Christmas Spirit...or should I say Spirits!

I had every intention of updating my blog throughout the Christmas festivities but as you can see...that went down the drain. I've just had soooo much going on! So, let's get up to date.....

It was CHRISTMAS COOKIE TIME a few weeks ago!! I went to my mom's after work & we decided to bust out our baking skills! Anna, Ruzz, mom, & I made all sorts of different shaped cookies! We had a Christmas dinosaur & a Christmas crocodile...Hey! They need Christmas too!! ;) We always like to throw in a couple "off beat" shapes w/ the usual ones! We also had some naughty shaped cookies! Get your mind out of the gutter!! It's a different kind of naughty!! I decided to cut out a design for Jerod since his birthday was coming up. It was a weed leaf!! (Hee hee!) He likes that sort of thing! Personally, I think I did a damn fine job!! It's hard to cut a design out of dough!

(Darwin watched the chaos!)

(One sign of a good baker is a BIG mess!)

(He liked his cookie!)

(Do you like my mom sweatshirt??)

I went Christmas shopping w/ Anna the next day, Fri afternoon. I got most of my presents bought! (Christmas shopping stresses me out!!) That night I went to a Surprise Party at Steph's. (It's like a Passion's Party.) I told myself that I wasn't going to buy anything...oops. Bridge came up from Springville so I got to see her along w/ some old friends from high school! Steph, Bridge, Summer, & I decided to go out after the party. We headed to Casey's where Alyssa met up w/ us. It was good times!

That Sat we all went over to Diane's for our Christmas Movie/Chili Day! (Well, almost all of us. Brandon had to work during the day & then he had his work Christmas party that night so he couldn't make it.) We started the afternoon by making cute little reindeer cookies & pretzels covered in almond bark! (Yummy!) We also started off w/ some shots... We ended up doing more drinking then watching movies!! We watched the beginning of A Christmas Story & that was about it! The rest of the night consisted of a lot of Duck Fart shots, other alcoholic beverages, N64, Wii, drinking games, & dancing! Things got pretty crazy!! We had to make a trip to HyVee to get some more to drink...like we needed it...& Anna & Alyssa decided to do cartwheels. Now, Anna sucks at them when she is sober so you can only imagine how she is at them when she is under the influence... Needless to say she ended up w/ a wet butt & people laughing at her!! It was one hell of a night even if dad may or may not have passed out on the garage stairs..... ;)
