SNOW!

We got some snow...this is GA, so it wasn't that much! But, there was icing, so I got a nice little snow day on Friday. It was tres awesome!

Birthday Shoes

Hope Mom's not too upset...the shoes my parents sent me for my birthday didn't fit, so I took them back to Macy's where surprise, surprise...they don't stock heels made to go to work in snow. So, shoes became Coach wristlet to carry my new camera in! Helpful and stylish!

The new camera is courtesy of Tim and Debbi who gave my some money for my birthday. (That's how I'm taking all these pictures for my blog!) My old camera is el broke-o. Found that out when we tried to take pics at Pure with Christian and Christie at Thanksgiving. Boo! :(

But, now I have a new camera and an awesome camera carrying case, so all is good!

My New Hobby

So, I cleaned the office and the guest room closet during my break. Woohoo! But, I realized that I have a ton of pictures from college that have no home, especially sorority pictures. So, I am making a sorority scrapbook. I hoofed it all the way to Barrett Parkway to go to Hobby Lobby (they moved! Hobby Lobby used to be, like 5 min. from our house! ugh!) and buy scrapbooking supplies (50% off!). Then, I organized all my stuff in chronological order and began work on my Pi Beta Phi scrapbook! Here's what I've done so far...

Christie (scrapbooking expert) should tell me whether I suck or not. :)

Other Christmas Decorations!

Here's Santa in the corner of the kitchen.

This is my ridiculous tree collection.

And this is the newest addition to the ridiculous tree collection. (And Texas.)

Inside Decorations

Here's the tree!

Here's the back of the large IKEA shelf.

And here's the mantel.

Our Pretty Little Lit Up House

Christmas Presents! Part VII

Yesterday, Christian, Christie, Addie and Lexi came to visit us and we celebrated Christmas/Birthday by opening gifts, going out to eat at the Kani House and playing Uno. Christian and Christie are expert gift givers who managed to hit my 3 of my 4 loves in their two gifts to me: books, jewelry and purses. Anyone want to guess my 4th love? (Shaun is not included in this list.) :)

They also got Shaun this book, which we are both pumped to read, and a Wii game.

Also, Christian terrorized poor little Minerva-kins.

Though, knowing Minerva, she was probably purring the entire time.
