Best of Christmas

Unfortunately another Christmas has come and gone... I always love seeing Christmas come but I hate seeing it be over. It is definitely the most wonderful time of the year and by far my favorite! But it did leave us with a few epic memories. In review, the best of Christmas 2010:

1. My dad's festive foot cast
2. Cleaning the church on Christmas Eve
3. Scavenger hunting for presents (sorry Ashlie)
4. "If Santa comes and I miss him because of you, this Christmas is over!"
5. "It's an... empty shoe box?... with an IOU... really?!"
6. Josh Groban's I'll Be Home for Christmas, and yes... mom crying
7. Wii bowling and Just Dance (nice moves Greg!)
8. Shopping with the nephews (read: them eating McDonald's while you do the shopping)

So much food, family, and fun. I LOVE Christmas!!!

Step #1: Borrow a cute idea from here

Step #2: Get the Goods
Step #3: Dip in Chocolate... what else is there?!

Step #4: Arrange in a Mouthwatering Display complete with Holiday Card!
And voila!!!

It's Not Easy Being Green

Well, we decided that the awful pink paint in our apartment had more than worn out its welcome (if it ever had one) and definitely needed to go! And Tim, being the handy man that he is, jumped at the opportunity for a do it yourself home project. So, I picked out the paint, Tim did the work, and Ta Da! It's like a whole new apartment! We decided on green, a very lovely shade if I do say so myself.

It looks something like this,

and went on something like this,

But for some reason all the pictures turn out like this.

Not attractive! It really doesn't look that green though, and it feels way better than the pink! We never actually officially got permission to do this, but I think it's safe to say they won't mind the improvement.
