christmas hourly photo project

So I'm still kind of sorta sick with a cold and then Christmas Eve I came down with some intestinal distress both  of which have kept me from sleeping the past couple of nights. I'd probably feel a bunch better with a few more hours of sleep under my belt, but I still enjoyed Christmas day spent with Uncle Dave, Auntie Mel, my Mama, Michael and my baby girls. Wanna see... because it just isn't Christmas without Andrea's hourly photo project.

Oh and would you believe my stinkin' camera is broken. Guess I know what's on my birthday wishlist. Anyway all these were taken with my cellphone. Thank goodness it has a pretty decent camera in it.

Abby was actually up at 6am, but I convinced her to get into bed with me which bought me an extra 30 minutes of dozing at which point we moved the party downstairs where I made her watch TV and ignore the stack of presents under the tree until......

7am - Before the chaos. That is the "less is more" theme in full effect right there peeps!




8am -Creating a masterpiece.




9am - Waiting patiently for breakfast.




10am - Watching the Wizard of Oz. Snuggled up to Auntie Mel for protection during the scary bits.




11am - Boo boo! Pretty big one too actually. Somehow she managed to step/fall onto a garbage bag in which I had just put a broken bowl, that Mike was in the process of taking outside. We thought she might have needed stitches, but my girl JJ brought her incredibly well stocked first aid kit over. We assessed the damage and felt she'd be fine if we wrapped it up with gauze and tape.




12pm - A3, you sunk my Battleship!




1pm - Granny's here. Time for more presents.




2pm - The aftermath.




3pm - Time for tea and the Eat Street marathon. Love holiday TV.




4pm - Needle felting with Auntie Mel.




5pm - Making dinner! Mmmmm broccoli!




6pm - Just back from "Granny's Peel and Stick Nail Salon".




7pm - After dinner convo. Doesn't it look fascinating?




8pm - Completely stuffed and chilling on the couch.




The rest of the evening looked just like that, thanks to the Big Bang Theory marathon and the tryptophan that kept our buts glued to the couch.

#10photos

Today the lovely Andrea over at a Peek Inside the Fishbowl was hosting her ever popular #10photos for Thanksgiving. The idea is you take one picture an hour of whatever you happen to be doing at the time and post on twitter or your blog or both if twitpic is working... which it was not for me today. The horror. I managed to make it through though. First world problems, as they say.

Anyway.... here is my day as boring as it may seem.

9am- breakfast!




10am- attempting to beat the Scrabble Queen.




11am- on the deck.




12pm- Little People with MyPie




1pm- tea and twitter.




2pm- roasting onions with the chicken
