Christmas 2009 Photo Extravaganza

Remember how this one used to look like Benjamin Button? I think she's filled out quite nicely.

I gave pretty much the most awesome presents this year. Bone Senior got The Whiz.

Her hub got this magnificent t-shirt.
Li'l Mil got Cars. Lots and lots of Cars.

Oh, and also this little gem, cause I'm the coolest aunt ever.
And Nano got snotty crumbs all over me.

Look, It's Not a Square!

Until last night, I could only crochet things that were in a square shape, or a variation of a square. Ok pretty much I could only do blankets and scarves. Lots and lots of scarves. Until last night.

That's right bee-yatches, I MADE THAT! It needs a few embellishments, but at least I figured out what to do with the hole in the top.

'Tis the Season for Pooing in the Potty

"SASHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I WENT POOPY!!!"

Those were the words screamed at me by an excited Li'l Mil last week after he'd sucessfully pooed in the potty. After being bribed with a new Lightning McQueen by Bone Senior, and after the promise of a new Sally car hand delivered by Aunt Sashie if he'd go poop in the potty.

Bone Junior: You DID!!!!! Did you go in the potty?

Li'l Mil: YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! (pause) You bring me Sally now, right??

I wish I got that excited every time I pooed in the potty. Then again, I probably WOULD get that excited if Bone Senior bribed ME with new Lightning McQueen too...

And just to erase the mental image of me pooing in the potty, please to enjoy my annual self-centered Christmas card:

O Come Let Us Adore Me!

My Belly is Happy

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better, the UPS man arrived and announced, "I have Tastykakes for you!"

Blink. Blink. Whhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Tastykakes? In UTAH?? No way.

"Shut. Up. ARE THOSE FOR ME! ARE THOSE TASTYKAKES FOR ME! SHUT UP! SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!"

Not only were those Tastykakes for me, but they were even better than I expected because they were packaged in this:
Seriously! Do my friends know me or what. Thank you thank you thank you Lady for the wonderful Christmas present!!

Mission Accomplished

Now I will officially be the coolest aunt ever.
