Wordful Wednesday. Holidays, Surprises & Other Awesome Type Stuff.

by Dumb Mom on December 29, 2010

2010 is quickly coming to a close.

There are really only a few short days left to make this year awesome before it’s gone and you’re stuck living with a mediocre year on your conscious for the rest of eternity.

Don’t let that happen to you.

Do something amazing while you still have time.

Or, as an alternative to greatness, you can suck really badly so that 2011 can seem that much more great.

That’s what we’re planning; 3 final days of less than awesome living so we have something to work towards in 2011.

More on that later.

Today’s post is all happy-happy-joy-joy about what Christmas at The Casa was like.

Because you care, I know you do.

All of you who assume I’m some sort of really amazing, unfairly attractive, successful at pretty much everything type person will be happy to know that as awesome as I am, we celebrate the holidays pretty much the exact same way as most other, arguably less awesome, people do.

We decorate (this just so happens to be my most cherished holiday decoration ever)…

We exchange gifts (a little before, during, & after of Christmas morning as proof)…

 IMG_0671 IMG_0710 IMG_0712

We eat a bunch of seriously delightful goodness (all of which is prepared from scratch by yours truly)…

And, we enjoy each other.

You know, like mostly.

But, because we are so committed to living awesomely, we also take things to another level at The Casa.

A holiday decorating session with a little Dumb rubbed on it…

Take particular note of the nutty going on in the background of that last photo.  It pretty much sums up life at Casa de Dummies, cluttered floor, flying toddler and all.

It’s easy to see why this Dumb Mom so freakin’ loves the holidays!

Fun times.  Fun food.  Fun Dudes.  And fun gifts too!

What?

Didn’t I tell you what Dumb Dad got me?!

  IMG_0696

Yep, ‘cause I deserve it.

Don’t ask.  Just believe.

And there you have it, friends, last Wordful Wednesday of 2010 so don’t eff yours up make it good!

2011 is gonna be epic (as in I have a HUGE WW surprise coming up for next week, so go ring in the New Year with a bang, and make sure you have yourself back over here to the Casa next Wednesday so you don’t mess around and miss it!).

You’ll see!

What the what? I am so loving your casa!

That last photo of the flying toddler is seriously cool. I thought only mine could walk on air. lol.

I’m glad you had a fantabulouslyfuneatingplaying Christmas.

Oh and gosh a OemGee…I mean an Ipad! So cool. So dish, is it as good as advertised?

I am so rocking this year…I surely accomplished my resolution. I’ll be waiting to see which rock to climb onto in the 2011.

Happy time . lol (have you seen that ad? )
Aloha!

I totally didn’t make my last WW amazing. Because you know, I’m going for the slacker angle so that I can rock 2011. (Or because I’m all holiday’d out and feeling lazy and slackerish so that is my excuse)

Congrats on your iPad. Holy sweetness!

Looks like an awesome Christmas! (Though that last photo does NOT depict a cluttered floor. If you want to see clutter, come over to our house!)

I love Christmas at your house. It looks a lot like ours. Smiles galore, wrapping paper everywhere and complete chaos in the background. My kind of Christmas and my kind of family. :) Looks like you had a great one.

Erin December 29, 2010 at 5:50 am

I can NOT believe how Dude #1 is looking SO grown up! I feel like the relative that says that after not seeing them for a year “Oh my, look how you’ve grown” haha

And can I just say the jealousy is raging that you got an ipad. I got a computer but sheesh not an ipad!

You have some fun loving kids there. And boy did you say your last WW for 2010 in a blast off way.

Carissa December 29, 2010 at 8:18 am

That flying toddler bit really IS amazing! :)

What the What? And all!

It’s been so long since I got jiggy with the WW that I forgot how to link up and left my NAME as my linky. Duh. My post is much cooler than my name. Like I totally promise. For reals.

Oh forget it.

Merry Merry and all that… :)

Whoops! I’m such a dork! I added my link twice. Looks like I left quite an impression for the last WW of 2010. :-P

Anyhoo, your photos are so much fun. My favorite photo is the Shreking the Halls photo. That’s brilliant! Your Christmas looks just like ours, minus the iPad, of course. Man, if only I was as awesome as you. I have so much to learn.

My favorite

You got your ipad. Be sure to tell me what apps rock your world. Also, I love your Santa decoration. Is there a story behind it? Do you make your own syrup, too? :) I’m kidding so if you say yes, I’ll feel inadequate. So glad you had a nice Christmas. Looking forward to ringing in the New Year in a few days. And with you, every. single. Wednesday. And Tuesday night. Oh, did you get mobile me? Is your regular computer a mac? I can’t get my calendars to sync up with mobile me on my ipad and laptop.

P.S. “You got your ipad” is supposed to be screamed. So exciting.

Wow, I might have to set my 3 ladies up with your boys – they all have a bit of the ‘crazy’ in them too… And man, are your men little lady-killers – even with a bit of ‘dumb’ rubbed in! LOL. Glad you stopped by for WW. What a nice discovery! Cheers!
