winnipeg......

i do apologize for how much time has passed since my last posting. The end of the semester was really busy, i got sick for a bit, and then suddenly it was time to pack and jump on a plane. So here i am in Winnipeg. I flew in last night, and have already slept most of today away! I'm home for 10 days, so back in BC for New Years. I'm looking forward to spending some relaxing time here at home with my family. And of course, a few rowdy ping pong tournaments will be thrown in i'm sure!

I'll be sure to post some pics once i take some!!!!

christmas decorating!!

So while I was down in Washington for school this weekend, the girls and i decided it was time to decorate for christmas. However, we really didn't want to go out and chop down a tree. Hmmm....what to do, what to do...?? Well we're creative and crafty, so we decided to make our own tree! But a tree wasn't enough...so we needed a fireplace too. I mean, you need somewhere to hang your stockings, right?

We cracked out the construction paper and tape and set to work.

Here's Carrie working hard on the fireplace

Veronica sets to work on the tree. We not only used green construction paper, but also Mountain Dew cases....worked like a charm...lol
And of course, the naughty kitten started eating the decorations....

and the final product...

So our fire is almost done, so i took the opportunity to warm my hands....

The kitten was being naughty and eating the decorations so it was time to throw her in the fire....don't worry, she learned her lesson...
