Every year at Christmastime, I like to do a gingerbread project.

2008: Willy Wonka and his Chocolate Factory. Yep. I built a factory. It had a chocolate waterfall.
2009: two foot pirate ship. For Jack Sparrow. The ship was super frustrating to build. Never again.
2010: Christmas Gone Wrong. Mom was lame and got one of those premade houses from the store, so we jazzed it up a built and put Godzilla on the roof, set the windows on fire with fruit roll-ups, and tied up Santa.
2011: Ninjabread men.
2012: We didn't have a gingerbread project last year because we spent Christmas at my grandparents' house.  :(

I love getting swept up in the Christmas season! My house looks like Santa's Workshop exploded in it. Literally. I'm sorry, roommates! You guys are so patient with me and my creative messes...

I've been busy addressing Christmas cards and finishing up presents all week. (I try to hand-make most of mine.) Tomorrow is the Edwards family Christmas party, which I'm really looking forward to! I hope we sing Six White Boomers. My Grandpa Edwards is from Australia, and that song has always been a big Christmas tradition in our family.

Even though it's very late at night, I just wanted to post an update. I've been meaning to for awhile, but you know, work... school... finals... Speaking of which, I have a final tomorrow first thing in the morning. Tests are basically the worst. Why can't they test me on creativity or knowledge of Disney movies or decorating? I'd be ballin at those!
