And here is my Christmas 2009:
{mega photo overload}
First, is the LOVE I felt with my hubby.
:)
We went to my Nanna's house first thing in the morning.
This is me playing in a box with Aiden, my brother's son.
He was sick, but he still had a good time.
This is me and my cousin Emily. We are usually inseperable when we get together. She looks up to me in a big way.
We played in the leaves and took pictures!
James got me this adorable slouchy beanie!
I love it!

AND NOW FOR MY GIFTS TO JAMES!
I made a skateboard with on of my photos on it!
I have been wanting to do this for a long time!
He says its too pretty to use though, he he!
I made his this robot plushie, its suppose to be the robot from the front of The Get Up Kids, Something To Write Home About album. Excellent album, check it out if you havent already! We just saw them in concert for the 10 year anniversary of this album!
I got James a Bullet Cable for his guitar, maybe he will actually play now!

My first completed Style School project went to James, a pocket pillow!
I love how this turned out.

NOW FOR THE BABIES!
We wheeled Nico into the living room for present time!
James is holding his stocking!
he he, so cute!
This is his cage cover I made for him!
Giving Violet her stocking...
She loves her new bunny, she has been playing with it ever since!
Bella opening her present!
I made her this little quilt. She loves to help me every time I make a quilt and she always lays all over them, so I thought she needed her own.
She freakin loves it! She lays on it, and plays with the little ball string I attached to it, she runs and slides under it! It is so cute! It makes me so happy!
James and Violet snuggled on the couch afterwards.
We kept Nico in the livingroom to watch an episode of Criminal Minds with us before bed!
He got to stay up late for christmas!
Then we played scrabble on our NEW DIAMOND EDITION board I got from my cousin Shane!

A FEW GIFTS I MADE FOR OTHERS, I STILL CANT SHOW THEM ALL!
A pocket pillow for my nanna and her new beau!
Ornaments for the girls, I put Broken China charms on them so that my mom would be a part of it!
I embroidered this scarf for my cousin Emily, she is obsessed with Green Day, I think its so cute!

AND IF THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH!
The day after xmas we got this in the mail!
The sweetest card ever from Lexie, from
It so made my day, I was jumping my way out of the post office!
Thanks so much Lex, you are the best!
