Christmas and the like

We had a wonderful christmas. Pretty much spent the entire weekend with family. I think we only went home to sleep for most of it. We opened our presents as a family on christmas eve and went over christmas morning so Jonah could help the kids open their presents.




Got this Frog from my parents. He loves giving his stuffed animals kisses.


Ball pit from Grandma & Grandpa (dad's side). Sharing it with Rocky. We had to put it away once all the kids wanted to climb in and Jonah threw a tantrum. It wasn't charming. But atleast we know he likes it.


Beka and Nathan came to visit and Jonah loves his little cousin Issac.


This is what happens when I go to sleep with wet hair.


Looks like he's camwhoring with the position of his arm and his expression. So cute!

With the New Year here, I have no resolutions. I'm just taking it easy, just in general trying to eat healthier and exercise better. Trying to take better care of myself.

2 more done

And only one more to go! There's a lot of pressure to do REALLY well on my last outfit. It would be funny just to pile everything on, but that's not really possible. Maybe I should just try for as many as I possibly can. Go out with a bang. I'm excited to get to the rest of the clothes in my closet. Like I said the other day, just really keep track of what I'm wearing from now on. Try and dress it up a little. Even if I'm just wearing t-shirts and jeans. Which is honestly my favorite style as it is. Ellen Page is my style icon. Simple, tomboyish, adorable. My kind of gal.



Anyway. Here's what I've worn the last 2 days.
Day 28:Sunday, December 12th, 2010


Cardigan: Wet Seal 2009; Top: Target 2010; Pants: ON 2010; Socks: Gap 2006; Shoes: ON 2005. I stayed home from church yesterday because Jonah was sick, so no skirts. Too bad.

Day 29:Monday, December 13th, 2010

Top: Thrifted 2010; Sweater: Hand me down; Belt: ON 2010; Pants: ON 2010; Shoes: Target 2008; Earrings: Gift
Today's outfit isn't really my style, but I'm just trying to get done. Right now I'm not super worried about it. Derek and I went a little crazy today while out looking for gifts and such. We bought another Wii controller at Costco, came with a nunchuk and the built in motion plus for only $50. That's $10 less if you were to buy them separately. Went to Savers and Big Lots looking for movies and books for other people, but just came home with stuff for ourselves. Whoops. But it's good stuff.


Left to Right: Brick ($5); 3 Ninjas Kick Back ($3 for Derek's threadless secret santa); Shopgirl ($3. I've been trying to get my hands on this from the library, but haven't been able to yet. Guess I won't have to anymore); Buenas Noches Luna ($0.69-for Jonah); Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close ($3); Everything is Illuminated ($3. Wish we had been able to find the movie too) Merry Christmas to us! We're not very good at buying things separately and surprising each other later. But I bought something Derek doesn't even know about yet. So ha.

Fun weekend (#16)

Day 16: Sunday November 28th, 2010

Top: F21 2010; Skirt: Purple layered, J Crew 2010 (bought at Downeast Outfitters for $20); Shoes: Target 2008

This picture makes my leg look stumpy from the skirt. But it only actually goes down to my calves. Really tea length skirt. It really is a flattering skirt. But it is the best picture we got from the day.

Merry Christmas to us!

We've been contemplating getting one for a while. Thinking we would get one as our christmas present to each other. And we wandered around Best Buy friday morning and saw that it was going for $170 we couldn't get it out of our minds. So saturday night we went on a whim and bought it. And Derek loves Mario, so we went for the red one. Jonah likes to play with the nunchuk and it makes him feel like he's playing along too.
