i realize i havent blogged in about…oh…4 months! but i just wanted to make an appearance and squash any ideas that i might be dead, or any other extreme excuse for me being m.i.a for so long. the truth is i didnt own my own copy of photoshop so my editing and resizing was limited to specific times when i could use a friends software. but now i have my very own copy…so i am making a vow to be a better blogger and i hope you all will help me keep my promise c: i mean…there are times when laziness is a little to blame for not blogging too…but just a little. ok so now lets get on with it. please bear with me as i post some catch up stories from the last 4 months.
well i left off with my first half of christmas. (geez…i have been a slacker!) so here is a little sneak peak into my side of the families festivities.
last year (2005) we started a new tradition of playing a game where everyone takes a part of “12 days of christmas” and we sing the song…each person or group singing their part when it comes to it. it sounds super cheesey and really lame…but its actually pretty funny when you have a family as goofy as mine!
heres mike and i singing our part. mike is plugging his ear while he sings, just like all the divas do!
this was also mike and alicia’s (my sister-in-law) first experience with a real salters family christmas. they were swimming in all the gifts! it was good to be a salters kid c:
mike is wondering why my parents got us a scrapbooking kit as our JOINT gift! personally…i thought it was a great idea c:
since we celebrated christmas in the bay area (california) we had to make our usual trip to san francisco. on our way there, a semi that was driving in front of us decided to spread the christmas spirit by giving us this little gift!! thank God it didnt come through the windshield!
but we did finally make it! and OF COURSE we had to see all the typical sf sights…alcatraz, the seals, and the GIANT christmas tree!!
oh and i forgot to mention…this was mikes first time EVER to sf!! i couldnt believe it! he has been all over the world…but never been to san francisco! but by the end of the day he was over the cold bay wind and just wanted to go home.
and even though this has nothing to do with our california christmas trip…it still is related to christmas. this was mike and mines first married christmas…so i wanted to take a picture of our first christmas tree! lucky for me, my mom is very crafty and she LOVES holiday decorating…so we made the ornaments and decorated the tree ourselves! sorry you cant see them very well. but isnt the tree beautiful?
not to mention the tree stayed up until almost easter! my family was making jokes about how i should just keep it up all year and re-decorate it for each holiday. mike didnt like the idea…i thought it sounded kinda fun!
well that concludes my holidays post. stay tuned for more catch up posts!!
