Merry Christmas Everybody! I am not even going to give a lame excuse for why it has taken me so long to update. Anyway, let's get to it! My mom got these really cool wine glasses for Christmas and my sister (who calls me 'Emee') labelled the cups. Hilarious Allison!

Everybody working to gether to get dinner ready- this is always one of my favorite holiday memories- everybody bustling about to get the meal ready.

The finished product:

And Allison's ever artistic meal picture (great job sis!)

Mike and I went to Lincoln for Christmas eve and then to my parent's house for Christmas. We were then able to come home for a few relaxing days and Allison came to stay with us. We all had a wonderful time!

And we put together our new composter! Seriously I am so excited about this. It sits on this base that allows the ball to roll so that the compost gets shifted around every so often. I am really excited to see how much our garbage decreases because of this wonderful thing!

Games are always a part of our holidays...

Mike's sister Carilyn got this awesome canvas made of one of our wedding pictures and we put it at the top of the stairs on the red wall (ignoring my dad's recommendation that we put a big 'N' for Nebraska). Looks great, huh?

I also surprised my family this year with family pictures after Christmas. I can't wait to see how the pictures turn out!

Allison did some awesome cooking for us and we got the first of our 'compost items' ready to put in the composter!

Also, my mom made these amazing shelves. The main board came from a piece of corness moulding that we found in the attic nailed to the beams (can you believe that???) She MADE these shelves out of it after risking her life to get the (lead) paint off of it in the basement. Thanks Mom- they look great!!!

Also- can you tell I got a new camera this year??? What a wonderful year to spend time with family and have a (surprise) day off from work today!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I almost forgot- the postcards on the shelves were also found in the attic- dated 1908- how cool!!!
Sounds like a fun holiday. I really like the glasses with the little chalkboards on them. And this composter looks a little on the crazy side...
