Christmas.

So, Christmas was a blast this year as always. I get so excited about decorating. And, I love to shop for people's gifts. We didn't have work on Christmas Eve, or the day after Christmas. It was no nice to be able to relax. It really flew by. For mine and Tyler's first Christmas, we stayed at his parents house. It was pretty fun. We slept in, got up and opened presents with his whole family, had breakfast and then went to my parents house.

Oh, here is our Christmas Tree at our apartment. It looks pretty barren, but it is covered with Tyler's Hallmark Ornaments. He gets some every year for Christmas. And I got some this year too! It was pretty exciting.

Here are some of the Hallmark Ornaments on our tree.

Yoda

Popeye

The Grinch

Harry Potter

Cooking Supplies

A Lighthouse

A Church

A car. Tyler has a million cars from when he was a kid.

We have some other really cool ones. This year, I got Raggedy Ann and Andy, and a toaster.
We also have Bilbo Baggins, Steve Young, and some other really cool things.

Who couldn't love Hallmark?
I Plan on collecting the Nostalgic houses, and making a tree just out of the houses.


Oh, and here is my snow village. I love it. It's my favorite
Christmas decoration.


Oh, now this is cool, Not only do they have a Christmas Village, you can do a
Spooky Town.

Which is my next project.

Cupcake in a Jar

So... Here is what I made for friends and co-workers for a Christmas treat.

Cupcake in a Jar
Vanilla Cake
White Buttercream Frosting
Chocolate Cake
Cream Cheese Frosting


And some Christmas tree sprinkles.
You Just eat it with a spoon right out of the Jar.



Delicious.

Birthday... December 22

Happy Birthday Ronda!!!

And for her birthday, Vanilla cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache and vanilla cream filling.

Jessica came home from Hawaii.
Ronda helped me jump my car while pouring snow.
And- I didn't have to work.


So I guess you can say it was a pretty eventful day.

The Big 25

Happy Birthday to the awesome H-Law.
25- but acts 17.

Oh, and Red Velvet cupcakes for Hailie's birthday, that were actually a weird green color.

Griswold Family Christmas

For our Christmas tree Tyler and I went up Spring City Canyon and cut down our own Christmas tree with my family. It was pretty intense. Except It's kind of a naked tree. It was really fun.
Here is my brother. He found a tree that looked good, so he cut it down and it was completely
barren on the other side. And dead. It was awesome. Tyler kept hiking higher and higher and higher. But he found us a tree. It's kinda of naked... but it's cool. It cost us a whopping 5 dollars. It was just like the Griswolds. We even watched Christmas Vacation a few days before this great adventure. Except my Dad did remember the saw, and we didn't get stuck under a semi. Oh, and- we almost had to tie the tree to the top of Tyler's car, but my brother took it in his truck and dropped in off on he and Laura's way home. They put it right in front of our door. We definitely couldn't have missed it. Tyler's mom Ronda gave us an awesome Christmas village, Nativity seen and decorations for our tree. I am not really prepared for Christmas. I have absolutely no gifts bought yet. OH- and, I got my car fixed because the water pump went out. It cost
a fortune. Definitely not what I wanted for Christmas. At least it's fixed.

Here is the Christmas tree Tyler found. Trust me, It looks a lot better covered with snow. It isn't as full as it looks.
