Since last Christmas was the ultimate culmination of all the worst Christmases ever, I was kind of dreading this Christmas. I was planning on going home to Arizona, but somehow I ended up in Boulder.
It was a decision that something inside of me took over and made on it's own. That same something went ahead and invited Tanya along for the ride. 
My friend's husband is from Bavaria, so they do kooky things like let angels set their tree on fire (those are sparklers!) angels are so dangerous these days. then they open all their presents on Christmas eve. 
Tanya was so excited about her presents! I didn't tell her she was getting any, so it would be a nice surprise, surprise!
This little angel got a harmonica from Jesus. (j.k. it's from Santa.)
Then she got a bag from her grandparents... she's a bag girl.
I made this rasta hat for all of Kristen's hair, this is the second Christmas she's gotten it as a present... it wasn't finished last time, so I took it back. 
haha! I'm a hippie! (j.k., dog.)
Kristen's son in law made her a hippie bag. She's gonna keep her bullets in it the next time she goes hunting... or to a hippie rendezvous. 
oh! babies!
Christmas day was pretty busy, Kristen invited her entire town over for a Christmas potluck. Tanya and I got to decorate these cookies. (this is my favorite picture from the whole trip.) At first I wasn't into it, but then I got this idea for making dots and feather designs and now it's the second thing I think about all the time after thinking about my tiny tumbleweed house. Also I made an angel into a centerfold, you will just have to imagine it, as I didn't take a picture of that exact cookie.
Christmas Day! Also I helped Kristen make a turkey!
Tanya was a model.
More modeling!
kids in the window, this is so Christmassy!
desserts, of which I ate MANY!
Seriously so fat! you see how that little blonde girl is leaning forward, doing stuff? That was totally out of the question for me. 
Saturday was super sunny and I thought... "a shadow picture"
this is the creek Tanya fell in while unstucking my car. Also this boy Sean fell in on the other side, sorry no pictures... 
This girl knows what I'm talking about... pretty much always.
Anyways, Happy Christmas, bitches. See ya' next year!
