My awesome boyfriend has an equally awesome family who generously included me in all of their Christmas plans. I did a two day ditl, but forgot to take pictures a lot, so it's not TOO bad.
I didn't decide to do a ditl til i'd been up for a while. My alarm rang at 11 to remind me to take my inhaler, and when i went in my bag, i found my bosses' phone charger! D'oh. Oh and I also ate breakfast but forgot to take a pic.
I watch a video my bf sends me (HILARIOUSSSSS I LOVE COMMUNITY) and then head out in the cold for a haircut.
Before...and after! She did such a good job, I almost don't mind that the BLOWDRY cost as much as the cut. Grr. I do a quick run into walgreens on my way home.
Back home, it's baking time! Best. cupcakes. ever. I am The Messiest Baker, for rizzle. Roommates got lovey for the picture. Cupcakes! They came out looking a little funny, maybe because i used buttermilk POWDER this time? they taste good! I replaced the vanilla with mint, and it was AWESOME.
Yayyyy for my new flour/sugar containers from my bro/SIL! Yay for taking pics of the back of my head so i can see the cut! Yay for the bathroom sign my bf made! Yay for cupcakes all done!
Lo! A wild boyfriend appears! And he has PRESENTS! He made me a recipe book with all his own illustrations and family recipes, and then a 4-cup awesome measuring cup and a giant cupcake pan...i got him a game for the 3DS he would get the next morning from his mama and made him coupons for...all sorts of stuff.
I get all prettied up for his aunt's Xmas-eve party, and make him take pictures of me. Too bad you can't see the awesome vintage boots that go with the awesome vintage belt, both courtesy of my grandma! He makes faces at me while i do my makeup. Then we're off!
His doggie greets us at his house. I didnt wanna be weird and take pics at dinner or the party, so, time jump! That's about when we left to go back to my house i think. His family gave me SO MANY PRESENTS OMG. One thing i got was this fun notepad, which i had to fill out for Ry before i crashed into bed.
Cut to...Christmas!
I get started baking before I even get washed up and dressed and eat. Much more casual today but still nice because that's how I roll :-)
My photobucket is being poopy so you missed another baking collage...finished product: banana bread muffins and green mint whipped cream frosting for the cupcakes, YUM! Oh...and dishes. blah.
At Ryan's after all the guests leave, I feel okay to take a few pictures. Their tree, which i chose the position of and helped decorate. His little brother, sister-in-law, and big brother being silly :-) Me and Ry being our cute selves, and my present from one of his aunts. :-D
Ry works on one of his legos that he got, and Maddie looks alternately cute and terrifying!
We finally escape back to my house for...snuggles...and i only barely wake up for my pill. I kicked him out to go home and sleep at midnight!
Happy New Year everyone!
