christmas 2010 | a little late

Here are a few pictures that sum up my Christmas day...there are many more, but here is a taste...

...sorry it's so late, by the way!

always great food & great conversation

This picture is of Philip - doesn't it look light out? Oh wait, it is. It is because we got snowed in & had to spend the night there! I think I will remember this Christmas for a long time!

I am still celebrating the season! 

crafter's block.

Do you ever get crafter's block? Like a crafty version of writer's block? I think I have it now. I have been really into blogging of late and have found myself reading other blogs and working on my own. I have worked on a lot of design things in our house, and have had a lot of fun doing that (but it can be an expensive habit...)

I guess this is a typical January slump-like feeling for me. It is hard to move on from Christmas. I want it to stay. This is how I feel right now...as far as crafting goes...

merry christmas from lucy

Philip & I exchanged Christmas gifts today. His gift to me was  a new lens for my camera. We have already had some fun taking some pictures around the house, but it will be really fun to have over the Christmas break! Yay! Here are a few of Lucy decked out in her Christmas Santa suit from Bryan. Last year Philip gave me Lucy for Christmas & she is the gift that keeps on giving...

Merry Week of Christmas!                

christmas to do list

...our front window decorations...

Only a week until Christmas! I love this time of year, but it always seems to come faster than I expected. I decided to make a list of things I hope to do. Is that bad? I mean I know its a break, but I always wish I had got certain things done.

• Start exercising over break {I have been meaning to get back into it & maybe having free time will help!}
• Sleep in {this will be easier for me than for Philip}
• Finish Christmas shopping before the 23rd...
• Find a new tv series to watch {Philip + I watched Grey's Anatomy from season 1 this fall and we are all caught up}
• Enjoy being with our friends & families
• Start some traditions 
• Find a refrigerator on sale so we can put it in when break is done
• Watch at least one Christmas movie
• Find some good music we both like {we have $15 to itunes...any suggestions??}

...so I realize some of them are not specific or measurable, but oh well.
