Our Christmas Holiday

Today, 12/22/11, My husband, Kaleb, and I celebrated Christmas!  I know it is a few days early, but we are leaving to go out of town tomorrow to go celebrate the holiday with both sets of our parents.  My parents live an hour away from us and Kaleb's live 3.5 hours away from my parents, so we have a lot of traveling ahead of us!  Kaleb and I made some awesome snacks for our celebration:
We had sparkling grape fruit juice, carrots, grapes, nutella, chicken bites, Amazing potato cubes YOU CAN FIND THE RECIPE HERE and drunk weenies! Even though I snacked more than normal today, I give myself credit for throwing in a healthy plate of fruits and veggie and not breaking my commitment of  not drinking a non diet soda! 

Kaleb did pretty well as far as presents go, this is my favorite: He got me the antique door which I love! I plan on putting it in our future mud room and using as a coat rack! there are 2 tall hooks and 2 short hooks! It would be perfect if we end up having 2 kiddos!  He also made me this sign that says ROGERS! I've been wanting one of these for a long time! He even took the pictures himself! One of the days that I was busy wrapping presents with the Sunday School girls, he went out and took pictures at Ole Miss campus and found all the letters in our name from random things! Such an awesome hubby! It's my favorite because of the obvious effort he put into it!  

My favorite gift that I gave him was this crayon art I made: Kaleb proposed to me while it was raining and I was holding an umbrella!  Unfortunately we weren't able to get a picture of where we were engaged, so I made this to represent that special memory! I learned how to do this craft by watching a video on youtube which you can find HERE,  The only difference is that I used a much bigger canvas, got 2 boxes of 96 count crayons threw out the ugly colors and then lined my rainbow up.  I also painted a silhouette on the canvas before I melted the crayons and an umbrella top that I cut out of wood.  This was cool because it caught the melting crayons and crayons dripped off the bottom of the umbrella! This was a very fun project, I definitely recommend giving it a try! 

Back to why I'm writing this blog! As far as my exercise goes for the day, I burned 129 calories on my kinect with the YOUR SHAPE game. Not as much as days 1 and 2, but I was pretty busy! Since we will be out of town for the next few days I plan on trying new things out in my workout plan! So stay tuned to see what I'll do next!
