It's Christmas at the Robinsons!

It's been a few weeks in the making, but it's officially Christmas at the Robinson household!

I have (almost) all of my handmade Christmas cards completed and mailed (I'm up to 50).
Handmade Christmas Cards
All of our Christmas decorations are out.  
No, I do not know those people in the frame. Still need to print a picture for this...
Again- I do not know those people.

We have a tree that is lit and decorated
One of the many benefits of having a tall husband

I have wrapped all the gifts that have been purchased
I color-coded the wrapping papers according to which of the four Christmases we'll be attending
I made handmade tags to put on the gifts!

Even Grady is getting into the Christmas spirit!
I purchased a new Christmas CD this year to really step up my Christmas spirit: The Glee Christmas mix. I believe it was five days after Thanksgiving, and five days after I officially declared the start of Christmas celebrating in the Robinson household, when Pat asked me if I was sick of Christmas music yet. He has asked me many times since then and once again today. The answer was no five days after I started listening to it and the answer is still NO! Not only do I not get sick of Christmas music, I only listen to it for a month, after all, but I can listen to the same Christmas CD over and over and over.

I am OBSESSED with the Glee Christmas CD I bought and I listen to it every morning on my way to work and every evening on my way home from work. It's pretty sad that my commute is long enough to listen to the entire CD before arriving to work, but that's life. So that means ever since I purchased the Glee CD (exactly one week ago) I have listened to the entire CD an average of two times a day. And no, I'm still not sick of it! I am a creature of habit, after all.

My absolute favorite song on the CD is "Last Christmas" which ironically, was one of my least favorite Christmas songs before they redid it. So go Glee! Here it is in case you would like to give it a listen.

I'm much too young to act this old

You can interpret that statement many different ways and they all would probably apply to me. But I'm specifically talking about my inability to get ready for work in the morning without forgetting something. And it has been happening a lot lately. If there is ever a morning where I actually remember everything, it is a rare occassion and a cause for celebration. This is yet another reason why I know I'm not ready for a child. If I can't get my 27 year-old self ready in the morning, how could I possibly get myself and a child ready in the morning? On less sleep?!?! Nope. Not ready. Sorry, Mom. It's never anything earth shattering that I forget but it's something just enough to be super annoying. One day it was my mascara. It's very weird to look in the mirror at the bathroom at work and see your face with makeup on and it looks like you have no eyelashes. Another day it will be my earrings. Not a huge deal, but it looks weird when you're used to seeing s...

Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project

I recently joined the group 20 Something Bloggers and stumbled across the blog below where Sandy is creating and releasing 1000 paper cranes with a different inspirational word on each one. She leaves them for others to find and to hopefully spread a bit of positive energy and "world peace" which is what cranes symbolize. She came up with this idea after reading "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" by Elanor Coerr which is a book about a girl from Hiroshima who was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to fold 1000 cranes before she died but unfortunately only made it to 644. I was inspired when reading her blog and thought you might be interested in learning about it too! Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project : "So why 1000 paper cranes? What started this all? After reading the true story of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Elanor Coerr, I was..."

First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!
