“Wendy Mills posed as Mary in a blonde wig and high-heeled black boots and holding a plastic doll. Another man played Joseph in black leather trunks and a silver shawl.”
Just another reason I want to got to Amsterdam.

Awww. Who knew football players were so…I don’t know, human. THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE AND CREEP ME OUT.
WTF from a girl who grew up there. Seriously? WACO?
This may only make sense to locals. Also, who knew you got such good presents from the state? It makes me sad that this happens every year.

I would be so pissed. “The sheriff said most of the bad guys and girls got a good laugh at the clever bust, too.” Um, sure they did.
Then you’ll get a kick out of this article. Personally, I like the Santa’s expressions best.

This is what I wore to give holiday cupcakes to my co-workers:
- Red wool sleeveless dress, thrifted
- Black leggings, Target
- Black long sleeved t-shirt, Target
- Black slouchy leather boots, no label, thrifted
- Green jade bead necklace, bought from a Taiwanese lady in Cleburne, TX
Bonus: I think my elbows are getting less awkward! Yay!

While I was busy baking some fabulous holiday cupcakes, Nathan was exhibiting some mad present wrapping skillz. And I took a few moments from my place as a woman in the kitchen and got a few kisses from Sophie.

Today was awesome. We stayed in most of the day, listened to Mannheim Steamroller Pandora, wrapped presents, baked holiday cupcakes for our co-workers, got frisky, loved on Sophie and had family cuddle time. Pretty sappy. I loved every minute of it.
The baking part was great. I could bake all day, but generally am stopped after a few hours because of a lack of clean dishes. Because I don’t do dishes. It makes my hands dry up and besides I have a water phobia.
I present to you not the smallest kitchen ever, but definitely bordering on midget friendly:

Counter space #1 Counter Space #2

That is all. Fortunately, we also have a table, which is where I did the best part:
Sprinkletastic!


Photographic evidence that these pretty things tasted like quality:

Hopefully the swell people I work with will have similar looks on their faces tomorrow!

Last night we went to Sundance Square for a little seasonal celebration with Nathan’s brother Austin, Austin’s wife, Magen, and a few of their friends. We ate at America’s favorite chain restaurant which not surprisingly was lacking in vegetarian options.

Then we went to the square, which was not as pretty as I was expecting it to be, which may or may not have been influenced by the fact that I was very sick.

Awww

Pretty!

Nathan and Austin

Then we went to the Saucer. I did not drink but I tried very hard a little to be sociable.

Then we went home and I cried a bit because I was sick and disapointed at how the bash had fizzled and then passed out from exhaustion.
