Christmas Challenge: Day 25

Day 25: It’s Christmas! What were some of the things you received this year?

I don't like focusing on what I got. So instead I'm doing "What was your favorite part of this Christmas?"

& go with spending it with my love, my family, & my Aria.
It was an amazing day. Couldn't ask for a better day. Honestly.

Christmas Challenge: Day 16

Day 16: Your favorite Christmas tradition.

Anything family related.
I adore decorating the tree with my family. I love the silly gifts we get in our stockings. I love that it's always chaotic when the whole family is together.
I love it all.

Christmas Challenge: Day 13

Day 13: 5 things you love about Christmas

I adore everything about Christmas ... but here go five:

1. Lazy days spent with family
2. SNOW!! (especially last year when we had a WHITE CHRISTMAS!)
3. Cozy fires with hot chocolate & Christmas music
4. Love that fills the air
5. Giving gifts that make people laugh, cry, and grin like crazy

I could go on ... and on ... and on ...
 

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.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my Big Brother!! 

Master is really an amazing person. He's hilarious, an AMAZING artist (I'll have to share his work sometime), one of my best friends, & makes the best BBQ - some of which I get on Sunday! Woot!

I have great memories of him while we were growing up... but what is even better is listening to all his stories about the adventures he had with his friends. Um wow. ... can't share ... they'd get him in trouble :)

But the best part about him? His support of me & everyone else. He is always telling me - "Do what you want. If no one else likes it oh well... do what makes you happy."  .... That unconditional support has been amazing these last few years. Especially when I was bouncing back and forth with what to do with my life. ... It's also been amazing with wedding planning.

Master, you really are an amazing big brother.
Happy Birthday! I love you.

 My brother & me at my 21st birthday party.

I adore this picture of us.

& 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?

Yeah she's just lounging
::sigh:: I love that dog.

On the way home

Don't worry! We were stopped.

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

Bisous, Kiki

Project 365: Week 5: Days 28-34

And here we are again! This week we traveled a lot & had fun doing so. So on with the pictures!

Days 28-34: June 28-July 4, 2010

Day 28

After we moved Josh's Dad & Rena we went & stayed a few day with his Mom.

This was Josh's birthday dessert - fried cheesecake! He loved it. I fake tried it. 

Day 29

Aria sleeping with her bunny on the way back home. I adore her. 

Day 30

SNOW CONES!!!! 

Mine was Tiger's Blood (as always) & Josh's was Sour Apple with extra extra sour spray.

& still not sour enough.

Day 31

Poor Aria has a hurt paw :(

Day 32

Josh & Aria under his new NASA BLANKET!!!

For those of you familiar with The Office - Josh wasn't sleeping in his undies under it - à la Dwight. Though I'm sure he wanted to.

Day 33

Aria with her Beaver & Bear Head. 

Yeah I take a ton of pictures of her. Yeah most of 365 will probably be her. 

Day 34

 Happy 4th of July!!

We went to Mom and Dad's. Since they now know how to professionally deal Blackjack we played. 

I won. 

Yeah that's $1,091 .... I started with around $185.

So there you go! A picture a day for the last week. .... Although I take more than a picture a day & sometimes it is agonizingly hard to pick just one.
Bisous, Kiki

Happy Father's Day!!

It's Father's Day! & I'd like to say I love you & thank you for everything to my wonderful Father. You are a great man, husband, friend, and father. You have always provided an example of what it means to be a hard worker, a supportive friend, and an honest person. You have always been there for me & I know you will continue to do so.

I love you more than words can adequately express.
