Merrrrrrrry Christmas from Montana! I hope ya'll are having a wonderful Christmas with your families and loved ones, and that Santa brought you everything you asked for : )
For the first time in a couple years I got to wake up to a white Christmas! Considering last year when Kansas got our huge snow storm I was in Florida, so today started off juuuust right!
So pretty!
Christmas thus far has been pretty uneventful compared to past Christmases with the whole fam, but its still been good. Its just Alex, me, and sweet lil' Milo up here in cold, snowy, mountainy, hick-town Montana. We woke up and had some breakfast with coffee and mimosas, and then we opened up our presents (and by we, I mostly mean I watched Alex open her presents because I opened mine back home so they wouldn't have to be shipped to the middle of nowhere Montana).
I promise we're not alchies
Mama and pup's first Christmas!
My sister Jenny got me a sewing book and some starter tools! Don't let the face fool you, I'm excited...juuuust a little questionable of how long it will take me before I can sew something that won't look like a monkey made it.
We were listening to some good 'ol Christmas tunes, and Nsync's Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays came up. (An oldie but a goodie) So we decided to youtube the music video. Good grief, I miss the 90s and boy bands. Heres the video to enjoy for youselves...You're welcome.
Nsync followed with some Straight No Chaser. I'm a little obsessed. I love me some SNC! If you haven't heard of them or seen the original video that made them famous - this is a must watch.
I got to see them in concert last year at KU, and afterwards they were at a table signing autographs and meeting the fans. I wanted to be remembered from the other fans when I met them, so what do I do?...Look like a complete idiot apparently. (It just comes so naturally to me) But hey, I'm surrrrre I was remembered after this. For better & worse : ) Heres the gist of how the convo went down...
Hey, I loved ya'lls concert. You guys were great!
Thank you!
Well, I have a joke for you guys!
Ok, lets hear it.
What kind of pants does Mario wear?
(silence)
Denim denim denim...Denim denim denim! (in mario's theme song)
(awkward silence, blank stares, and pity laughs & smiles)
Okay, welp it was great meeting you guys! (walk away)
(Laughs from my sister and friends I went to the concert with off to the side)
I guess they missed out on the best classic video game of Nintendo64.
Welllllll, reliving our childhood days, we came up with a list of past Christmas toys that we begged our parents/Santa to get us when we were younger...
1) Furby (At the moment I loved it, but shortly after I realized just how freakin creepy those things were. I even put mine in my closet, turned off the lights, covered it with a blanket, and this thing would still talk and move around)
2) Tamagotchi. Pretty sure I always got the ugly, red, squirmy thing.
3) Easy Bake Oven. Love the tagline from this picture...
What did you guys ask for for Christmas when you were younger?! You know you're getting older when you ask for practical gifts and gladly accept clothing. I got a bread maker which I'm ready to use the crap out of when I get back home! Well, on the agenda for the rest of the day for me and Fishy is just to relax, watch some more xmas movies and Boy Meets World, and cook a pizza for dinner...Psh, forget ham, bring on the pesto! You can't really expect 2 college students to pay for and prepare an extravagant christmas meal can you? But I think we're pretty content in our pesto chicken pizza decision.
I hope that you all have a very very Merry CHRISTmas!!
