Lisa, Jennifer and I had our Christmas get-together last night. We decided to avoid the crowds and just ordered Pei Wei to go. We ate dinner here at my house and then we decorated Gingerbread Houses. If we were giving out awards, Jennifer would have won for fastest AND the messiest decorator...
I learned that I'm the slowest. I ended up taking so long, I just slapped some stuff together to finish. Next year, maybe I'll build one by myself and spend as many hours on it as I want and see if it turns out any better looking.
Here are our finished houses...

I've received so many wonderful gifts from my friends this week that I could just call it good for Christmas (I won't, but I'm just saying I could). I've received gift cards from Barnes & Noble to use with the Nook I'm getting from my parents. I got a Sephora gift card too. I got a garlic press, which I have mentioned that I needed at least a hundred times. I got this adorable Lilly Pulitzer bag that matches the case I'm getting for my Nook and it has a neat little waterproof zipper pouch for my Nook...
I also got this adorable ice/drink bucket. Isn't it cute?
I've got such awesome friends! Not because they got me great gifts, but because they really are the best (they just happen to also be amazing gift buyers!). I'm so excited that I have been able to spend time with almost all of my close friends this week (if only I could I Dream of Jeannie blink myself to North Carolina to see you Jenn!)
