Friday Wrap (InstaFriday)

Happy Friday/Saturday everyone. 

 

I'm experiencing technical difficulties with uploading my photos. Grrrrr!

 

I missed last week's post so this week's will be a bit long.

 

These were taken Christmas morning. Since we opened presents on the Eve, everyone slept in Christmas morning. It sure was different now that the house if full of teens/tweens, but in a good, relaxing way.

 

 

Since Mark and I were the first awake, we had some time to take some self-portraits and create a photo booth strip.

 



 

 



Christmas night we went to Zoo Lights. This is a long-standing tradition for the Bell family. We've been going since Trev was a toddler.

This was our simple tree this year. Lots of clear lights and a star on top. That's it. I just didn't seem to get into the Christmas spirit this year. But, it turns out, I really liked the simple tree. And it was so pretty at night to look at the twinkling lights.  Christmas cards were finally addressed and mailed out a few days before Christmas. And I even got a special surprise of flowers from my hubby.



 

We bought Alec his first car (he has to pay us back 1/2 the money). He is a very, very happy boy! 

 

 

I made clay ornaments for New Year's presents. I rolled out the clay, used a cookie cutter heart shape, imprinted words with some letter stamps, allowed the clay to dry for 2 days, then painted and wrapped them in a bag with an attached New Year's wish. 

 

 

And I'm currently on an Amazon frenzy. See book. Order book. Open book 2 days later. Happy mama!

 

 

Hope your week has been full of fun memories.
