First up, I made my first gingerbread house with Sis. :) The first attempt proved futile, as our frosting cement was much too runny. After tweaking the recipe a bit and creating a thicker sugar glue, our second attempt at building a house took but 5 minutes.
That blog of frosting in the front was supposed to be a snowman, but the piping bag exploded and we had to stop there before frosting got all over. That to the far right would be my station wagon. :)
Next up, I opened my gifts from sis early. She'd made me a stocking and filled it up nice and neat, considering I'd never had a stocking before. It was even written with "La La" on it. :) Yay! It's now hanging in my room. Within this stocking, I received:
A cuddly cow (that smells like tea!) that you can microwave and a brand spankin' new journal. :D Joy!
And a sriracha shirt! She knows I love the stuff. :) Love herrrrr!
Not shown that were also in the stocking included neat little mitten/gloves and a fluffy purple bird pen. The gloves are sitting in my drawer and the pen on my desk. :)
And from my immediate family? I got socks. Regular ol' socks. I thought that stuff only happened in movies. :( I'm not even an ankle sock person unless it's summer time and I'm wearing shorts...
At least the Pumas have purple stitching. :) I like purple.
For sis, I'd gotten her the Pro Mark II 9000 Canon printer and a boatload of photo papers. I warned her that it'd be of apocalyptic proportions. I'm not quite sure if she believed me until she'd seen them all. :) Thank you, Staples, for all of your FAR and almost FAR deals. :) I'd also given her a GIANT stocking, in which I'd thrown in little piggy items; USB flash drive, note pad, and an Angry Birds King Pig pen. I don't think she'd opened it yet, but I sure hope she likes it. It was hidden within a Choco Pie box, buried under Choco Pie and resealed to just look like regular 'ol Choco Pie. :P
My brother on the other hand, received a Pop phone and a bunch of Hello Kitty items alongside random things I'd found from the Dollar Tree that reminded me of our childhood. Our toys are making a comeback! :P
