Christmas 2011

Hey guys! So as I promised in my last post, here's a post with pictures!! This is going to be a little bit about how my Christmas went. I know it's late, but better late than never right? 

So here we go.

This is our Christmas tree. You can't really see all the detail, but it's 9.5ft tall, and there are hundreds of ornaments on it. Here are a few up close. 

Here's an ornament that I handmade. It took me about 2 days total, but it's so pretty. I love it. 

I have had this one forever. I think I got it when I was a little girl. It's one of my favorite ones on our entire tree. 

 Here's a "cookie" like ornament that is supposed to be either Clara or the Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker. We also have the male one which is her cavalier. That little penguin in the corner is another one of my favorites. He's just so cute!

This is Uncle Drosselmeyer with the Nutcracker. 

 A beaded "R" that I got as a gift. 

And another one of my favorites. It's a woody with a Christmas tree on top! 

So that is a little bit of the up close and personal with my Christmas tree. Haha. 

Some of our decor. 

I got a few gifts for Christmas. Mostly jewelry and clothing, but the best gift I got that I was not expecting at all was this. 

An iPad 2!! I was so surprised when I opened it because I had wanted one so badly but felt bad about asking for one since the prices of these are so crazy. I am so thankful and blessed to have had such a wonderful Christmas with my family. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/New Years. 

Love,

Rachel
