I didn't take any pictures of actual Christmas day so I'll have to steal some from my family later.
Leading up to Christmas was pretty busy for us. Starting with celebrating Landon's Birthday.
His birthday is December 10th so we celebrated through the whole weekend starting with his traditional family birthday dinner on Thursday night.
Here's the happy birthday boy wearing a nice hat at the hibachi place he picked out.
We've been to this place a few times but the fire was really big on this occasion I thought my freakin face was going to burn off.
The choo choo train
The traditional birthday drum and drummer. (they also had a gong that some other people got and we were kind of bummed to miss out on that)
Happy 25 written in rice! Yum!
He had to work on his actual birthday (bummer) but I had his favorite key lime pie and candles for him when he got home. Also, a tee-shirt he had been wanting for a while. He loves his pugs!
To finish up the birthday celebrations my dad bought him and the rest of us tickets to see Trans Siberian Orchestra which Landon has always wanted to see so it was a good ending to his birthday festivities!
We also had to work on getting our Christmas card together. I wanted to try a fun idea I had seen on pinterest with Christmas lights but it didnt quite turn out right.
So we scrapped that idea and went for something simple because we only had a little bit of time to get everything done.
Here's some of the pictures from our DIY photo shoot.
Cute Christmas pups!
Little retro flare
One that didnt make the cut. Sorry Jet but you'll make it in the card next year. Cat's are a little trickier to work with than dogs. haha
More Christmas festivities!
Michelle and I put together a small Christmas party for our senior girls. Complete with tacky sweaters, ( I couldn't find a tacky sweater so I threw together a feliz navidad tribute I found in my closet. So random) photo booth, white elephant gifts and kareoke!!
Here's the layout. Trust me it looked cuter in person but the church lighting doesn't do anything for pictures.
Cookies, cupcakes, candy, hot chocolate buffet, and a few dips.
The party started out a little painful because the girls were a little afraid of getting up there and doing Karaoke but finally Hanna and Melissa got the party started and after that it was like pulling teeth to get Hanna to put the mic down.
But as you can see once they got into it they really let themselves go! So much fun!

The party ended with Hanna and Melissa showing us their dance for the flashmob they were going to be in in a few days.
