December 28, 2012: Christmas Gifts!

We went for a walk downtown today and saw this weird little thing by a power station.  We still can't tell if it is a plant or part of a broom :)

Then we bought our Christmas gifts to each other: new road bikes!!!  Bike N' Hike gave us a great discount and were super helpful.  We also had a really great experience at Peak Sports when we shopped there earlier this week.  They gave us great information and were very helpful.

 

Rob's new bike and Lisa's new bike

December 22, 2012: Cowl

I finished a cowl and gave it as a gift.

December 21, 2012: The Vault

On our walk to the Vault, we heard singing and bells coming through the fog.  It was a lit-up horse-drawn carriage filled with people singing carols.  

Then we had dinner and drinks at the Vault with friends.

And the world didn't end :)

December 20, 2012: Stereo Remote

The stereo remote has been missing for a long time.  I searched every nook and cranny of the living room, but could not find it.  Rob found it today, under a side table by the window.

December 19, 2012: Playful Kitty

Our old cat has suddenly become very playful.

December 18, 2012: 2 Hour Delay

Today we woke up to the news that school was delayed 2 hours.  The crazy thing?  There was no snow on the ground.  Two hours later when we woke up to go to work, this is what we saw :)

December 17, 2012: Chocolates!

December 16, 2012: Oh Christmas Tree?

We decorated out tree. Our potted plant tree.

One Christmas ball.  One handmade nut ornament.

One tiny string of tinsel.

We both got some Packer socks from Rob's parents for Christmas.  They are comfy.

Look at the cold little kitty and her shaved belly.  She loves that heating vent.

December 8, 2012: Rob Tries to Open Some Wine

Rob tried to use this old wine-opener to open a bottle of wine tonight.

It didn't work so well.  Instead it pushed the cork down into the wine and splashed Rob  :-D

Luckily we found our real wine opener and got the bottle open safely.

December 7, 2012: Kia Gets a Sweater

I crocheted a sweater for Kia because she has been cold recently.

Let's just say she was not happy about it.

December 6, 2012: Roasted Cauliflower

Need I say more?

December 5, 2012: Worry Doll

I made worry dolls with one of my classes.  This is my sample.  Isn't she stylish?

December 4, 2012: Lisa Emerges from the Basement

Looking hot as usual :)

December 3, 2012: Snuggly Kitty

December 2, 2012: Craft Fair

Rob made me an amazing grilled sandwich before I left.  Since I don't eat cheese, he put hummus and Tofurky on the inside of the sandwich and he used garlic butter on the outside.  Yum!

 I went to the craft fair with a friend.  Rob sent me with a list of scavenger hunt items to find. I only found one of them: a wooden snowman.

Fun day:)

November 26, 2012: Kia Likes the Heat

November is a busy month, and this year our daily photos got a little splotchy.  We will get back to taking pictures every day from now on :)

November 25, 2012: We Paint our Kitchen Cabinets

We painted our kitchen cabinets a pale blue color.

The spice shelf on the opposite wall also got a coat of pale blue.

But the inside of the cabinets got a splash of bright, primary colors.
