Christmas Cray Cray!

So the days leading up to Chistmas were absolutely insane in the membrane...(insane in the brain)!
So the day that I got back from Hawaii, we had to make the journey from Bellingham to home because that is where we flew out of! I stopped by to pick up Sully and spend some time with  her, I wish I had her reaction to my homecoming on video, it was the cutest thing I have probably ever seen. She flipped her shit! Seriously...and would not leave me alone for HOURS. Well anyway, I basically had to pick up my baby, and then go to a dentist appointment to get some fillings done. Oh joy.
I was definitely dreading this appointment, because I knew this was coming...normally when it is just a cleaning, you know there is a possibility that you can come out unscathed. But I knew I was going down.

I went to my appointment, got all numbed up just in time for the ride home!
I drove home to Oregon pretty much right after that, because I knew that I had SO many things to do.
I was baking about 10 different types of cookies and making these little magnet boards for people as presents. And stressing and trying to figure out what I was going to get for the rest of the people on my list. Fortunately, Christmas was small, my mom had even said that it was going to be small, and they weren't really planning on getting us anything but money.  Hmm okay, I can handle that.

So basically the next few days I was trying to get everything together and wrap presents and bake. I would go to work, and then come home and bake cookies until like 1 or 2 every night. Oh my gosh. Long days! Unfortunately, I do not have any pics of the fruits of my labor.

I was able to quickly pose with my Santa chug for a picture

Santa Chug and my tree

Aren't we sweet

Lights all aglow!

My window with my snowflakes-kitch a mess. UGH

So I don't really have any pics on my camera of Christmas itself, unfortunately they were all my Droid.
But it was wonderful. I came home on the 23rd, and spent Christmas Eve with my family. We went and saw Sherlock Holmes, and went to Red Robin and planned on going to Snowflake Lane after our movie. I was freaking exhausted, so I kept falling asleep in the movie. Just as I was nodding off again, the fire alarm went off! We had to evacuate, and so that delayed our movie-so much so, that we missed Snowflake Lane, which made me sad because I wanted to go so bad! Luckily though for us, the theatre did not burn down.

After the movie, we went home and snuggled up in our beds while visions of sugarplums danced in our heads..no? Okay maybe not.
Well anyway, woke up the next morning and had Christmas morning with  my dad and my brother. It was wonderful, I got so many amazing presents. I was not even expecting! I even recieved Willy Wonka Collectors Edition, which is something I have been lusting after, for quite some time!!
Then we went to my grandmas house and had Christmas morning with her per usual fashion. She made us scrambled egg surprise of course. It was lovely! So wonderful to see them.
After that we packed up the Yari Yari and went and spent time at my mums house. You know how I said that she didn't want to get us presents, only money? No, she completely outdid herself, and got us presents, and wrapped them in money. No big deal right? After this Christmas, my brother and I were ballin. My mom is a G it is fine.

After Christmas we enjoyed a lovely dinner, and just relaxed for the evening with the dogs. Cammy and I left and then just went home and kicked it. Overall, it was amazing night. Can't believe I got to share my Christmas with so many amazing friends and family that love each other so much.
No snow...but I suppose everything else made up for that :)

Love you all times pi
