A Star Wars Christmas Joke for a Star Wars themed Christmas! How did Darth Vader know what Luke got him for Christmas? He felt his presents.

Christmas in March...well actually Christmas pictures that I haven't had a chance to post on here until now. Better late than never.

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mother!


A recurring theme (of mine) around the holidays is family arts and crafts. There were the Chinese New Years Red Envelope Lanterns and the Christmas Dinner Make Your Own Snowflake Placecards and then this year...it was Star Wars Cookies and Meringue Snowmen.

Cookies - Hit...Meringue - Miss. No one makes my blood boil like Martha. She's so deceptive. SO so deceptive. Her and her 'its so easy'-ness. Ughh. Needless to say, the snowmen did NOT work out. Ok, moving on to the successes though...the cookies were fabulous. Great decorating skills, family!

Thanks to my ever patient and accomodating family for participating in all of my arts and craft projects! You are the best

The 'Hit' Star Wars cookies - Heroes, Villians, and Galactic Vehicle cookies

The 'Miss' Meringue Snowmen...this was the backup plan after 2 batches of anti-stiff peak meringue. Curses, Martha!!!

Ahhh, Christmas time with the family! Love it. Lots of food, lots of presents (including a hoola hoop, an as seen on tv scrubbing foot, star wars key chains, star wars pancake molds, starwars spatula, m&m toe socks, screaming slingshot animals, and the annual appearance of summer sausage just to name a few!), and lots of Beatles Rock Band!

A very happy birthday to my dear mother! I Love You!

I was even able to sneak in a visit with some friends and their babies. While everyone was home, we met up at Carrie and Catherine's Dad's house for some pizza, babies, and Apples to Apples.
