Last night we went to Glendale Glitters. We went out to dinner while we were there. Then the sun went down and we walked around and enjoyed all the lights on the trees.
Took some pictures of Mandy. This girl has the most amazing lips and lashes!
Matt was in his usual clown mode!
Christmas Recap:
Christmas was fun! We hosted at our house this year.
We played bingo for some really cools prizes. There were 10 prizes and you could win more than once and steal prizes from people.
My dad won three times!
Matt loved his Angry Bird PJ's. Those things were hard to find!
Carlton came to visit for the day. We had to lock up the cats. He was scared to death of the cats.
We played a game called Hedbanz (yes, it's spelled that way). It was a fun game and we laughed and laughed!
Danced to Just Dance 3.
And.....we had a fabulous dinner! It was a great day. Came and went too fast.
Looking forward to New Years!!
Dave gave me a Canon Rebel T3 for Christmas. I LOVE it!!!
I didn't use it yesterday. I was too busy hosting Christmas and having fun to concentrate on putting it all together and reading up on how the camera works.
This morning I've been watching videos and reading my manuel. I have the basics down. I can't wait to learn even more about this awesome camera! I was playing around testing and took these two photos. No editing at all.
I love that the can is a sharp picture and everything in the background is a blur.
Pumpkin Pie taking a nap in our office.
Ok off to get ready for the day. Going to my parent's this afternoon for an after dinner Christmas celebration with friends. Be back tomorrow with a Christmas recap.
We were here.......
Goat Rock State Beach - Bodega Bay, CA
Oh how I miss the Northern California Coast. So green, lots of vineyards and just plain gorgeous! We'll be visiting again the last week in September-2012 for Jamie's wedding.
I've been in the mood to scrap again. So yesterday I spent some time making a couple of cards. It was hard to just sit down and create. I wasn't feeling it creatively. So I looked through some of my magazines and my stash of cards I have on hand that I haven't given away. I really need to shop for some new product. Here are the two I made.
Can't wait to make some more cards and even start on some scrapbook layouts!
It's finals week. Robert gets out of school and 10:00 AM on Wednesday and Thursday and then he's off for Christmas break for two weeks. I'm getting excited for Christmas! Everyone is coming to our house on Christmas Day.
Just ONE week left until Christmas! I can't believe it's come so fast! The shopping is done! Except for a few gift cards that I can pick up at the grocery store. Love that they sell gift cards to almost anywhere!
Friday afternoon my mom and I headed to Scottsdale to finish up our shopping. I was starting to feel so much better. Well it was super windy out! I thought I was going to get sick again, but luckily I am fine. This time last year we were in Northern California for Christmas and I was so sick! I am staying out of the stores for the next week or any place with a lot of people. I really want to be sick free for next weekend.
Anyway when I took my mom home Friday night I snapped my POTD for Friday. We had unloaded most of the packages. The back on my dad's truck was packed!
We stopped at the container store for ourselves. I need to go back! Love that store.
Last night Robert had some friends over to watch movies. I started baking cookies. Made 7 dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies. YUM!
Today I am going to attempt to make some cards! I hope I remember how!!
