So it's about that time of year again . . . time for me to deliver the "Attention: Did you know Christmas is Over?" notices to all of my neighbors' doors! In years past, I have thought to myself, "Could it really be that hard to take a wreath down and put it inside?" Now, the beam is in my eye as I present to you . . .
My better late than never Christmas post! We'll keep it short and sweet. These are a few highlights of our trip to Utah this year. Really, just the things we happened to take pictures of:
Brady hosting the first annual Guess Who? Tournament for New Year's Eve. I couldn't believe he really went through with the entire bracket system! It was actually pretty fun . . . although I still feel that I was cheated out of winning :)
The four of us, all in our Threadless T-shirts. Tanner is currently obsessed with this hilarious T-shirt website, and the rest of us are starting to catch on. Come to think of it, Kati may be obsessed as well. Her shirt says, "If your pants are on fire, being a liar becomes less important." Mine says, "Haikus are easy/but sometimes they don't make sense/refrigerator." Brady's doesn't say anything, but it's the best looking tv set you never knew you wanted. Tanner's is a Scrabble bench with the letters Q, X, W, V, W, Z, and V on it.
Get-together at Jacob's with Dave, Amy, Jacob, and Robbie. We had a blast and laughed so hard this night!
This is our only picture of either of the boys from our Christmas trip (we were really bad with the camera, apparently). I love this one though because we have an almost identical one of Ben, which appears in our wedding video. I really need to track that picture down!
And now for the projects! I was really in a project mood on this trip, and I roped my family into doing all of them with me! Good thing they are good sports (and good thing my dad is an amazing woodworker). This is the beginnings of a wood-burning project that I hope to finish and post here sooner rather than later. I am SO excited about doing it!
Mom and I are both serving in Primary, so we made our yearly music CD's together, as well as these amazing books for teaching this year's new song.
The birthday calendars! I saw something like this at Anthropologie for like $25. We made 6 of them for $20. I am so excited to have all of the important birthdays in one place and to not have to write them on the calendar again every year.

I got so excited when I saw a picture of an Amazon Kindle in the middle of your blog post. I thought for sure you must have gotten it for Christmas or your birthday and that was the perfect gift for you. Then I saw it was made of wood and I felt like I'd been tricked. The T-shirt logos made up for it though. Funny!
I've been wanting to make a birthday calendar like that for a long time. Maybe this will be the year... I've thought I should get started now on making homemade gifts for people for Christmas this year. Maybe then it will happen.
