Christmas Joy with the Hahns

Last night we had our 2nd Annual Christmas Joy night with the Hahns. This time we had it up at our house! We made a cute little gingerbread house and lots of chocolate! We had strawberry pomegranate Italian soda and later that night we had Baileys Irish cream in hot chocolate! Yummy! We had so much fun!

Christmas Cheer

Last night Margaret, Karlee, Steve and I had a evening of Christmas cheer! We had lots of snacks and good food to eat! For dessert we had chocolate chip cookies, Almond Windmill cookies, and hot chocolate with a shot of Baileys! It was so yummy! I gave Margaret her Christmas present! It is so exciting to see people open up presents you give to them! :) After that we all decided to watch a scary movie called Orphan. It was super weird and freaky! Overall it was a great night! Lots of laughs! Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

This is what I woke up to this morning...

A ton of birds in the tree outside my window...



Including a male and female cardinal! They looked so pretty in the first snow of the year!

I wish I was a well-taken care of cat...

Gosh, there are times that I just wish I didn't have to deal with all this stress! I am applying to graduate school for Speech Pathology and have to get some of my teachers to write me letters of recommendation! I know I should have started this earlier, because now on top of everything else I also have my end of the semester projects and tests to deal with as well. Just have too much on my mind! I also have to take the GRE as soon as I can! I just hate those kind of standardized tests! How can I possibly prepare myself for it! AH! Well as soon as break gets here I will have a few less things to think about! I hate worrying...I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. It is stuff like this that makes me wish I was a carefree, lazy cat...

The Day of the Cardinal

So today while Steve and I were leaving to go to the grocery store, we spotted a big, fat, bright red cardinal sitting on my bird feeder outside my living room window! I have been waiting for a cardinal to land at my feeder! I was so excited to see it! I hope it comes back and brings its friends! Seeing that cardinal today made me so happy! :) Hope everyone else is having a splendid Friday!
