The One with Christmas Inspiration

We were supposed to be in Denver for Christmas this year. But when Fox got sick the doctor x-nayed our travel plans so we stayed here and had our first Christmas as Evans Party of Three. Last night we opened one gift each. Chris got me a Christmasy DVD and I got him a Mad Gab/Picto Gab card game. We were having fun sounding out the clues and laughing it up. Then we came across this card:

I laughed soooooo hard I cried. (It says, "Ten 'fork' Holler Auto = Denver, Colorado). As if we weren't missing family enough we had to be reminded of it! Haha. It was a classic moment we'll always remember.

I know Christmas is officially over in just a couple hours, but blog posts are permanent so here are just a few Christmas-y things I love:
Light strands in the shape of a Christmas tree from A Merry Mishap:

Easy to make Christmas banner:

Super cute Fox ornament from Terrain (not available anymore sadly). (Thanks for the link Amy!)

Jen's weimaraner Gryffin covered in twinkle lights.

Advent calendars from Pottery Barn.



Fox stocking from an etsy seller that I can't find anymore because it probably sold because it's soooo cute! (Thanks for the link Jill!)


Adorable Christmas cards by Rifle Paper Co.

A fun way to jazz up a present, especially with a die cutting machine like a Cricut!

Now that I have a child I'm starting to think about fun crafts we can do in the future. This one definitely tops my list. Idea from Ashley Ann. (It's a painted hand snowman ornament!)

Bottles full of light from Design Mom. Purdy!

Hope your Christmas Day was magical!
