A Very Late Christmas Post.

I know, I know.  It’s been forever since I blogged.

I managed to lose my camera cable the day before Christmas.  The day before Christmas, I tell you.  Is that not horrendous timing to lose a camera cable? 

I found it a couple days ago… correction… Mike found it a couple days ago… in the bag he told me to look in when I first lost it... the bag I declined to look in because “I didn’t take it there, so I know it’s not in there.  The last place I saw it was on the stereo.” 


Next time I’ll listen. 

Maybe…

Anyhoo, we had an amazing Christmas and I hope you did, too :)

Christmas kind of snuck up on us this year, but Mike and I were both pretty excited – we set our alarms for 7.00, but were both awake by 6.30, haha!  We had a busy day travelling back and forth between our families, exchanging presents and eating a LOT of food…

Those homemade presents that I promised to share with you are only a month late… or should I say, 11 months early?  But they've arrived none the less.

Moustache mugs…

I seriously love these.  They make great family photos, too – as modelled by my in-laws :)

A painting for my sister, Rach.

I forgot to get pictures of the baking jars I made for my sister, but I did remember to snap the date jar I made for my hubby…

A framed cross stitch for my friend Neva. I might just have to make myself one, too. 

And how cute is the sewing kit that Neva made me?!

And just like that, Christmas is over for another year.  I've been in denial the past couple weeks, but yesterday, I sucked it up and took the decorations off our (somewhat crispy) Christmas tree…   The mantel decorations have come down… and the last few Christmas-remnants around the house will be put away tonight.  Sniff.

Christmas has left the building, people. 

But 2012 is here and it’s shapin’ up to be a good one.

...And there are only 343 sleeps 'til Christmas....
