Present Parade

December 30, 2011

My favorite gifts:
Photoshop Elements 10
Baking supplies
CASH!
Tons of gift cards
Lots of shoes
Sew box filled with supplies
Mary Poppins!
Super fun stocking stuffers :)
A place setting of Fiesta AND
some Stella & Dot goodies!

Here are just some of my stash


Jonathan's best gifts:
Jonathan had a super preppy Christmas.  I gave him a Columbia jacket, Sperry's, a canvas duffle bag, an oxford, two t-shirts.  He loved it all though and looks super cute in his new attire.

He also got some Polos and a ton of boy gun stuff...whatev.

Georgie's main gifts:
I made her a bean bag!  It's so cute if I do say so myself.  She loves it.

J's parents gave her a Fisher price play table.

My mom and step dad gave her a pink John Deere wagon and some college fund money!

She got a lot of clothes, PJ's, plastic plates, stuffed animals, and dolls.  She got a few V-Tech things and some other fun things.



We had a lot of fun!

Christmas Wrap Up

December 29, 2011

Here are a few of our Christmas traditions / activities.

We always make a ginger bread house


I always get a photo ornament for our family photo.  This is our fourth Christmas so it's our fourth ornament so it's really fun to look at how our family has changed over the years.


We also do a travel ornament from our vacation each year.  Well, I forgot to get one this year so I just bought another photo ornament to take it's place.  But, I ended up really liking it because it was G's first vaca!


I also had Georgia "make" an ornament.  I gave my mom the hand.  (Actually, I gave her 2 because she lost the first one...haha!)  I kept the foot.  I made a foot for me because making a hand print of a 7 month old is REALLY hard!



I made Georgia her first ornament although I do not plan on making her one every year.  I'll either be buying or making.  I'm open to both options...just depends on what I want that year.  This is what Georgia did with her ornament every chance she got.


She also has her own tree.  It's pink so all the ornaments are pink.  My mom bought her 4 ornaments this year so at this rate she'll need a bigger tree by next year.  She got 2 pink truffles, a pink star fish from Galveston, and a pink mini Christmas tree.  We will continue to collect pink ornaments for her.





J's Gift

December 28, 2011

I told Jonathan his Christmas gift from Georgia would be a little late this year because I needed one of my Christmas gifts (Photoshop...which I knew I was getting) to make it.

I used the tutorial on YHL and got to work (took me way too long!).  Here is the finished product.  The candid pictures that I took correspond with the month they are in.  The professional pictures do not.  I wanted a mix.  I'm thinking of making one for at home too because the one I made is for J at work.














Our Christmas Morning

December 26, 2011

{Linking up HERE}

This is our 4th married Christmas but our first as parents.  We were so excited for Georgia and honestly forgot we even had gifts for ourselves.  I did video the whole morning but I'm guessing it is far too boring for anyone else to watch.

Here is our morning in pictures!

Wagon from Nana and Pawpaw



Took the lights off the tree


...and decided to crawl into a box


a dab of cool whip with her puffs...because it's Christmas!  Duh!


First Christmas as a family of THREE!



Kisses!


Smores.  Yum :)


Lost in all of her gifts!


She was a VERY good girl this year ;)


I'll post more about me and Jonathan's gifts when I can find the time.

Merry Christmas.

I hope yours was as blessed as my family's!
