What a Wonderful Present

Today I am twelve. A cold, wistful, December birthday, I know but this one was extra special. I got the most wonderful present a girl like me could wish for. Snow. It snowed on my birthday. If you were ever to know me personally, you would know I am madly in love with snow. To me, just a week without snow in the winter time is like a year without rain. So today, when I woke up to a glistening view outside my window, that put a grin on my face. Especially since there had been no snow in, lets think back...A MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! So in the spirit of snow I decided to attach myself to my camera and take a few SOOC shots of my Christmas decor and some wonderful gifts my friends gave me.

 At my house we have a little Christmas Village where we have all of these little figurines and shops so I decided that they would make wonderful photos! Above is some little carolers!

  Some little boys and their sled!

 I love this one!

 There's the ice man and his horse! I tried focusing on the words, what do you think?

 This one is my all-time favorite!! Oh, I just love making snowmen!

 I got a shot of a snowy little tree we had put up in our village.

 I love the little dog!

 We have this super cute little ice skating rink in our Christmas Village where the little ice skater spins around the "ice". I took this pic so it looks like the two are waving at each other!

Mr. and Mrs. Claus!

 And there's the little paper boy!

 And on to the presents! 

 I got some fun Santa socks!

 These were my favorite of the many pairs of new earrings. (my friends surprised me by all giving me earrings and letting me know that I was going to get my ears pierced! Eeep!)

I got this fun new book from one of my good friends. I will be using this a lot!!

 I got a wonderful little "K" where I could hang necklaces and my new earrings.

And finally I got a really cute new wallet from another one of my good friends. Love the Koala!!

And those are just a few of the many Christmas decorations and presents I got this wonderful snowy day!
