Christmas!!!!!

Decided to post a Christmas post with a shout out to my non-facebooking buddies Toria and Leesie :) They never get any cool pictures because I am a jolly rotten emailer and I never post on here. This post may be a little boring to the 239,245,8

57 rest of you who've all seen these pics on fb, but I don't care about y'all. Ok, I do. All right here come the pics, forgive the quality, they're all from my phone........

Egg nog night with fam, egg nog, chex mix and Kung Fu Panda 2! And a cuddly picture.

Did a little SAVERS Christmas shopping. There's No L. Yeah, No L? Noel?

Ha!

haha.

heh.

We found a hugeginormous chocolate santa.

Our Christmas tree!

And the gingerbread house contest!

Bird's house won the "Most Like a Bloody Massacre" award. Or "Best Pile of Lava". Take your pick.
Lou's won overall! The frosting snowman did it.

Zekers won "Best Little Gumdrop Hangy-down Thingy" or something. He was pretty stoked about it though.

Mayf's won "Most Robotic". Don't you agree?

Mine won "Most Delicious Looking", but I think all that red icing just looks nasty.

Floofy hair

And a first attempt at candy cane nails.

The chillens did a wonderful singing job at the Immanuel Christmas play, so let's see if I can get this vid to upload. Maybe. We'll see what happens.

And now the actual Christmas :) Didn't get many pics of the day, but here's an idea...

Pink laptop keys cover thingy! Fun present! Looks so awesome! Problem is the silicone gets stuck up under my spacebar and I can't hit it. So I just took it off. Still figuring out what to do there...any ideas?

Formal blowdarting with Caesar. Made him this tee with what once was a black fabric sharpie from Nana. Now it writes about as well as the wrong end of a candle. But the shirt turned out better than I thought.

Looking at all the stuff!!

LOOK at this stocking!!!!!! It's from my Efum, made by Lou. Apparently they schemed and schemed about how to make it for a long time and I LOVE IT!!!!! It completely made the day.

Me and Hun on Christmas night.

A couple of Christmas Quotes:

Dad (reading a Christmas picture book): "And the cows and sheep in the stable also bowed their heads with the wise men--wait, REALLY? That's not Biblical! What are we reading????"

Bird: "Zekey, let me teach you the secret handshake!"

Zekey: "Not right now. I'm busy working on the secret elbow strike."

And here's a story of what happened to me today, the day after Christmas. I woke up and it hit me like a lightning bolt that I had not heard one of my favorite Christmas songs come on the radio AT ALL this season. HEARTBREAK!!! I communicated my woe to some family members, who all said, "YouTube it, you can still listen to it, it's not too late", but it sorta WAS. Having special Christmas songs come on the radio of their own accord for the Holidays is one of the many irreplaceable sensations of the Season. So I sucked it up and went about life until tonight at 9:24, when almost home from a movie time at Honey's, lo, IT CAME ON AIR 1!!!!! Made my day!!!! By the way isn't that such a great word, "lo"? I think we should bring it back into this day and age. Like "I tried to X out of iTunes but lo, it took like 7 minutes". So doable. Anyway in the end, I even got to listen to my song. It's the little things that let you know God has your best interest at heart. This is the stuff that makes my heart just that little bit thankfuller. Oh, you want to listen to it too you say? Here ya go. Having someone else Youtube it for you is almost like it coming on of it's own accord...

Corny? I guess yes. Do I care. Nope.

Well, this is the end of my Christmas picture post. Hope you now feel oh so updated. Now I am off to read the Word of the Birthday Savior, then maybe one of the gems that came out of that stocking, then fall asleep looking forward to Valentine's day! :D
