Christmas Time in the Ole Midwest

Whew. It's been a crazy Christmas time. I just looked at my blog to discover that I've only blogged 3 times in December! Well, here's the quick, slap-dash overview of my Christmas holiday.

This year, I ....

Hosted a holiday brunch for my friends in LA, including this awesome hot coco bar.

Had a mini bundt cake (bundtini) at work. 

Flew home to Michigan to spend time with my family. 

 

Mum & Meghan

Madi, Meghan, and Ellie (my nieces)

Meghan and Jen (my sister-in-law)

Got a fun Macro/Wide Angle lens for my iphone!

  

And this pretty midcentury ornament.

Played a bit in the snow in my parents' backyard.

Was gifted a pair of Hobbit feet, and finally saw the Hobbit movie (thanks to my 15 year old brother!)

Made a lot of yummy treats with my sister. 

Aprons from Izabelle (her shop is Boojiboo)

Met up with my favorite bloggy ladies, Allyson and Emily, and Emily's daugher, Ryenn. 

Who fell in love with Meghan, naturally. 

It was quite the getaway, and I had so much fun! 

I hope your holiday was warm and bright, and I'll be back tomorrow with a 2012 wrap up!
