Day Three Hundred & Fifty-One. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Fifty-One. - Perfect Pair. - We recieved this card, a bit late, from Mr. V's Dad and Step-Mother. I had not expected a card since we did not get one last year and I am even more surprised that the card is absolutely adorable. Great Son. Sweet "daughter". Perfect Pair. .

Day Three Hundred & Forty-Nine. - My Christmas Gift. - Mr. V finally assembled my Christmas Gift which is obviously a vanity chair. When building our home I made a special point to have them put in a place where I could have a vanity and sit and do my make-up and hair. I've always thought of them as fancy and just had to have one so I'm really excited about this. Now I'll actually have a place to sit instead of on the counter or on the bathroom floor. Thanks hubby, your so thoughtful.♥

Day Three Hundred & Forty-Six. - Merry Christmas! - While waiting on our porkchops to finish cooking we had some dessert since everyone was really hungry and tired of waiting. This Christmas Cupcakes were so delicious and such a cute idea. My Mom put these little plastic green and red rings ontop of them for decoration. We had a really great time at my parents sitting around watching television and playing with the kittens outside. The best part was when my Dad tried to sing karaoke Christmas Songs.

Day Three Hundred & Forty-Five. - Ready to Bake! - I ended up getting out of work early, at five instead of six, on Christmas Eve and rushed home to prepare my pies before Mr. V left work at six. After mixing all my ingredients together for the pie I stuck it in the oven to bake. I ended up using a pre-made graham cracker crust because that's usually what my mother-in-law uses to make with hers. I really hope that it comes out as tasty as it smells!

Day Three Hundred & Forty-One. - Pumpkin Pie Ingredients. - My Mom asked me to bring a few pies for our Christmas Meal and I decided to make a Pumpkin Pie and a Cheescake. I purchased the ingredients for the pie and decide to make it the day before, we planned to Celebrate together on Christmas Day, and I really hope it turns out as yummy as everyone says it will!

Day Three Hundred & Forty-Three. - Giving Gifts. - This year I was more excited about giving gifts then actually receiving them. But of course I had to wait until the last minute and did not actually buy any of the gifts I had planned on. I wanted to buy a lot of unique, hand made, gifts but that did not happen. You see my paycheck just happened to land on the 19th, four days before Christmas, so there was no way anything that I ordered online would make it on time unless I spent a lot on the quicker shipping. Money was also an issue this Christmas and I did not have a lot to spend so each person I bought for got only one gift. I suppose it's the thought that counts, right?

Day Three Hundred & Forty-Two. - Wrapping Gifts. - I finally decided to get out all of last years gift bags and wrapping paper and start wrapping gifts. Did I actually get anything accomplished? No. Guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.

Day Three Hundred & Thirty-Nine. - Project 365.

Day Three Hundred & Thirty-Nine. - Christmas Cards. - I love getting mail that isn't bills or junk mail so when I saw these four envelopes I got pretty excited. I also love getting Christmas Cards and these are the first ones we have received this Holiday.

Day Three Hundred & Thirty-Three. - Our Christmas Tree. - My parents lent us this tree last year while we were still on our apartment and while it did fine then I was really hoping to get a real tree that was a bit larger then this one. After putting it off and realizing that the real tree idea wasn't going to happen I decided we should put up our old tree so it would feel a bit more like Christmas to me. Don't get me wrong I think this tree is adorable and our ornaments are lovely but it looks too small in our new home. Eh, such is life and hopefully next year we will be able to purchase a real tree!
