And here goes another.

Here is ANOTHER Christmas-esk video. I am having fun making these while watching all the Homeland episodes. YUP we are def. done with season 2 and now devastated that we have to wait a WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR for season 3. GOSH DANG IT. Anyways here ya go with my top 5 Christmas song-- oh and my top 5 thing to do...DECORATE. 

 Even Pippa likes to watch TV. I think it's fun to relax and watch a flic or show BUT after awhile you ask yourself is there more to do in my free time then watching TV?

 It doesn't help that it's rainy day in and day out here, no motivation to get outside. 

 My mom complained how she didn't get enough of these cookies in her goodie gift,
so I made her a batch to herself...

and the other 3 people that live with her.

 We hung out at the DMV, I call it hanging out because you are there for so long it almost feels like your not going anywhere. There are some pretty interesting people comin through those DMV doors. People watching at it's finest. 

Mr. finally got his license updated..it was only 3 months past the expiration date. 

My Lunch. 

The End. 

So this is December.

I made sugar cookies....the intense kind...the recipe where you have to chill the dough for TWO hours. 

Pretty tasty, fluffy, soft and thick. I have figured out the trick to sugar cookies...DO NOT overcook these suckers. If it says to bake at 375 DON'T, stick to the 350 degrees and if it says to bake for 9-12 minutes DON'T bake for only 8 minutes. 

I listened to Justin Bieber's Christmas c.d. and baked away. 

It was some good quality alone time. 

Great afternoon. 

There has been 2 birthdays so far this month. 

my bff Rachel and my niece Lizzy!

 THE BIG 24. 

We made snowflakes BTW. 

New tradish I am starting. 

Gingerbread MY House.

We did some building. Built two houses with icing and candy oh and GINGERBREAD.  We turned Home Alone on for some hilar moments. The movie rolled the credits and Mr. was still not done, in fact  he just put the house together and hadn't started the decorating. So we turned on Jungle All The Way, one of the biggest mistakes Arnold ever made.
Finally after 4 hours of Christmas movie watching Mr. was done. 

He took his gingerbread house so seriously! 

It was actually hilarious. 

Our little houses. 

Christmas festivities continue...
