the haps..

you know..the hardest part about vacation..is ending it.

i had too much fun.

and i might not have showered for a few of the days..

but that is really none of your business....

but i had a great week...lots of fun presents...

like some gray toms (fyi..the zumiez in the pocatello mall has them for $10 cheaper than the online store..in case anyone is local)

my mom got me this cute coat....

(wet seal)


my husband (and sister in law) both got me set of these books....

and other fun odds and ends that i can't remember right now...

my sister gave the nephews a fort kit...which included clothespins, rope, chip clips, suction cups, sheets and a flashlight...all in one bag....

(fyi: awesome gift.)

she also made these cute little travel houses for the girls...

(which i plan on making for my husband's side of the family this year so more info later..)

my other sister made these adorable ruffled purses...

and we are all going to disneyland this year..so my mom made all the grandkids play minute to win it games to earn spending money to buy their own souvenirs.

(i totally had to spell check that word....it's a toughy)

w also made some hot glue pancakes using a pancake pen...

we took some awesome family pictures...

which literally ended with me saying "SCREW IT! excuse me for trying to capture some family memories!"

i spend a good half hour brushing hair...

and wondering why i spent 20 bucks on this doll. (cause tangled is the best movie ever that's why)

woke up to a rash..

he's fine..

and my sister whipped together these adorable ornaments...(just a little 3x3 piece of wood at joanns with a picture mod podged on...)

 they were for my mom's tree...all 15 of her grandbabies...

sorry..it was nighttime when i thought to take a picture...

we also watched an outrageous amount of movies....


we played games

and took a dozen baths...

dear, mother in law,

real makeup? REAL? she's 3.

and we just got to laze around and play with all our new stuff!

all in all...it was much needed! i love christmas..but i'm sure happy when it's over!
