Christmas in February

This is titled "Christmas in February" not because I'm talking about a Christmas celebration that happened in February but because I'm talking about Christmas...but it's February when I'm writing about it. Remember how my blog stopped letting me log on and write new posts for December and January? Well....I have some catching up to do that I did want to write about.

Here's some things I did over Christmas Break:

My washcloth, though
crooked, is beautiful!

C: Crochet. I learned how to crochet and I made my first washcloth!
H: The Hobbit. I re-read the Hobbit so I could compare it to the movie, which I also saw. The book is better, I have to say, but the movie was really good too.
R: Rest. I slept in a lot. Christmas Break is all about sleeping, right?
I: I got a package from Hannah!!! She sent me my Christmas package and I was so excited to get a whole bunch of candy and a pair of earrings from her!!

Sarah and I at the Bean
in Chicago

S: Sarah. Sarah Woodrow came home with me for Christmas Break since her family is in Mozambique. We had a lot of fun...we went to Chicago, we ate lots of food, we watched movies, we stayed up really late talking, we watched Friends. It was great.
T: The Thornbirds. I don't really know what possessed us to want to watch a NINE hour movie, but we did. It's one of my mom's favorites and we got a lot of crocheting done in the process!
M: Monopoly. And Life. And Clue. And Battleship. Sarah and I (and Mom occasionally) played a ton of board games. It was a blast!

Meeting Levi in the
hospital for the first time

A: Auntie Megan! I became an aunt again! Levi Hubers was born December 29 at 11:51 AM. He has red hair and is adorable. I love him! He was eight days late, but I have forgiven him for that. Seriously....he's the cutest ever.
S: Selling books on eBay. I sold a whole bunch of textbooks on eBay and obsessively spent my time checking to see if they got bids.

B: Bean game! Laurissa came over and taught us how to play the Bean game. Basically, you trade and grow different kinds of beans (coffee beans, kidney beans, black-eyed beans, blue beans, etc.) in your fields and trade them in to get coins! What a great game!

Check out that sunset.
Janessa's such a good driver. 

R: Road trip. It was a blast riding in the car with Janessa, blasting the radio and talking about cats. Good times.
E: Eating. I ate so much food. Morning (if I was awake), noon, afternoon, evening, late evening, night. Any/every time of day.
A: Atlas. I found this site online (sporcle.com) that lets you take random quizzes and I got addicted! Especially to the geography ones. So I dug up my atlas so that it could help me find all the countries in the world that started with K or show me the rivers that ran through central Europe. Twas great.

For old time's sake...a picture of
me and Kristen from this summer

K: Kristen. I caught up with Kristen a few times and it was great talking to her! I heard about how she's going to Ireland in May and how she's a super awesome soccer and track star. Yay! I love her.

Well that was my Christmas Break, thanks for asking. There were some good times in there, though nothing super exciting happened, but I had to write about it.
