Today I'm bringing you a very short summary of December…because I don't really feel like writing about Christmas. Not because I don't love it, because I do, but because the sun is out today; I feel like I should be writing about Spring, detoxing, spring cleaning, flowers, or something. All of which I won't be doing today because it's not spring and it's super cold outside lol. I will say I have my Tahitian Coconut candle burning, so that's boosting my spirits today :)

 These are some cups I'm debating about getting from Pier One. They're just so different and cool. I love them.

 And this is totally awesome; but I suppose the more I look at it, I think having a cake stand would be nice if it were more plain. Obviously a cake with peanut butter frosting or something like that wouldn't match. Hmmmmm...

 This picture is from a weekend we had no power, I believe due to heavy rain/snow/winds. Our house got below 59 degrees, which is SUPER cold for us; we don't have to pay for heat, so we keep it around 70-72. We were SO COLD and were super thankful when the heat came on. And yes, we are so lazy that when it came time to take out the air-conditioning unit way back in September, we just set it on the floor and have yet to move it…that and the screen for the window.  I will also admit that because we couldn't cook dinner, we had fast food. And it was awful. I still can't believe I used to eat so much of it. It just tastes fake and gross. And I'm talking about KFC popcorn chicken and potato wedges, which is something I used to get all the time. I guess this is a good thing though-it shows I'm doing something right with what I'm putting in my body :)

This is as far as we got for taking our family Christmas photo lol. She HATED IT!!! Any ideas on how to keep the hat on the cat???

 This was at my previous job's Christmas party-my last day was the Friday before, but they still invited me…and gave me a gas card, which I just used this past week :)

 Christmas at my sister's house :)

 Chocolate-covered marshmallows on candy canes made by my sister-in-law :)

 Presents from Tim :) A pie crust protector (I obviously asked for these-how else would he have thought of getting me this lol-although, if he did, I would have been super impressed). I just hated getting SO FRUSTRATED when the aluminum foil would keep coming off!!! Ugh. Now I don't have that problem :)

Can't wait to make some burgers!

 I absolutely LOVE these books.

Our Christmas tradition-having a Harry Potter marathon. I love it.

Christmas at my parent's house

 This says "Emily's Dresser". Apparently I used to brand everything lol

Benjamin took this picture :) 

This is Tim's nephew…I swear they were at this for more than an hour lol. He was having so much fun :)

This was at my dad's birthday, when he realized he would be driving his motorcycle this summer :) We all chipped in and paid for the insurance. He was so happy :)

Okay, so I feel happier now that I've written this, even if it was about wintertime :) Now time to research buying a camera bag and video camera!!! Tim and I and some friends are going to Boston in March and I need those things ;) We're making a pit-stop at Niagara Falls, and I've ALWAYS wanted to go there. I'm so excited! Planning a trip in March is definitely something to keep away the winter blues :) That, and my sister is HAVING HER BABY BOY in approximately 2 weeks!!! I'm super excited to meet him. I just did some pregnancy photos for her yesterday. They turned out great :)
