The start of the Holidays

Yesterday, December 5, Kirky and I had the real start of our Christmas holiday. We slept in until around 7:30. (When you wake up at 4:30am every day of the week it's hard to stay in bed even on a Saturday.) I stayed in my jams until 1pm when I decided that was just a little too lazy. To my credit however, I wasn't completely unproductive during this lounge-fest. I made this little gem.

Cute huh?

While I was playing Martha Stewart Kirky was diligently studying and preparing for his finals next week. In the afternoon I went to the mall with my Mom to do a little shopping. I didn't buy anything but my Mom got Christmas dresses for Janie and Yi-ya (my nieces). They're adorably nauseating. Next Mark and Melissa were having a little Christmas party at their house. We ate potato cheese soup and decorated sugar cookies. It was so fun.

The before ( I decided to take a before picture after I got started but it's cool.) And here's my after. They're super delicious too. Mark has a brilliant idea to stack snowflake cookies to make a christmas tree. Here are all the decorating fools. =)

Then the kiddies sang us a song they made up. The 12 days of Gym. It was super cute and very creative. The first day of Gym the gym teacher gave them a baseball bat. Now if you'll think back to the original 12 days of Christmas the first day gift of a partridge in a pear tree has quite a few more syllables than a baseball bat. But don't worry, add a few syllables in baseball bat and you're golden.

The star of the night and most shocking show of hidden talent was my man Kirk. He made his own snowflake christmas tree.

And here's the finished product.

That isn't lava coming from the top of the tree. Apparently they're streamers or more commonly known, tinsel. Good job Kirky.
