Today we...

took down our magical tree...
worked on the office, got a new printer, tried to make the house cozy again... 
watched E enjoy all of his new stuff!..

"fixed" Buzz's wings about 7653 times...

and I whipped up a new painting for our living-room...
*Now...

The very thought of January always makes me ill. I don't like it. It is cold, gloomy, long, and depressing... and it has nothing to offer! It's like a dementor... stealing away all my hope and joy and warmth! GAH!

HOWEVER!.. luckily, I know lots of people with January birthdays!, me and Lo are having a Penelope party!, AND, I'm going to RVA with some of my new besties! :) :) :) 

Thank-Goodness.

Seth and I will be traveling this week to visit friends in North Carolina for New Years! So, I'll share all of that fun with you soon!

OH!.. and I can't forget our "It's still 2010" party!!! 

January, I will give you a chance. DON'T BE LAME!

♥,

Arley

My favorite Christmas joke...

(This probably appears to be more disturbing than it actually is)... but I needed to document this! Every year, on the day after Christmas, I go shopping with my mom and sister. I look forward to it soooo much. Today was priceless(ly) hilarious!!! Best ever :)

The End.

This post is dedicated to Katy. I love her so. 

From us to you...

xoxo.

Fa La La La La...

wrapping = complete!...

and the worley's would like to wish you a happiest of holidays and the most merry christmas!...
