Well... it's back to the black and yellow template for me. No more Christmas colors =o( That's the one thing I don't like about Christmas. The day after Christmas you stop listening to Christmas music and have to put all the decorations away...but I guess it can't go on forever. =o(Anyways now I have to think up a new poll.....At least I still have like a week off of school left! That's cool. I'm excited about our New Years Eve party. I hope everyone gets to come!
There will be lots of yummy food there =o)
We watched Star Wars(the really good old ones)last night. It was still just as good as the first time I watched it. Although I don't even remember the first time I watched it cause I've seen it a billion times, so maybe I should just say it was as good as the last time I watched it =o) It's just so fun to watch. Brings back lots of memories!
Well I guess that's all for now..............

Pics! =o)

These first pics are from Christmas Eve. Mike and Kassandra came over and we had Cob salad for dinner(yum). And then came presents! I'm sure Mike and Kassandra got a little bored sitting there watching us open present after present, but hopefully they didn't get too bored =o) I was VERY spoiled. Jo ended up having my name. I was pretty sure she had me all along, but I didn't really know for sure until Christmas Eve =o) Anyways she got me a bunch of really cool stuff! Jordan got all they guys these guns that shoot bbs. They are really cool cause they look like the real thing. So they had a little war at the old house and there were bbs flying everywhere! =o)

Anyways here are some pics..........

The tree and presents!








Tobi got me these slippers. They are REALLY comfy and warm! =o)




Jock got a vest, hat, and a gun! He was spoiled too =o)


Opening playmobil!

Playing with the guns! Jo made me that hat I'm wearing. I love it! And Jordan got me the shirt I'm wearing. I love it too =o)


These pics are from Christmas day. Christmas morning we got our presents from mom and dad. I got cute pink towels, a cute pink vest and a really pretty sewing basket.
We had a fancy dinner Christmas night.

Aimee made these Strawberry tart things....

Jo made this really yummy pizza....

And I made this tomato basil french bread stuff......

Everything was really good!


So now we're just enjoying some break time and eating lots of Christmas goodies! I hope your Christmas was fun too =o)

Ahhhh warmth........=o)

So most of you know this, but for those of you who don't live in Alaska..... it's FREEZING up here right now!!! So a warm fire is VERY nice....

Isn't the tree stuffed with candy cute? It looks like it's about to pop! =o)

Caleb graduated last night. My mom is gonna post pics on our blog sometime soon. Mom was taking a bunch of pics of us, so I grabbed the camera and took a funny pic of her with her mouth full of food, but she wouldn't like it very much if I put it on here so I not gonna even though it was really funny =o) The graduation was at Pikes, and there was like a buffet dinner and dessert and stuff. I thought the food was really yummy. If I had time I would tell you every detail of it and you would laugh! We laughed a lot, and if you want to know why you'll just have to ask one of us sometime =o) It was a lot of fun though.......

I have about four days left to get all my Christmas stuff done! I made the kiss cookies tonight. It always takes such a long time to make that many cookies! So it's nice to be done! =o)

Well I better go for now.......try to stay warm ;o)

~Krista~

Here are some pics from out recital. All the kids played really well =o)

All us students got Bekah an american girl doll grand piano. It's really cute and actually plays!

Cadence and Tarissa were the ones who really wanted to be up there. They had there own little recital after ours... They're pretty cute huh!? ;o)

Bekah, Aimee, Jock and I decorated the church last night for the recital. It turned out really pretty! Then we came home and watched a Cary Grant. It was one of the really funny ones! It had us all laughing really hard =D I just love that kind of a funny movie!
Anyways tonight's gonna be really fun! Bekah was going to put me last, but she decided to be nice and put me second to last...uh! =o) oh well.....I'm sure it will be just fine....well I'm gonna go make some cookies for tonight.
Ta ta for now ;o)

yippy for school holidays! =o)

I get to take the week of Christmas and the week after that off school so I decided to double up on school so I could take the week before Christmas off too! And I'm almost done!! I wanted to be able to take next week off to bake and stuff. I'm excited!
This Friday is the recital. It's gonna be really fun! Instead of a tea party we're having a hot chocolate party(With coffee of course (o;)..... I'm not really nervous... I know that I have my songs down, but I still get a little worried that I'm gonna get up there and completely forget my first notes or somth'in. But whatever happens is gonna happen and at least I'll know that I could play the song at one point even if I mess it up at the recital. So once I get all my school done this week and the recital out of the way... next week will be freedom!! =o)
It a good thing I'm gonna have some time to do things too cause I still have like four Christmas present projects I need to get done for certain people and some of them are gonna take a while.
I STILL don't know who has me! But I have it narrowed down to three people ;o) Some people are SO secretive. oh well... I guess it won't kill me to wait till Christmas =o)

Do you have anything you especially like about this time of year?

So I wanna know something you really like about this time of year. I mean like a favorite Christmasy movie or book or favorite thing to bake or just about anything to do with this time of year.

One of mine would probably be the Dr. Suess book "How the Grinch stole Christmas". It's SO cute! I'm also hav'in a lot of fun making Christmas goodies =o)

So please let me know if there's any little something you like in particular about this time of year! I'm sure you have something....

I'm stealing my worst enemies(AKA my sweet little sister Aimee(O;) idea and putting a pic of my stocking on here. It has dancing cows on it! Is not it cute?

They look very Excited about Christmas don't they? =D

maybe this will help the friday tears ;o)

You wouldn't think an onion chopper would be this exciting but for me it is! This is sort of an early Christmas present. Mom told Jo to get it for me and I told Jo to get it for mom all in the same day! So mom just decided to give it to me early. Our old one just broke a while ago and it wasn't very good. But this one is really cool cause the onions go down into the bottom and don't pop all over the place out the top. So I'm thinking if they aren't popping in my face they won't make me cry so much! At least that's what I'm hoping for. I guess I'll find out this Friday! I'm super excited to try it... I mean It was seen on TV and it is Lime green so it HAS to be a good one right?? Well I thought It was cool so I just thought I'd show you guys! =o) Thanks mom!
