where's the snow?

I LOVE Christmas. Compared to most people, you could call me an insane Christmas person. My home and my office look like Christmas threw up in them! People at work think I'm crazy, but I just love this time of the year-people are nicer, there's great sales at practically every store you go to, the food is awesome, family gets together, and I have this "thing" where I LOVE buying people gifts constantly! My problem this year? THERE'S NO SNOW!!! We always have snow at Christmas! I remember only one Christmas where we didn't have snow; however, there was a gorgeous frost. This year just doesn't feel like Christmas because we haven't had snow at all. I'm doing my best to be in the Christmas spirit, but there's something about snow that just makes it magical.

As I've said before, Tim is a drummer. 

We have a large apartment, but when Tim plays his drums, it's LOUD! So, Tim came up with a nifty plan:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! they didn't work very well-i need actual earplugs.

This past weekend was Tim's birthday. We had the whole weekend together-it was really nice :) And if you haven't seen "Sherlock Holmes", whatever the second one is called, you definitely should-it's awesome!

i tried many times to get a good picture; sadly, this is the best one...he really is handsome-he just takes bad pictures :)

chocolate cake! yum! and mismatched candles :)

Does anyone know how to save pictures on your blog so when they're deleted off your computer, they STAY on your blog? I'd rather not keep a billion pictures on my desktop.

Today marks Day 1 of my 4 days off :) I'm planning on making/decorating cookies and buying the rest of the gifts I need to buy. Hope everyone has a great day :)
