Since I haven't blogged in a few weeks, I thought I would give you the update on what I've been doing. This is basically 5 posts rolled into one. Enjoy!
*Happy Birthday!
Yes siree, I turned the big 25 last week. I had to work that night but we celebrated a little at the hospital. Then that weekend I went to PF Changs (yummy!) and to the Nutcracker with some friends. We had a great time. Downtown Seattle is so beautiful around Christmas time.
*Rear WindowRemember that old Alfred Hitchcock movie? Well, like Jimmy Stewart I was having some trouble with my rear window except it was in my car and the problem was not that I saw someone being murdered through it but that I couldn't open it. Sheila spent the night at the dealership (while I drove a 2009 outback loaner) and came back as good as new. This makes it much easier to move the harp as well as my meals on wheels deliveries (as seen below).
*Space Needle Santa
Normally I don't sit on Santa's lap or pay $15 for a picture of me sititng on his lap. Lucky for me, I have this great friend Stacey who works as a photographer at the space needle and took me and my roommate Camille there as her guests. She also gave us this photo to commerate the event.
*Gingerbread fun
Last night for FHE we decorated gingerbread houses. When I found out they were just planning on using graham crackers, I couldn't help but volunteer to make some real gingerbread. We had a great time. Here is Camille and I with our friend and fellow gingerbread decorator Carole.

*Dancing Queen
I recently clogged with my group (The Emerald City Cloggers) at the Great Figgy Pudding Street Corner Caroling Contest. We didn't win any prizes but I still had such great time. If you are interested in seeing more, here are the youtube links of our our performances:

Looks like your enjoying all aspects of the Christmas season! Good for you!
Except perhaps snow?
Kristen, you are just so good and so cute and so fun and I'm not at all surprised that you volunteered to make real gingerbread. Along that theme, you'll be happy to know that Mom turned down my offer to bring an artificial Christmas tree to Omaha -- she just bought a fresh cut one yesterday!
We're excited to see you soon!
I hope you wore your Christmas apron while making the gingerbread!
Sounds like you have been having a great December so far..Nutcracker, Space Needle, Christmas clogging, birthday....and the gingerbread house is very cute!
