project 365 - day 365

Holy crap, day 365. Never thought this day would come. Of course I've pretty much decided to do the new Becky Higgins, Project Life, for 2010, which is basically the same thing. I am still undecided as to whether I will chronicle it on my blog, though. This photo is of another of Nicole's Christmas presents, and one that she desperately wanted - that kit to make the giant cupcakes. As seen on TV, natch. At least it's not an easy bake oven.

One of the things Nicole got for Christmas was a little easel and some paintings to color in. This is her first masterpiece of the set. Technically not finished, but I'm fairly certain she's decided to be done.

Merry Christmas! Once again, as usual, the kids got way too many presents. It takes forever to open them all, and mom is the one who has to ultimately clean up after all them all year long as they leave these new trinkets all over the house, but it's just so much fun to shop for them that I can't resist.

I love how this picture came out. No, it's not snowing here in Florida, it's actually "reindeer food" that Nicole just threw, and I happened to snap the pic as it was falling down. I think the effect is pretty cool, though. We have been doing reindeer food with them on Christmas eve since they were babies.

I love this bracelet! Of course, Nicole was quick to point out that they're not real diamonds. lol. That's okay, I still like it anyway. Pretty sure this one came from Cookie Lee.

Rico, laying down in what used to be Jasper's bed. Jasper never had a cage, because I didn't cage train him when he was little, so I didn't figure he'd take to it when he got older, but he did have this bed in the kitchen that he liked to lay in. We never got rid of it, and now Rico seems to enjoy it.

Now it is really getting cold here in FL, and the kids are actually having to wear jackets to school. We don't get that a lot here, so it's kind of novel. For about a week, and then we're all tired of it. My kids are fascinated by the fact that where I grew up, we had snow. I don't think they can even imagine what that is really like, since they've never actually even seen snow. The closest they have come is when it gets cold overnight and we get a little frost on the lawn. But those of you that come from the cold states know that is SO not the same thing.
