Sorry girls. I know you look forward to my post everyday (ha!). So here is a summary of my Christmas holiday in a timeline: Oh and sorry for the lack of pics. <br />
<br />
<strong>Thursday 12/23</strong>: Off of work (yeah!). I did some last minute shopping and made <a href="http://simplymadewithlove.blogspot.com/2010/12/chocolate-pretzel-bites.html">these</a> yummy treats to take to my Grandparents house for our Christmas get-together. <br />
<br />
<strong>Friday 12/24:</strong> As soon as the hubs got off work we left for Selma. That afternoon we went to eat Chili at the in-laws best friends house. All of her grandchildren were there so her house was wild. The grandkids had a notepad writing down how many gifts each of them got. <br />
<br />
<strong>Saturday 12/25: </strong>Merry Christmas! I woke up about 7:00 and dashed into the living room at the in-laws like a little kid. We laid around in our PJs for a while and opened our gifts while we smelled the yummy ham cooking. <br />
<br />

Rather than show pics of gifts, here is the just of what I got from the in-laws:<br />
-Shark steam mop, gift cards, PJs, cook book, towels, mixing bowls, baking sheets, fuzzy socks, money, etc. They always give me way too much.<br />

We ate a yummy luch which consisted of ham, potato casserole, corn, green beans, rolls, deviled eggs, and pumpkin cake. We were sent home with a care package full of yummy leftovers as well. <br />
<br />
That afternoon, we left around 3 and headed home to do Christmas at our house. I was a failure and didn't get any pics. <br />
<br />
Gifts: From the hubs: Harry Potter series on DVD, Southern Plate cookbook, books, Wii games, giftcard. From the parents: Giftcard, Bath and Body Works, sweaters, boots.<br />
<br />
That night it started snowing!! We had a white Christmas in Alabama.<br />
<br />
I got a lot of great things this year. It is always such a fun time spending it with family. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06723381336625779149noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756568795701405305.post-38520749546764377332010-12-24T07:19:00.000-08:002010-12-24T07:19:43.609-08:00Merry Christmas EveWe are leaving for the in-laws around lunch time and will be back home doing Christmas at my house tomorrow night.

I tried it and it does work and don't worry the smell will evaporate. Mix vinegar and water in a bowl and try it. And then yesterday.....stupid stupid mistake. I usually eat Easy Mac for lunch. I only get 30 minutes so I pop my Easy Mac in the microwave for 3-1/2 minutes and then plop down in the recliner and watch TV. Yesterday I started to smell something a little funny but didn't get out of the recliner. I was being lazy and reading a magazine. So I just disregarded it. The microwave beeped and I go into the kitchen to see smoke everywhere. Stupid me had forgotten to put water in the Easy Mac. Now I am a profressional Easy Mac cooker and should not have forgotten this vital ingredient but I did. <br />
<br />
So I opened the windows and tried to get the smoke out. I put out a bowl of vinegar (hence another use of vinegar) to get rid of the smell. I lit candles and turned the fans on. Luckily yesterday was a beautiful day so it wasn't cold. I called the hubs and told him what I did and he just laughed. I should have gotten a pic of the black ball of Easy Mac with the little blue melted plastic. I went to said friend's house ater that night(who gave me the vinegar recommendation) and when I got home it was still smelling of smoke. <br />
<br />
Today I have the windows open and it's still smoky. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get rid of the smoke smell? And I will never ever forget to put the water in the Easy Mac again.Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06723381336625779149noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756568795701405305.post-69598221881912753152010-12-15T11:01:00.000-08:002010-12-15T11:01:32.167-08:00What I'm Loving Wednesday<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's Top 2 Tuesday at <a href="http://www.theundomesticmomma.com/">Taylor's</a>. These are my top 2 favorite games:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">{one} Monopoly. Lee despises this game b/c it takes forever. That's what makes it fun to me. He doesn't mind winning though. We always play when we go visit his parents.</div><br />

We went to a Christmas party, stayed up late, and ate good Mexican food. It snowed on the way back and there were apparently snow flurries in Opelika but none when we got back home.

I finally finished last night after only a small number of hot glue burns. <br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
foam wreath (I got mine from Hobby Lobby)<br />
glue gun with plenty of glue sticks<br />
a book that you don't care about ripping up.<br />
<br />
Tear out pages one by one in the book and then roll them up however you would like. Glue the pages around the wreath and flip over. Continue to do layer by layer and then glue the pages as fillers if you see any space. Voila. Merry Christmas!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://blacktagdiaries.blogspot.com/">Julia</a> thank you for this cute idea!<br />

I just had a yummy dinner prepared by the hubs. I worked a little overtime tonight so he voluntarily cooked dinner. We had fried fish, mac n cheese, and mash potatoes. Then we watched a little Friends. I love that show. Anywho it's time for Fill In The Blank Friday with <a href="http://thelittlethingswedo.blogspot.com/2010/12/fill-in-blank-friday.html">Laura.</a><br />

<br />
1. <strong>Holiday spirit </strong><u>makes me happy. I love Christmas time and everything about the Holidays makes me smile. Getting Christmas cards, decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music, etc.</u><br />
<br />
2. <strong>The holidays are incomplete without </strong><u>decorating the tree, buying gifts, family time, good food, and watching A Christmas Story.</u><br />
<br />
3. <strong>My favorite thing to do around the holidays is</strong> <u>attending Christmas parties, Dirty Santa, baking, and crafting.</u><br />
<br />
4. <strong>A holiday tradition my family and I have is </strong><u>opening one present on Christmas Eve, baking cookies for Santa, eating a big breakfast on Christmas morning while still in our jammies and opening presents. </u><br />
<br />
5. <strong>Holiday music</strong> <u>is always played on my radio during this time. I can't wait until the day after Thanksgiving when I can listen to it and jam out in the car.</u><br />
<br />
6. <strong>This year I'll be spending the holidays </strong><u>at Lee's parents Christmas Eve and Christmas morning and with my parents Christmas night.</u><br />
<br />
7. <strong>Holiday wish list: </strong><u>Clothes, books, DVDs, shark steam mop, giftcards, fuzzy socks (I don't have to request these).</u>Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06723381336625779149noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756568795701405305.post-83866190145713658652010-12-02T15:17:00.000-08:002010-12-02T15:17:33.345-08:00Hallelujah<iframe width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SXh7JR9oKVE?fs=1" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />

Of course the morning started off with The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, cinammon rolls, just relaxing, spending time with family, and eating lots of yummy food and I mean lots. Here was the menu: Turkey, turkey and dressing, </span><a href="http://landkbusby1.blogspot.com/2010/11/corn-casserole.html"><span style="font-family: inherit;">corn casserole</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, green beans, potato casserole, rolls, cherry pie, and </span><a href="http://landkbusby1.blogspot.com/2010/11/paula-deens-ooey-gooey-butter-cake.html"><span style="font-family: inherit;">pumpkin butter cake</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. I don't want to brag or anything but everyone loved the cake. I usually am not too good at baking but this was really good. It's already been requested for Christmas. I think I can handle that! We also got our Christmas card pic for Shutterfly. I just placed my order. I hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving!</span><br />
