Okay I just have to say...

LOL PURPOSE TREE!!!! You should call it that from now on.

Can you share the link for the snowflakes? My daughters would love to make them.

Sure, it's here: http://mattersofgrey.com/diy-star-wars-snowflakes/

They recommend you use an x-acto knife to do some of the smaller cuts. I didn't have one, so I just used scissors. So you can see some of my cuts aren't exactly the same (I adapted them to be able to use scissors), and they are a bit rough around the edges. But still came out pretty well!

Now I wonder if there are any Disney ones out there...

DF would be thrilled with those!

Loving all the photos.

Thank you! I have some more but they did not transfer to my laptop for some crazy reason so I am going to need to work on that. I am working 15-16 hour days for the next couple of days so it probably won't be for a bit

Nice job on all of the photos of the tree baby. I can't wait to get home to see the tree again! Soon, very soon!

Cheers. Greg

Thanks sweetheart, I am glad you like the pictures I think I did a good job on the photography of them and the lighting. The yoda one is kind of dark but I did not want to move the ornaments from their natural position on the tree. Can't wait for you to be home

Teresa I love your ornaments!

I also thought you might appreciate this... I love to cut out paper snowflakes, so my mom sent me a link for a website that teaches you how to make Star Wars snowflakes. So I tried the Stormtrooper one...

And Boba Fett!

I thought they were pretty cool and knew that you might appreciate them!

This is amazingly awesome! I can't wait to see the link...oh wait you did link it I will comment on that further down. Thank you for sharing this awesomeness

I probably will! hahaha

These turned out great! I found this article a few weeks ago and tried making the stormtrooper one...miserably failed!

Well guys the time has finally come we are leaving on a flight out of Austin, TX tomorrow at 7am. It is time for us to get back to Disney World to celebrate our first Christmas together.

It has been a crazy past week as we have tried to get everything done that we need to get done so that we can be 100% relaxed on our trip. There is lots of work to be done still and I have a list for myself today. The best part is DF has been amazing at helping me get stuff done while I have been at school working trying to get the last few days of the semester finished.

We also got our engagement picture outfits figured out finally I think they are going to be great pictures especially with all the props and fun we will have doing them. Yes there is going to be some star wars stuff in them!

Here is a picture of all the christmas cards that have come in. A few more have come in since I took the picture and this posting but I am loving the christmas card exchange.

My mom finished our stockings that she made specifically for our house and they have been hung up near our tree. I absolutely love them.

Everyone I am sure has had wrapping gifts mayhem. I thought the mayhem that ensued at our house was pretty funny so here is a picture for you.

Ok so what do I have left to do. Here is my list:

• Buy kitty litter and change it for Tonks
• make a packing list
• pack my stuff
• go to brookstone or a mattress store and buy a travel tempurpedic pillow
• leave instructions for my grandpa to take care of my cat
• go to trans siberian orchestra tonight
• wrap greg's presents and pack the two that are going on the trip

So the list really is not that big anymore. I am very excited about tonight my mom bought us tickets to see trans siberian orchestra tonight for christmas. She knows that I love them and that I was not going to be able to go this year because of the trip. So we get to go to that tonight.

So here is our itinerary for tomorrow which I can not wait for.
We leave at 7:00 am on a flight to orlando I believe we connect somewhere.

Then we will get into orlando about 1:30 pm and head straight to the wilderness lodge. Once we check in (i did online check in) we will get on a bus or in a cab and go to Hollywood Studios. We will go to the ticket counter and pick up our annual passes that we bought and then head to guest relations to pick up Tables In Wonderland.

After we get all of that taken care of we will head straight to Star Tours as this is ALWAYS our first ride.

After that we will see how much time we have because we have a dinner reservation for Mama Melrose's at 5:15pm which is ALWAYS our first meal.

After this we will probably hang out at DHS for a while or we might head over to MK. We have a late dinner reservation at the California Grill at 9:40pm I planned this specifically so we could see Holiday Wishes at 10:00pm from the California Grill.

I can not wait for our first day. Follow me on twitter @icecoldpenguin because I will be live tweeting about the trip as the trip is happening. So if you want to follow along I always tend to do this. Also follow my blog www.fangirlnextdoor.com as I will be trying to put up blog posts every night or every couple of days. I will also try to keep you guys updated here on the DIS with pictures.

Have a very merry christmas I love you all and thank you for all being so amazing this year. I am looking forward to this next year of planning. I can not believe I am getting married in less than a year now.

May the force be with you,

Teresa

Merry Christmas, and have a wonderful trip! Enjoy the Trans Siberian Orchestra, that sounds like a lot of fun. And I have to admit that my bedroom still looks exactly like your floor - with all of the wrapping paper, boxes, bows, and everything!

 

[MrsDuck]

I LOVE the Trans Siberian Orchestra! Let me know how it is!

My card made the fridge-- woohoo!

Looks like you're pretty much all ready to go!

I know we've been texting but I can't wait to hear how the trip goes! I'll follow you on Twitter and check your blog! Text me whenever!

Hope you have a wonderful trip and a Merry Christmas!

Love you girlie!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Oh, your house is so Christmasy! And I see Smokey on your fridge. I wrapped all of Chris's presents yesterday--- I hope he likes everything!

I hope you have a very Merry Disney Christmas! I am excited for you, but I hope you don't mind that I am a litttttttle bit jealous.

Also, have fun at TSO!

 

[Shannon84]

I hope you and greg have the most wonderful Christmas I can't wait to hear all about the trip and see pictures!!
