lasagna and had to leave before I could taste it. That almost ruined my day, but I'll get over it.

Have you ever been so broke that you made your own envelopes with glue and paper?

It's a good thing I'm resourceful. And besides the ghetto tape on the back (not pictured...) I think they look pretty swell.

My dad shot two deer. This morning I had some of that deer for breakfast. Oh, the technologies of the meat market!


And I was going to take pictures of the lunar eclipse but I crashed in my bed right about the time that it started. I woke up at 4:30 AM and willed myself to get up and go look, and then I rolled over and it was 7 AM. But the moon was lookin' pretty good at about 5:30 PM!

On December 19, 2010, I made this soup.

Cop. Out.
