11/27 - Mixed-up Monday!

I don't think I know you anymore!

 

I still have some of the stuff my kids made over the years they have gotten rid of some of them on their own but we still have a nice selection of handmade ones that turned out nice

 

We finally got a new tree this year. We had inherited my in laws old one when they quit decorating for Christmas, but it was huge!!!! and it was so old it it had big holes that no amount of fluffing could fill in lol. Now we have a nice pre-lit one we got on a BF sale and it's was 1000 times easier to decorate.

 

That's because she isn't old enough to understand stuff like that yet.

 

You get me bb.

 

That is so sad

My stepsons ornaments usually end up front and center. Half of our actual christmas decorations are things he's made in school when he was in elementary. I LOVE the homemade stuff. The only "real" ornaments we have are yearly hallmark firefighter ones that my husband got every year from his mom when he was a firefighter. I think there's about 10 of them.

 

I hate when people do those kind of things my actual mom got rid of all my stuff like that, I was so pissed. She could've just given them to me. Also got rid of my huge collections of kids books because I "didn't need them anymore", and now that I have a kid of my own i'm like "GEE THANKS MOM".

 

This conversation is doing nothing but reminding me that I need to actually get up and do things. I have to move my whole computer setup up stairs so I can put the tree up. Curse you guys for reminding me that life exists outside of my computer chair.

 

Note 8? I love the two camera bokeh effect and the fact that you can alter the amount of the effect even after taking the shot.

 

@Hummingbirdee this is the etsy shop of the person that made that ornament... maybe if you ask nicely she'll make you one lol.

I sort of hate the fact that my cell phone camera way outperforms my circa 2000 Olympus Point and Shoot... and that was a great camera.

 

I mean, mostly to each their own of course. 90% of our ornaments are gone with the wind, airplanes, and clemson- because these are the easily giftable things we like lol. We have an eccentric collection of some randos though. I have a giant plastic candy cane, and telling me I can't put it up just means I will buy more. Matt is not stupid enough to argue about it, my ex on the other hand. We once had company over and he walked into an apartment with like 20 giant plastic candy canes, wrapped in garland, glued to the walls. I regret NOTHING!

Awww, that sounds nice!

Stepmom also rage destroyed most of our childhood photos because my mother took them or was in them. So, most of my childhood is gone. That was nice. She never asked, just trashed em. My dad had a nice meltdown over that too, cause baby pics, and you think she would have learned the first time. She was apparently embarassed that my dad would happily hang things up, like the just fully terrible hanger door wreath I made as a kid. She would yell at him and he would just gesture to it and say, "ISN'T IT THE WORST?! I LOVE IT!"

My dad and I don't get along most of the time, but we have the same exact tacky off the wall sense of humor. Nobody ever lets us play something like pictionary or charades togerher cause we just feed off the other ones insane logic and everyone insists we are cheating lol.

 

stick figures?

 

Because with 2 it's not just digital blurring and you can change it afterwards in case you want a clear shot as well.
