christmas this year! 2k12.

This video is a stop motion of the whole month of December at my house ^

I had a really great christmas, and I'm really just thankful for everything my family has done for me and all the nice things they constantly do even when I don't deserve it. They are really amaze balls people.

Also, here's a photo of my stocking that I told ya'll about in the Christmas Tag:

My mom made the one on the far left end that says Donna, that's hers. And she made mine at the very beginning on your right that says Nora. The two small ones in the middle are from her boyfriend's family, and the two red ones are kits my two younger sisters did one year. My mom said she's probably going to break out the sewing machine before next year and make them all big ones as well. There are two not pictured, and that'd be my two older brothers who don't live with us anymore, she also made those. We've had these big stockings since I was like.. I wanna say 4 or 5 years old, I can't remember. It's been awhile.

Thank ya'll for reading my blog and watching my junk :) Ya'll are the best. I'm going to do a mini series of posts starting in a couple of days of my "winter beauty essentials." Each post will be dedicated to a different thing, like one will be eyes, one will be face, and so on and so forth. So, I hope ya'll will be looking forward to that. :)

I hope everyone has had a really good holiday!

Love, Noralee

Snippets Sunday #7

On Friday night I had a gift exchange with my closest friends, Stephen, Erik, Manuel, & Ivan. :)

I made a stop motion, so here's that:

And the silly photos we took in stephen's apartment if you don't want to watch all the to the end in the stop motion or watch it at all:

Stephen & I. :)

These boys. :)
Erik, Stephen, Manuel, & Ivan.

E, S, N, M, I

 I really don't know why they took of their shirts.


I just don't question their lives anymore, I guess. Hahah. :)

Christmasssss. :)

 Stephen got me the new book on Kurt Vonnegut that has all of his letters and old photos in it. I'm beyond stoked about that.
I adore these guys. :)
I really couldn't ask for better friends. They're all equally important to me. I've known all of them since the start. I've been friends with them since I moved here four years ago, and they're honestly the few people I've really kept in contact with and kept being friends with since graduation. I love these guys to bits, seriously.

I'm headed to an "ugly christmas sweater" themed party tonight. So, I'll try to include some photos of that in my Christmas post or some other random post. It'll be super fun. I've been documenting christmas around our house all month, so I'll have a nice collective christmas stop motion to do after actual Christmas Day is over and done with. :)

Happy Sunday! :)

Love, Noralee
