On the 4th Day of Christmas...

Christmas Memories


As I'm sure most people do, I have a lot of Christmas memories.  I remember some better than others.  I remember admiring our (real) Christmas tree with all of the bright colorful lights, sentimental ornaments (some my sister and I made) in our old house.  I remember my mom's work Christmas parties at our house with all of the delicious food she made.  I remember baking cookies with my Grandma and then consuming them.  I remember a lot of delicious meals with family.  I remember time at Grandma's house (I loved Christmas Eve's there!) I remember waking up at 4 am-ish because I was so excited to open presents and then sneaking out to the living room to see what Santa brought (even after "Santa" stopped coming).  I might have even peeked in my stocking.  Oops.


Here are some recent memories in pictures:



A fabulous Gingerbread house made by these two lovely ladies:


 When I lived in an apartment with my college roommate we had friends from church over to paint ornaments.  It was a lot of fun and we need to do it again

Jenny, Laurie, Ryan, Sowmya & Samantha

Samantha, Janet, Nina, Kristin & April

Ryan and Sowmya with their snowmen.  (Sowmya's is UofL themed)

Samantha, Janet, Nina & Kristin with their finished products.

My oldest nephew (now 3 1/2) as Santa.  So cute!

Ethan and I on Christmas...3 years ago.

And because I am apparently terrible at taking pictures around Christmas, that's all I've got.  I am now making a promise to my self to not do that this year!!

  3. Caitlin - surprisingly he didn't mind the bows. Now as a 3 yr old that would be a different story!

    Rachel - Thanks for coming over & following! I was actually looking at your blog last night and am about to follow. :) And the gingerbread house was actually a kit that was bought. A bunch of us made them one year at a church Christmas party. No baking involved :)
