My Favorite Time of the Year!!

With December comes many wonderful experiences: picking out a fresh Christmas tree, decorating the house, baking cookies, and ElfYourself! That's right, I consider Elf-Yourself an essential ingredient to a successful holiday season. Much to my surprise, they have introduced more versions this year!! Take a look for yourself...

I present to you, the Erickson Family 2012 Elf-Yourself!

Every version (click the links to follow through): Classic, Hip-Hop, Soul, 80s, and Charleston.


I love ALL versions. Please note my dad Mike and Kona (the family dog) high-fiving in the first few seconds of the Soul version!!  And my parent's cute little solo dance in the Charleston version!  (actually, we might change places every time, but you have to trust me that these were hilarious).

I invite everyone to make their own here, I promise you will not be disappointed.

After that belly-laugh, I am back to studying for finals. I swear if I read the words "fecal-bulk" one more time this quarter, I am going to barf... yay for Fiber!! ;)

Live Long and Prosper.

Star Trek, anyone?

Adam picked up his new car last weekend, courtesy of Shalee's sister! It's an Oldsmoblie Aurora which looks uncannily like a spaceship. It is extremely comfy and has all four wheels that run beautifully so there are no complaints about the car, but it has earned Adam the nickname of Captain Kirk. This has been my favorite joke all week- "Hey Captain, let's go to ____." I'm sure he thinks it is just as funny the 15th time. :)

Even the mirrors look like the SS Enterprise!

The above picture isn't his actual car, but it is the same make/model. I have a little surprise for his car next time we (the car and I) are alone. Being computer/Silhouette savvy, I cut a Star Trek (Technically, Starfleet Command) logo out of black vinyl. I can't wait to slap that baby on the bumper!

I'm not going to tell him and see how long it takes before he realizes he's been commanding the SS Enterprise. He has a 24-hour shift today, so I have to be patient for the car to come back. Patience has always been my strong suit. :)
