It’s hard to believe that Christmas is over already!\u00a0 I spent ages counting the days until it got here, and now it’s passed.\u00a0\u00a0 Isn’t that always the way?<\/p>\n

It was sort of weird on Christmas Eve because it didn’t really seem like Christmas at all.\u00a0\u00a0 We ordered some Chinese food and I spent a while making these rat hammocks for our friends Penny and Yuri, who also have two rats as pets and love them to death.<\/p>\n

\"Rat<\/a><\/p>\n

It took me a while to make the cube because I’d never done it before but now that I know how I’m totally going to make some more for my girls.<\/p>\n

\"Hanging<\/a>I made them the cube, one play tunnel, 2 square hammocks, a sleepy sack for hanging on the side of the cage and one double decker hammock like this pink and polka dotted one I made a while back<\/a> for Molly and Cleo.<\/p>\n

I think I’m going to try to make some more of these things to sell.<\/p>\n

I gave Penny and Yuri their gift when they were here yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 We invited them over for x-mas dinner and they brought a tray full of baked goods that Penny has been making, AND a cheesecake.\u00a0 Oh lord the woman is trying to kill me!\u00a0 Not that I’m complaining through, I swear she makes the best chocolate chip cookies on\u00a0 the planet.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

I was kind of nervous because I’ve never cooked a big meal like this for company before, but I really liked it.\u00a0\u00a0 I think I’m going to do a big Christmas dinner again next year but I’m going to get some fancy dishes and a centerpiece and all that jazz.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I got loads of compliments on the food, which was a good boost for my kitchen ego.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m not that confident with my cooking skills but I figure the more I invite people over the more used to it I’ll get.<\/p>\n

Did you notice Xander is wearing his pajamas?\u00a0 When our company arrived he was wearing shorts and a pajama top and he wouldn’t change! haha\u00a0 He’s been home with me since we got back from Canada and has been living in his pajamas.\u00a0 He’s so funny… it’s going to be so weird for me when he goes back to work in the new year.<\/p>\n

Speaking of new years, we don’t really have any plans.\u00a0 We’ll probably just have a nice dinner and wait around for the fireworks.\u00a0\u00a0 I have my new camera<\/a> and Gorillapod<\/a> (coolest thing ever!) I’m going to be set!\u00a0 If I don’t get some decent fireworks photos this year I’ll be highly disappointed.<\/p>\n
