What an adventure this last month has been...I think I have a little bit of an after christmas depression mixed with bring on the new year Im ready mood going on right now. Its kinda weird to explain I finished all my christmas projects and now Im at a loss of what I should do next...I need a new project. (Stay tuned Ill find one) Anyway we have been busy this last while...here is what we have been up to....
We cleaned out our entire apartment and freed up a lot of space. I was amazed how much stuff we have been carrying around that is pretty much garbage. I get attached to the stupidest things like this cup...This was originally my room mate Rachael's cup, but it melted in the dishwasher and she was going to get rid of it but I snatched it up just in time I loved the pour spout:) being the geek that I am, anyway I used it like that for about a year and it was a huge joke between her and I and then a sad day came when it came out of the dishwasher and it was cracked and it could hold liquid no more, so Rachael says YOU HAVE TO THROW THAT AWAY! and I said NO WAY! I can use it for my sunflower seed shells it will be perfect and I have been do that ever since until now...I finally had to say good-bye. Moral of the story it was junk and I should have thrown it away years ago. I do love my newly clean and organized apartment.
We had a great christmas we spent a week in Wallace, ID with my family at a house that we rented and then we went and spent a week at the Allen's so relaxing and full of fun! Kloee had fun opening presents. It was fun to watch her, she really could care less what she got she just wanted the wrapping paper.
This was the first time (that I remember) actually going and cutting down our own tree. It made for a very memorable christmas. We made ornaments for it. My mom helped all the kids string popcorn for it and my dad helped them make a cute chain it turn out soo cute!
Okay a little bit of bragging now. I made almost all my gifts that I gave this year it was so fun and very rewarding I made this Barbie furniture for my niece Rhenley....
...and I made all of these stuffed animals for my nieces and nephews (21 in all) it was a blast. I also made some holiday blocks for all my sisters and sister in laws which I didn't ever take a picture of but were a lot of fun to make.
We are excited to get going on this next year (we are having a lazy start) and make a lot more memories.
So I wanted to take a bath the other day and Darren started it for me, when I went to get it this is what I saw, which really we have been living here in Moscow for over a year so I shouldn't be surprised, but I still am the water here is SOOOOO BROWN yuck!
