Christmas Eve, Eve

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Mine was weird, but good. Not weird in a bad way, just... weird. But it honestly was good. Just... weird. But good. I'm sounding repetitive. But anyways, there was so much going on this weekend that I think I'll break everything up over the next couple of days. So first off the gift exchange with my dear friends.

Thursday night I got together with Bri., Michael, Jess, Sarah, Charissa, and Chel, and we exchanged gifts at Panera. It was a really wonderfully good night! We ate, and talked, and got wonderful gifts, and Charissa sang us a song about a little sperm... and no alcohol was involved! I left my SD card at home, so these photos are all stolen from Charissa.

My favourite picture of the night!


It was an incredibly fun night! And my friends know me all too well. This is what I got!

From Charissa:

Charissa

I've been wanting these books forever! They are so sweet and charming! Thanks Charissa-bird!

From Jessica:
Jessica
This is the world's coolest journal. There is a page for each day with entries for 5 years. How cool is that!!! I was so excited when I opened it!!
Jessica


Jessica

I've also been sending Jess some less than subtle hints that I wanted to marry this album and have it's little musical babies, and it worked!! I've not stopped listening to it since Thursday!

Jessica
How pretty are these earrings? I love them so much. Jess found them at some random store and they are just perfect! It's hard to tell in the photo but they are a bit brassy and look antique!


From Sarah:

Sarah

Sarah embroidered this apron for me! Which is hysterical because both of us embroidered our gifts to each other and kept complaining for days about how long it was taking! I love the apron so much and it has already been put to good use. Of course I realized on Friday that I shouldn't wear this outside my house because it might send people the wrong message:
Sarah

The problem with being named 'Ashely' and red being your favourite colour is that you will look like a literary harlot who made my High School experience a living hell (good gosh I hated that book!)

Sarah
BUT IT HAS GNOMES AND MUSHROOMS!!!!!!!

Sarah
Homemade peppermint bark from Sarah! it was very yummy too!

Jane Austen, music, journals, earrings, aprons, gnomes, peppermint, and mushrooms? I think my friends get me!
