Christmas Challenge: Day 19

Day 19: Whose gift was the hardest to buy this year?

Well, see we're kind of broke. So no Christmas presents this year! Oh yay!
But if we had bought presents the two hardest are Josh & Master.
I never know what to get them.

On the other hand... I could buy presents for my Mom & Chace all day long :)
I know them so well!

Christmas Challenge: Day 4

Day 4: What 3 things come to mind when you think Christmas.

This one is hard because there are so many memories and warm fuzzy feelings that surround Christmas for me.

So here are 3 of them

1) Trimming the tree ... I loved spending time with my parents & sister while putting up the tree. For as long as I remember it was a white tree with gorgeous blue and silver lights, bulbs, ribbon, and tinsel. Plus my one red bulb that said my name & '94 on it. It always had to be on the tree, but dad relegated it to the back because it ruined the vibe of the tree! lol 

2) Fires & hot chocolate ... the house I grew up in has a fireplace and my parents make use of it every winter. I adore sitting in front of a fire and drinking hot chocolate. A very favorite memory that brings back those warm fuzzy feelings of being loved and being happy.

3) Absolute crazy family times! ... this is a memory that goes along with every holiday and most other random weekends. The time and place we get together changes every Christmas, but one thing stays constant: my family is fun, rambunctious, loving, joking, and chaotic. I can't begin to describe how happy I get just thinking about the times we've had together. I adored growing up with 3 siblings, and I would love to have several kids of my own so they can have the same happy and chaotic childhood I did.

Project 365: Week 6: Days 35-41

So this week was nothing big. Just hanging out. ... Josh started his new job & I cleaned the house. & thus these pictures are not that exciting, but here they are nonetheless!

Days 35-41: July 5-11, 2010

Day 35

Two pictures for today. This was how hot the bank said it was coming back home from my parents' house.

This is how hot it really was. Think the bank has a problem?

If you can't read it ... the bank says it was 127*!! ... can you read this?

Day 36

  Aria loves to lounge & I love to find her in cute positions! ♥

Day 37

Wearing my BM shirt from H&C's wedding :)

Funny story - first time I wore this it was with another BM & it was the night before the wedding. We both had them on. The cashier at the store was all "Oh you guys are in a wedding tomorrow?" 

"Um ... yeah"

Day 38

Reading! with Aria!! 

Also? Babysat T this day. So that all adds up to - Perfection!

Bisous, Kiki

& now she's old

My little sister... she's moved out of my parents' house & is out on her own now.
It's weird. But it'll be oh so much fun to have her closer to me!!!

Mom & I met up at Chace's new apt today. It's so perfect for her & she just needs a few more dishes to get a kitchen's worth of dishes!

But we had fun hanging out! It makes me kind of nostalgic for when I moved out. That first little bit was HARD. Ok who am I kidding? I still sometimes get teary-eyed leaving M&D's. It was, still is, & always will be home. 

Anyway... before it gets too deep --- CONGRATS!! on the new life change my Big Little Sister. I love you! 
Call if you need anything ;) ... I may or may not be able to offer a hot meal.  

Scenes from today:

 On our way!

 The following are my Mom & Sister... totally average day -

Um you should not have mouthed off sister dear! ;)

In Trouble - she's scared!

Trying to make it all better!

Nope doesn't work!

All the while... Aria?

On the way home

Don't worry! We were stopped.

Also --- HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!!! Love you :)

Bisous, Kiki

My Little Sister is Old

Chace enrolled in college this last week.

Here comes the cliché "I can't believe she's GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL AND GOING TO COLLEGE!!!" rant. But it's true. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

Congratulations Big Little Sister. I'm so proud of you. You have accomplished a lot, and you will accomplish a whole lot more.

I love you.

I miss you. ..... But soon you'll be close to me and we'll hang out every.single.weekend. K? Ok.
