And that means I’m gearing up to get my Christmas cards done and in the mail!
If you’d like to receive a Christmas card from my family to yours, simply fill out the form below!
Furthermore, if you’ve moved and I don’t have a current address for you, fill it out as well ;)
FINALLY – If you’d like to send me one (because I do love snail-mail!), send me a message and I’ll email you my address if I don’t think you’re a serial murderer ;)
XO
I know I’m a little late on the whole “Christmas Recap” blog post, but here it is in bullet form:
– We went to my mom’s Christmas Eve for ham dinner and to open presents. Isla was SPOILED rotten and we had a jolly good time.
– Christmas morning was laid back at home with just Kyle, Isla and I. We opened our presents and stockings and again, Isla was SPOILED. Kyle had to work that night, so Isla and I went down to my mom’s for a light turkey dinner.
– On Saturday, Kyle and I hosted a big family dinner with both his and my family. There were 12 of us all together for dinner and it was a great hit. Everyone seemed to have a good time and who got spoiled? Oh, that’d be Isla again!
– Kyle spoiled me with my Macbook back in November, but he also got me a scope for my .22 rifle. I got him a new shirt, a wallet and a target for his .22 .(Yeah, we’re rednecks that way!) I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Isla’s presents! She got a “TV” for her crib (a Fischer Price musical thing with lights and sounds), SO MANY CLOTHES, books, and a cool little walker with a removable interactive toy. I’m sure I’m missing something, but again – SPOILED!
– It seemed to go by so fast this year. I’ve already taken down my decorations. Next year we hope to keep things lower key, maybe a dinner for just the three of us for Christmas. We’ll see what happens.
Now for some pictures:
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
I saw this on Stephany’s blog last week so I thought I’d take part as well. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve and snuggle down easily before Santa comes tonight! ;)
1. Favourite Christmas album/CD/song?
“Baby It’s Cold Outside” by She & Him.
2. Run on Christmas morning or take the day off?
Bahaha – Working out is not on my menu whatsoever, regardless of what day it is. I’m horrible, I know.
3. What do you usually eat on Christmas morning?
When I was little it was usually a big pancake breakfast of some sort – Pancakes, hashbrowns, and of course THE BACON! Nowadays, it’s whatever’s in the cupboards, but I’m sure that will change once Isla is bigger/eating “regular” food.
4. Favourite Christmas tradition?
Driving around to look at Christmas lights, or watching Christmas movies all day.
5. Real tree, fake tree, or no tree?
Real tree all the way! Right now we’re buying cultured trees off lots, but when the little munchkin is big enough, we’ll go to the woods and hack down our own (legally, of course – you have to get a permit to cut down a tree). It’s one of my favourite Christmas memories growing up – being pulled behind the truck on a toboggan, drinking hot chocolate, getting warm around a bon fire … I can’t wait!
6. Christmas pajamas: yay or nay?
We used to get Christmas PJ’s every year (always on Christmas Eve!) so I will say “Yay” to them!
7. Where do you spend the holidays?
Wherever family is!
8. Food that you always have to have during the holiday season? Favourite Christmas food/treat?
A Terry’s Chocolate Orange!
9. Open presents all at once or take turns? Stockings: yes or no?
We take turns! It makes Christmas morning last longer that way. And YES to stockings! It’s probably my favourite part of Christmas.
10. Favourite Christmas(ish) movie?
A Muppet Family Christmas. Loooove it! And Elf is slowly winning my heart too (I watched it for the first time last year!)
