Christmas Day

What my family did on Christmas....

I advertised for my blog. Here is Jeff checking it out on his phone

My dad took up residence in a recliner as he had just had bunion surgery.

 Sean begged for money with his new bank. Look at that face. Of course he 

made a ton. I gave him 50 cents and told him he better appreciate that because thats like

a half hour of work for me. 

 My Nana and I played princess shoots and ladders with Emma.

Here is a conversation we had:

Me: Are you going to Florida tomorrow?

Emma: Yeah on the Airplane!

Me: What are you going to do when you get there?

Emma: (looking at me like an idiot) land

 Most of the guys hung out at the bar in the basement

 And the girls hung out in the kitchen

And thats about it. I hope everyones Christmas was very enjoyable!

Claim to fame

Okay, I know I have a bunch of Christmas/New Years/Before Christmas blog posts to make but I just have to boast about my claim to fame. Okay its not REAL fame or even fake fame I guess. Okay its really not fame at all.

Anyway my hilarious best friend Megan has a blog called Real Life Ramblings. She is funny, but doesn't post often. Anyway I must say in her year in review I am in the blog post a lot. So check it out. And maybe you can get an idea of what we want to do in 2011....

Christmas Eve...

This is the first of many posts about my Christmas break, and I still have a few posts from before break to catch up on. So keep checking my blog this week as posts will be coming at you frequently.

Christmas Eve we went to Church than had dinner and presents at Amanda's. As I could not take pictures at Church you will have to settle for a few of the rest of the night.

We had a feast!

Cooked by none other than Angel! And don't worry on Christmas

he was heard on high sweetly singing or the plains. (Something like that)

 Me and my sister

 I got a chia pet. Yeah I was excited

 Mommy and Daddy. HaHa. Ten bucks she emails me to 

take this picture down. 

sorry for the break in posting....

I have not posted in over a week and I have lots to post on. Christmas Break was crazy busy, but I have lots of good pictures to post. Its not going to happen tonight though. I just got back to Baltimore and have a lot to do before school tomorrow. Wow break went way to fast...

What a surprise....

Last Friday night we all went out to dinner for Rebecca's Birthday (Another post about her Birthday will come later). It was a delicious vegan restaurant and we were having a lot of fun. Just as dinner was finishing I felt someone grab me at my side. "WHAT? WHO IS THAT?" I thought. After all pretty much everyone I knew in Baltimore was seated at the table. 

As I turned guess who I saw? KEN! He had come to surprise me for my Christmas present. I was pretty surprised to say the least.

Hopefully he'll like the present I get him for Christmas just as much. 

Christmas Lights

There are a group of people who live on 34'Th street in Baltimore

They love Christmas way too much 

And take their street name way too seriously

But its really enjoyable for the rest of us

I love the farmers market!

Every Sunday morning at least one person from our house walks down to the farmers market to pick up our produce for the week. All of the food is grown fairly locally and we are able to get it for a lot cheaper than at the grocery store. We are also able to get our eggs and milk. The free samples and 25 cent honey sticks are my favorite. The produce we buy there is equally amazing. The flavor in the produce is wonderful and I have began to love vegetables in a whole new way. 

Next week is sadly the last week of the market until May; however, this week when Kelly and I arrived we were greeted with a fairly empty market. Where there are usually crowds of people swarming tables we found no one. There were spaces in the rows of tables and even the farmers that did show up had very limited produce. 

This was very depressing. We have grown used to having very good produce and have become fairly spoiled by it. The other day I had a tomato in a salad and commented on how it was not good. My roommate informed me that their was nothing wrong with the tomato it was just from the grocery store and I was used to produce that was extremely fresh.

Who knew that I would move to a city and gain the taste of a farmer?

If you have the chance to buy your produce at a local market I strongly encourage it. Its better for the environment, your body, your wallet, and most definitely your mouth.

Usually this would be packed with people and tables.
