Merry Christmas Series (Part 4)

Welcome to our Christmas play! This is my big surprise! We were low on people to do a play with so my sisters and I decided to do one with puppets. Here are a few photos to enjoy and this is the last of the Christmas series for this year.'

 This is all of us singing at the end. The animals on the top part are our "sheep" we used all of the stuffed animals and just added sheep ears. Emily is in the back playing Gabriel and Sherman The Bible Horse, I am on the left with the purple puppet who played the Inn Keeper-Shepherd-and-Angel and holding the baby Jesus sign, and Grace is on the right with the green puppet who played an Angel and Shepherd and the red puppet who was Joseph.

This is Gabriel (played by Emily) and Mary (played by Grace) when the angel tells her that she is going to have a son. We had issues with Mary's headscarf staying in the right spot.

This is a Shepherd being played by Emily.

This is a Shepherd being played by grace.

And this is the Narrator being played by me.

 

All in all we had a lot of fun, it was a lot of work but the finished play went very nicely. I wish you all could have been there with us.

 

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas Series (Part 3)

Okay folks! I am celebrating again! This is almost the end of this series. The next (and last) one is going to be about our Christmas play. But I am not going to tell you anything more than that because it is going to be a surprise! So I guess you will just have to stick around and find out what the deal is!

Any who, today we celebrated our last Christmas (not that anyone is dying, I just mean my last Christmas of the year) with my dad's side of the family.  We had a good time. I went there straight from work so right now I am tired because it is a little later than I am usually up. We ate dinner, which was really good. Then we opened a few gifts and then ate desert and played a few games. I wanted to highlight a few of the gifts that they gave me.

This is a sweater from CJBanks that I have wanted for a long time. I had told my grandma about it but I told her that I didn't buy it because I have a lot of sweaters and I had just bought the mustard yellow jean jacket that they had too. So I was really happy when I got this one! I really like mustard yellow.

 

So I am sure that at this point this device is almost obsolete. It is a CD player. I wanted one because sometimes it is a pain to put the CDs from the library on to my computer then in my iPad. This way I can just pop in the disk and off I go!

Yay! I got a gift card to the sewing center! I can't wait to go! Also, right now they are having a big end of the year sale so now is a great time to buy! I wonder what I'm going to get!

 

Well, that is the end of the Christmas presents for the year. There is going to be one last Christmas post, so stay tuned. I am kinda glad that we are almost done with Christmas but my birthday is next week so the celebrations aren't slowing down anytime soon! TTFN

 

Merry Christmas Series (Part 2)

Merry Christmas again! I hope all of you enjoyed a nice day with your families. I certainly did. I wanted to highlight a few of the things that I received from my awesome family!

 This is a vintage craft that my sister got for me. It is an owl that you make out of paper. I am going to save it for my house (someday) because I don't want to ruin it. Also, I don't have a lot of room in my room (ha-ha) so I am going to keep it nice. It was still in the shrink wrap! Awesome!



These are some glasses that I got in my stocking! Aren't they cute!?! I think that they look like the pink panther (girl style)!

This is the contents of my stocking. I got some really neat stuff. The green material on the right is a pillow case that my mother made for me.

I like poached eggs but I don't get to eat them very often since they take a while to cook. My mom got me a set of microwaveable egg poachers. I tried them out this morning. Unfortunately, I over did them so they ended up more like a hard boiled egg without the shell. Oh well, I can always try again tomorrow!

 These are some decorative measuring spoons that my mom gave me. My sister also got a set but with a different design. I can't wait to use them in my (ahem, future) kitchen.

This is a really neat gift. I love to wear hats and I had told my mom that I really really wanted a hat pin holder because I have several of them. So this is what I unwrapped this morning! Apparently my grandmother found it at an antique place. It is supposed to be a vase. (There is a watering hole in the back.) But Mom and I both thought that I could use it as a hat pin holder. Right now it is on my dresser. Love it! Thanks mom!

Merry Christmas Series (Part 1)

Happy Holidays everyone! I am now finally finished with the semester. I think I did pretty well on all of my finals. I hope that any of my readers that had to go through them as well did a good job too.

For my family we usually get two or three Christmas celebrations. This is because we celebrate with both my mother's and father's family. This year we get three because we celebrated with my mother's family this past weekend. Then on Christmas day we are going to be at my house and then towards the end of the week we get to celebrate with my other grandparents. Plus, if that isn't enough I also get to celebrate my birthday next week! Yay me!

So here is a little bit of my Christmas that I'm going to share with you!

This is one of my sisters. Emily got a huge sock monkey and she was pretty happy!

These are a couple of gingerbread people that I got to decorate. They were really yummy!

This is Grace reading to my new cousin Madisen (I'm sorry if I spelled her name wrong earlier. I thought that it was the standard "o-n".

This is Ms. Madisen wishing everybody was as cute as her!

Madison wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Maddie also got a monkey!

She is also very happy with her monkey!

Grace wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Pepper, our dog, also wishing you a Merry Christmas!

 

Anyway, that is a lot of good Christmas wishing for you all! More Christmas fun to come!
