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! 

holy dishwasher!

We have been hard at work again. Still a lot to do on the kitchen. 

Philip finished up the wiring today and the dishwasher is running! 

It has been tough living like this...We thought our counter space was limited before...

And now it's running! Yahoo! No leaks yet!

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.
