Not Only Green When Summer's Here

[stock] christmas tree cookies

We got our family Christmas tree on Sunday the 7th! Geoff & I had already gotten our tree for our house earlier, but those pictures were fairly boring with the exception of Geoff hacking at the tree base with an old chef's knife. You know the really good stuff happens when my sisters & I are doing holiday celebrating.


At the nursery with Dad & Myken


Geoffrey was there for a little while too before he had to go to work.


A contender for THE TREE but I don't think it's the one we ended up choosing


Scarf attack!


Ali wanted me to get a picture of her jumping before the store employees came over to help us with our selected tree. That's them in the background probably wondering what is wrong with us.


Scared-face & snob-face now available in Christmas colors


Wouldn't be Christmas without the traditional poinsettia pothead picture!


backseat busters


lol


back at the house, Dad prepping the pretty


Amanda made herself this festive cup of cocoa


If you don't know by now that hanging these awesome Clauses has been my job for as long as I can remember, you haven't been paying much attention to my Christmas posts through the years.


We thought it would be nice to have Santa loom over the bar


These look awesome pink in the photo, but in person they looked like a bloody mess so luckily I convinced my dad not to use them on the tree


New spot for the groovy Santa moon


Christmas casualty


We brought some snow in so Buca would feel more at home! (Haha ok obviously not really but it strangely looks like it here)

Amanda was having way too much fun with her scarf:

So it inspired some sweet action shots:


Toro, toro!


The lights around the mirror stopped working about 10 minutes after this, but at least they looked pretty for a little while, haha.

Santa up to his usual antics:


G's officially in

Annual jumping photos commencing now:







More spazzy scarf action


Nom


Victory over the lights being up!


so atmospherical


Tink laughing at how poorly my camera takes nonflash shots


Dad putting all his really good ornies up top

Charlie Brown, yo!


Our very subtle hinting about what jammies we'd like this year (click for biggie to read some samples of our awesome maturity)


we're just three little angels


Snow doggie!


What, like you've never seen a Santaheadplant before?


Peace out from this pretty blursville!

no way, you guys have so much fun! Buca has grown SO big!
I laughed at the photo of you guys scribbling all over the jammies, aww.
The shot of Geoff hiding behind the tree is like something out of Where's Wally! (Waldo for the Americans)
I love all the photos of your sisters playing around, especially the bullfighting photo and all the ace jumping photos.
NOM at the festive colour Reese pieces!
You look gorgeous in the tartan skirt and black top with red lipstick and your amazing scarf!

I know, I can't believe less than a year ago, Buca was just a little snowball with tiny stumps for legs! She's still pretty small for her breed, she was the runt of the litter :D

I almost captioned that photo Where's Geoffrey, haha.

Thanks for the sweet compliments. I've only worn that LAMB skirt like once before & I figured it was so festive that it would be a perfect oppurtunity to sport it again :)

That's the Meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown
Great series! I second [info]sassygirl's "gorgeous" regarding your tartan skirt.

I think I liked the Charlie Brown dancing best.

Re: That's the Meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown
Yes the video is my favorite part too, especially due to my dad's cluelessness about what we were doing.

Obviously I need to bust that skirt out more often!

Ahhh thank you dearie, the holiday ones are always some of my favorites as well! Hopefully I'll have some good stuff from Christmas Eve/Christmas. I've got to try to remember to take more videos because they are always gold ;)

Very nice & pretty!

Looks a lot more fun than when we put our decorations up. My family tends to embrace the drama instead. LOL

Haha oh believe me there's plenty of yelling involved (ie: "You took all the good spots on the tree!!!!"), I just carefully edit that type of stuff out ;)

haha Same! I always try to in the summer, but so much of my collection consists of hoodies and jackets and more cold-weather stuff. I want your scarf so bad -- it's absolutely gorgeous!

Hahah totally! The hoodies & the jackets are just the best stuff.

The scarf was a Christmas present in '05. I'm soooo happy I have it! My dad had no idea how sought after it would become! It's my only one though - I'd love to have the serpent one.

Ooh the serpent one is GORGEOUS.
One day when I'm really bored, I'm going to go through LAMB-collections an compile a wish list. Then I am going to distribute it to my loved ones and hope for the best, LOL

as much as I never wanted to move... the idea of moving to Nevada seems more and more inviting with every one of your posts.

... I need to get in on this festive action!!!

Thank you much Corina! Buca is seriously the cutest cute ever. One of the reasons I love Samoyeds (her breed) is their trademark smiles :D

Ah, that would be so much fun! :D No plans for my next Vegas trip yet, though, but there's gonna be one next year, IF I ever find that au pair job in the States. If not, then I'll have to come back in 2010 or something, cause I miss Vegas bunches! So yeah, I'll be ringing your door bell one of these days. ;D

Yay jumping pictures! How cool is your Dad to have that artwork above his fireplace, btw? That's amazing!

I love that you guys dressed up for tree-hunting, too. Your plaid skirt/awesome scarf combo was absolutely darling.

VS has the cutest pajamas! I need to start a jammie tradition around here...

Weee thanks! They're some of my favorites too :)

So glad you enjoyed the Charlie Brown video! I think we have one of us doing those dances dating back to 1990! I wish I had a vid of Geoff doing his ;)

I always laugh during "Hark The Herald..." when they take their deep breaths in between lines! :D
