Merry Christmas

"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. " - Luke 2

Christmas 1.0, 2009

We celebrated Christmas a bit early this year, and you know what? I am a-ok with that! I love it! My sister, her spawn, and I spent the weekend at my parents and we opened presents on Saturday morning.

My gift? A Vacuum! Disregard the messy house and focus on the purple!

Fun with Goggles

My sister has a pair of welders goggles she got for some reason (she doesn't weld). She lets her son play with them. My parents never taught me how to share and so when I saw them, I wanted them.

Personally, I think I look way cuter. The hat is technically his as well, but I appropriated it for the greater good.

Actually, she looks the cutest. Disregard the look of contempt on her face and focus on the "doggie wearing goggles" part.

The nephew was not so sure about his aunt. I am not sure why, nothing says "hey, I am your friend" like a woolen cap being worn in SW Georgia with goggles upon your face.

Everything is fun when you have goggles.

Frankenmuth, Michigan

I visited Michigan last month (we won't address my tardiness in posting this entry) and spent the weekend in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Frankenmuth is dubbed "Michigan's Little Bavaria" and it is too cute.

It is a very quaint little village and the weather was absolutely perfect. I was worried it was going to be very cold, but it was awesome.

I am not going to say the peacocks were the best part, but...

And, when we went, Christmas decorations were already out!

New Year's Resolutions

I will admit, it is a bit early for this, but...

Some people do not like New Year's Resolutions (*cough* my mother), but I am not one of those people! I enjoy challenging myself. Though I do not often keep my resolutions, it can't hurt to try, right? I say correct! So, here are my "not the boring old 'save money' 'lose weight'" resolutions because, let's face it, everyone makes those resolutions!

1. Blog at least once a week

2. Learn to crochet (Andrew has equipped me, so now I must do it)

3. Take a class of some sort (crochet classes do not count)

Maybe blogging about this will help me achieve these resolutions! I don't think they are too crazy that I cannot keep them.

Let's do this.
