Christmas Photos

Warning!  This post contains a lot of photos!  But, I figure it's ok since Christmas only happens once a year.  

This year we went to two family get-togethers.  We had lunch at one aunt's place and dinner at a cousin's house.  Fortunately for us, both houses were only 5 minutes apart.  We had a lot of fun hanging out with family and stuffing ourselves silly.  Here are some photos from our Christmas adventure:

(Thanks hubby for taking most of these while I played with the kids!)

Disguise your jump drive in a rubber toy

Man oh man, there are a lot of crafty techy people out there.  A couple of nights ago I kept looking at all the ways that people disguised their USB drives.  There are plenty of DIY instructions to make Lego USB drives, Chap Stick USB drives, and even mini Cooper USB drives. With all those cute DIY drives out there, I thought I'd try my hand at making my own too.

Since we don't own many power tools (and if I'm going to be honest, I'm quite ill-equipped to use them since I'm dangerously clumsy) I ended up going the easy route.  I disguised my USB drive inside of a rubber frog toy.  So the only "tool" I used was an exacto knife.  

"Ribbit, ribbit!  Feed me data!"

Making different shaped marshmallows

Merry Belated Christmas!  How was your holiday?  Good, I hope. Ours was filled with family, food, and a ton of fun.   Chuck really loved playing with all of his older cousins.  I'll upload some photos from the day's event a little later on. 

Until then, I thought I'd share this neat food trick that I learned from here.  Did you know that you can make your marshmallows into different shapes?  Well, you can.... and it's super easy to do.

Aren't these heart shaped marshmallows lovely?
