Day After Christmas Specials

We braved a snow storm to trek into town to hit up the Target (sorry if you're confused by the ikea bag...it's a good size to toss the ornaments into while gluing on the tops). Unloop a coat hanger, carefully string the large and medium balls. As you go, fill in wholes by hot gluing the small balls into the spaces. I used 1 box of 40 large balls, 1 tube of 10 medium balls (the stripey ones) and one box of 25 small balls....again, ALL are plastic! I ended up paying $16 for all of them.

My mom got the blue and silver ones. She used one box of 40 and a swag that had 3 different sizes.

I'm really liking these wreaths! I'll take a picture once I hang it on my built in hutch. (after I find a bright pink ribbon or something)

Recaped

Here's a quick recap of Christmas (I totally forgot to snap some pictures Christmas morning..or at Jim's parents'...but I finally had the brains to pull out the phone at my parents' house)

Jamie got this awesome hat from my sister with the Navy Seal logo...I'm not sure he's taken it off since that night!Corey got a Sonic the Hedgehog hat..it's fleece and super cute! (he also got a ton of Buzz Lightyear stuff..notice the arm things...and wings that have been knocking over everything in his path!)
Bumblebee was Riley's big hit this year...lots of transformers and this costume..again, I don't think it's come off since Christmas!
Here's just a glimpse of the madness..and this was only one house!!!
Looks like a Christmas tornado hit my mom's basement!!!!!
Crystal actually pays attention to me when I talk about blog land!!!!

Love how this cookbook ends! Perfect!

Hope that you're well rested and recovered from all the festivities!

We Bring You Good News of Great Joy!

On this day we celebrate the birth of a child, the Son of God. A beacon of hope sent down to this dark world. Because of him the veil was torn, the gap was bridged.

O come O come Emmanuel!

Merry Christmas~~~may the full blessing of God rest upon you this coming year!
