broomball

Broomball last night was fun! Although I'm feeling the soreness today. :P

Christmas time

So I guess technically I didn't take this photo, but I tried taking ones of us and they just didn't turn out as well as moms! So I guess self portraits are not my thing. But I tried. :D

Iron man!

My white elephant gift that I found in the clearance section at Walmart! I just had to try it on though. :D

My room

A picture of Shelby entering my messy room. After I took this picture I asked her why she looked so sad, and she replied with "oh, because I'm sad that I have to finish writing my paper."
So there you go.

wall art

A somewhat random photo of the tree on my wall.

Backpack

A close up on my backpack. :D

Christmas tree!

homemade eiffel tower!

We seem to have a travel sort of theme for decor in our basement. Here is my eiffel tower which I made into a jewerly holder. It somehow has survived much including being knocked off the dresser by people including myself numerous times, and being trucked across the country with our moves from MI to WA and then to IA.

Christmas poinsettia

The beautiful Poinsettia plant that someone gave us. :)

Sugar cookies that I helped decorate today! This week seems to be cookies week! :) The snow man took an especially long time to make. :D

Snow!

A picture from the sliding door of the snow in the backyard.

Shelby is excited to watch Merlin.

One of my favorite tree ornaments! :) This was supposed to be for yesterday but for some unknown and mysterious reason our internet connection wasn't working.

Snowball

Snowball cookie!

Christmas treats

Today began the making of mom's annual Christmas cookies, starting with her "snowball" or also known as "russian tea cake" cookies. They are some of my favorite cookies and are especially tasty when they are eaten fresh out of the oven.
