I realize that this is is a month and a half late, but I did do some fun/interesting things over Christmas and wanted to share.

First, Bri and I had our annual Christmas party. These are the invites encouraging the participants to wear their ugliest sweaters.

Then, we went to the festival of trees. This was the first time I had been since my days of performing when I was in dance. This was by far the coolest tree.

This was the second coolest; one because it was an awesome ode to Harry Potter, and second, because it was created by one of my former patients and her family.

For our Christmas party, I decided to make some cake pops. I went on Bakerella's website to get ideas for Christmas themed cake pops. There were three suggestions; Christmas trees, Santa hats, and reindeer. The Santa hats looked easiest and I figured she had used a mold of some kind so I could whip up a batch easy peasy. Looking on her website, she simply said form them into cone shapes (like that was going to happen). So I went with the reindeer because I can totally form cake into balls without assistance.

The first few looked pretty decent.....

Then after 4 hours, they started to turn a little... strange.

"My head is too big for my body. And lopsided..."

"Come here, little girl. I have some candy for you."

"I don't talk good 'cause Pop done run my face over with the tractor."

"I'm melting, I'm MELTING!"

"So what if I just got my wisdom teeth out? Momma says I'm still special!"

Remind you of any hyenas featured in a Disney movie about lions?

"I think the black eye makes him look tough, not demented."

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm happy to be here"

After Dasher smashed him between the eyes, Rudolph never looked the same.

The whole creepy group, together at last.

Good times, good times. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas.
